risottoissa

Risottoissa is the inessive plural form of the Finnish noun risotto. It means “in the risottos” and is used when referring to multiple risotto dishes or to features common to rice dishes prepared as risotto. The base word risotto is a loanword from Italian risotto, which derives from riso ("rice"). In Finnish, the nominative plural is risotot, while the inessive plural is risottoissa. The inessive case marks location or state, so risottoissa literally corresponds to “in risottos.”

Usage examples appear in culinary writing, menu descriptions, and educational texts that discuss several variations of risotto or refer to the dish family in general. Risotto is a northern Italian dish of rice cooked slowly in hot broth, usually with aromatics, wine and butter or oil, then finished with cheese. Regional varieties (for example, Milanese or al nero di seppia) show a wide range of ingredients, from saffron and seafood to mushrooms and vegetables. In Finnish-language cooking literature, "risottoissa" helps group these variations under a common category rather than enumerating each recipe.
