Skopelos beaches, offering amazing swimming experiences and sports activities, demand a whole lot of your energy.

That is why at mealtime you need to select a dish that will instantly boost your energy levels, such as the vegetable risotto. You will find this wonderful recipe in many different versions in Skopelos restaurants.

Usually local chefs mix risotto with the traditional ingredients of vegetables, shrimp and prosciutto, in order to offer a food choice that is super healthy and nutritious. Although it seems, easy, to make a perfect risotto demands good technique and extra care, in order for all recipe’s ingredients to shine through.

Read below how we make our Risotto and taste it after a day exploring the Skopelos beaches!

• We heat the oil and butter in a pan and fry some onions in medium heat for 5 minutes.
• Then, we add the rice and stir for a few minutes.
• Now we make our herb salad mix adding some olive oil, some chopped rockets, fresh thyme, marjoram, a bit of lemon juice and a bit of oregano.
• We give the risotto a final stir and add the herb mix.
• When cooked, we place risotto on a plate, season it with salt and pepper and top it with parmesan, mascarpone and prosciutto.

When ordering Risotto at one of Skopelos restaurants, you simply need to remember one thing. Risotto is as a light meal, as the ingredients of its recipe. For example, if cream is added, then the risotto contains more calories. Yet, no matter which version of risotto you select to enjoy, be sure that it is one of the most popular meal choices after a long day enjoying the Skopelos beaches!
