Risotto has been said to be ridiculously tricky, as well as simple and easy, but through careful recipe attention and experimentation, I've decided nothing works for me but my own way.
That said, risotto can be as tricky or as simple as you can manage. I think I've got my approach down.
I've enjoyed a rich combination of zucchini, onion, and ricotta risotto before, which is a favorite with fish. Recently I put together something quite last minute - purely in the efforts to make something enjoyable from food stuffs that would otherwise go to waste - and was inspired by a bit of the scandinavian flavors.

Fennel & Leek Ricotta Risotto with Broccoli Rabe and Coriander Acorn Squash
Using fresh fennel root and leeks, vegetable stock and onion, I made an aromatic base for the rice, going about my particular method for preparation.
On the side I made some lovely bitter rabe in a pan, and had two golden acorn squash halved, dashed with coriander, baking in the oven.
The flavors melted together by the creamy rice were sweet and bitter and earthy - very soothing for a winter meal.
