Using mealworms and a package of crickets you can make a fine risotto.

Risotto is a classic Italian dish. There are many versions, some very traditional and others quite innovative, one of the most famous being Risotto alla Milanese (with saffron). There are also many types of rice, about 50 different varieties grow in Italy alone.

Rice is a key component in various food cultures, being healthy and rich in nutrients. As we know, rice is gluten-free, hence its an ideal food for those suffering from coeliac disease. In todays recipe we show you a variant of the traditional risotto dish, that involves the use of crickets and mealworms in two different stages of the preparation.

Lets have a look at the ingredients:

- 1 pack of naturally dehydrated crickets
- 1liter of vegetable broth
- 80 gr of rice (your favourite type)
- 1/2 pack of thyme & oregano mealworms
- A knob of butter
- Pepper and salt to taste
