Notes
Recipe Tips
- Use Italian short-grain rice.
- Don't use cold stock. Adding cold stock to a hot pan will cool everything down and ruin the cooking process. Keep stock at a simmer in a small pan so everything stays hot and cooks evenly.
- Stir the rice often but don't over stir. Stirring the rice constantly will add air into the rice, cooling it down and making it gluey. But if you don't stir enough, the rice will stick to the bottom and burn.
- Agitating the rice is important because risotto's creaminess comes from the starch generated when grains of rice rub against each other.
- Make sure you don't overcook the rice. It should not be overly mushy and starchy.
