Parmesan brings all of these sides together so plan to use a one that you love.
Simmer the broth and start the risotto. Make the dressing and prepare the salad ingredients. As the risotto finishes up saute the pine nuts & parmesan. Toss the salad and serve.
A simple Italian side dish is perfect for spring as it uses fresh peas and snap peas. Make it vegan by subbing out the butter for olive oil and substitute a sprinkle of pine nuts for the Parmesan. Brown rice can be substituted for the arborio rice, but find a short grain brown rice that would be used for sushi for example.
The bitter bite of arugula is paired with strips of parmesan and a drizzle of sweet vinegar. Use a thick, aged balsamic or sweeten up a thinner balsamic with a bit of honey, maple syrup or agave nectar.
Sprinkle on salads, side dishes or casseroles for extra crunch, a touch of protein and a ton of flavor.
