""Risotto" is undoubtedly the most popular rice dish in Italy, mainly in the North. The only thing you need to achieve a perfect risotto is a good meat or vegetable stock, preferably homemade and the right kind of rice, such as Carnaroli or Arborio varieties. Unlike for the most Asian dishes, it is essential to not wash the rice. Its starchiness will contribute to create a creamy risotto. The cooking process is really simple and relatively short; In twenty minutes you'll have a flavorful result. There are a lot of things you can put in a risotto. However, the "base version" is risotto alla parmigiana. You add some good-quality parmigiano reggiano, butter, and, if you like, a little bit of nutmeg, and you stir with a spoon until the ingredients are well combined and the risotto gets creamy."
"Not a big fan but it’s good"
"Staple of the Italian cusine, especially the North-Eastern one (Lombardy and Piedmont). Must try to say you had Italian food."
"too carby"
"The most perfect way to cook rice is making a risotto."
"Absolutely phenomenal. So warm and comforting. Personal favorite is mushroom risotto"
"I don't think I need to say much, but the creamy texture, combined with what you can do with the dish is what makes it so good."
"When done well it's creamy with the contrast of the perfectly cooked arborio rice which gives it a lovely texture and bite. The best risotto in my opinion is champagne risotto and a good chef should be able to make it even if it's not on the menu."
"Love it"
