Wine Advice:
Pair these risotto burgers with a light-bodied red wine such as Chianti or Sangiovese. Alternatively, a crisp white wine like Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay would complement the dish nicely. If you prefer non-alcoholic options, consider serving with a sparkling water infused with a squeeze of lemon or lime.Nutritional Information
