What a shame, the risotto actually looks quite nice before you put all that junk ontop.

One of the few times I’ve seen a proper risotto on this sub, only for it to be covered in whatever the dishie had laying around in the sink.

Dude why all the whole nuts and random big chunks of cheese?
I see: – whole almonds (both with and with the skin removed), whole hazelnuts and brazil nuts – both mozzarella balls and feta squares – whole basil leaves – and I’m assuming chili crunch

Very crowded and incoherent on top, let people see your beau risotto!
I’d get rid of the nuts or grind them down a bit to be more of a sprinkle. I know dukkah is a bit taboo at the moment but it might be better than this.
Get rid of the mozzarella, you can just have some pieces of feta on top and it will be plenty.
The whole basil leaves could be a bit more sophisticated. I would whip them into the feta with some thyme/sage and pop a few little blobs of that, killing 2 birds with one stone.
The chilli crisp¿? can probably just go. Drizzle some EVOO if you really want.
To be clear, it looks delicious, but there’s a lot going on and not every element is serving the dish.
