Chopped dates, dried cranberries, or even golden raisins would work well as a substitute for dried apricots. Adjust the amount to your preference.
Ensure your broth is vegetable broth. This recipe is naturally vegetarian otherwise.
Yes, you can freeze leftover risotto. Allow it to cool completely, then store it in an airtight container. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of broth to restore its creamy consistency.
Leftover risotto can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days in an airtight container.
