Orange Risotto

Orange risotto is a perfect side dish for meat dishes without sauce, such as duck confit, duck breast, roasted poultry, or pork. This recipe has a mild orange flavor; if you want a more intense flavor, you can replace part of the broth with the juice of one more orange. Alternatively, you can sprinkle the risotto with some orange zest at the end.

   Add the white wine, stir and cook for about 30 seconds until the wine evaporates.
3. Season with salt and add the turmeric.
   Stir and gradually, while stirring, add a little broth.

   Cook for another 2 or 3 minutes until the rice is cooked to your liking.
