The history of this dish is a long and winding one, dating back to the ancient Greeks. The Greeks were known for their love of quinoa, and they often cooked it with vegetables and cheese. Over time, this dish evolved into the risotto that we know today. Risotto is a classic Italian dish that is made with rice, vegetables, and cheese. It is typically cooked in a broth until the rice is tender and creamy. This particular risotto is made with quinoa instead of rice, and it is roasted vegetables and Parmesan cheese.
