No matter how decadent you make your risotto, it's always going to be a bit too heavy to be the main event. That is why it makes so much sense to serve sides with risotto. After all, risotto is just a blank canvass for so many other flavors!When you are preparing sides for risotto, think about what you are going to add to it when serving. There is no need to go overboard when pairing sides with truffle risotto, but you do want to make sure that the flavors and textures of your sides compliment rather than overwhelm the taste of your dish.Think about adding vegetables like squash, pumpkin or asparagus. They offer a sweet flavor that will contrast nicely against the earthy taste of the truffles in your risotto.
