I love risotto. I enjoy pomegranates and sauces made from pomegranates. Drinks with pomegranate juice are very tasty. Pomegranate risotto? I don't know. I've enjoyed a Myer lemon risotto and I think it's pretty common. Perhaps you could tweak a lemon risotto recipe to make your Pomegranate risotto?

Pomegranate rice: http://paperpalate.net/2007/10/04/discovering-a-tasty-continent/
You could make it into a risotto. I've made something similar to the recipe I posted. It turned out mighty tasty (I've been wanting to remake it for my blog, but pomegranates were only sold in my area for about one week this past winter).
Sigh.

I'm not being critical in any way since I've never had it, but I think that I remember a Pom-Risotto disaster from one of the Kitchen Nightmares episodes from the UK... anyone remember this episode???

I think th epom rice might work really well, thank you KarynMC.

I love pomegranate seeds but in a risotto? I guess you can add 1/2 cup of the juice in the beginning; instead or in combination with the wine after toasting the rice; then fold in the seeds at the end when you add the parmigiano. It would be great on Valentine's Day when all red food is welcome but, dude, where are you getting you pomegranates at this time of year? Just wondering

jonfoxx, i saw that in the press (didn't catch the episode). it earned some seriously vitriolic bashing from ramsay.
in fact, I see that googling "pomegranate risotto" turns up more mentions of Kitchen Nightmares than recipes.

I can see a rice pilaf or rice salad working better than the risotto: I think it's the creaminess and rich texture of risotto that seems less amenable to the taste and texture of the seeds.
Let us know if you discover something.

I have Discovery of a Continent - let me know if you want the recipe for the Spiced Butter (the blogger I linked to didn't use it).
I didn't make the spiced butter when I made the recipe, either. I just dry fried the spices at the beginning if the recipe.

Gotta concur with Renzata. Much as I hate to stifle anyone's creativity. Risotto is all about the creamy texture. The pom seed addition will wreak havoc to the dish with it's crunch & astringency the more I think about it the more it disturbs me. Renzata's pilaf or salad ideas would be much more palatable. I'm still kind of wondering where you're getting the pom? Anyway, good luck it never hurts to try. I'm rooting for you, dude!
