Yellow pepper risotto with basil and cherry tomato

There are several types of peppers, but in reality it is the same vegetable and the only thing that varies is its degree of maturity: the green is the least ripe, the red one takes the longest to harvest and the yellow would be in an intermediate phase, as is the case with the orange ones. The same happens with the flavor, which increases in sweetness as said process progresses, and in its nutritional values, which are also greater as the fruit ripens. #Vegetarian
