Risotto with celeriac and gorgonzola

Risotto is always tasty and very versatile. You can experiment wonderfully with broth and of course with ingredients. Now I made a version with celeriac, which I still had lying around. The combination with gorgonzola was a great match in my mind, luckily also in practice.

The garnishes in this recipe make it complete. The mustard seed, olives and oil have a similar shelf life, so be sure to use them in other dishes as well.
