If you have ever thought about trying risotto, but then decided it’s too difficult to make, I promise you, it’s not! You can make the best risotto right in your own kitchen.
Risotto has long been referred to as the “death dish” in cooking shows, making people terrified to even try it! With a little time and attention, you can truly make risotto part of your regular cooking rotation.
Here’s my hottest tips for risotto:
- Don’t worry about precise measurements when pouring in the stock. It just needs to basically cover the surface of the rice.
- Simmer your risotto gently – a rapid boil isn’t what we’re looking for here.
- Use hot stock!! The heat helps maintain the starch content of the rice.
- Remember to stirring regularly but not constantly.
