So I know risottos can seem really complicated and scary.. But they really aren't :) you do have to have a little bit of time to make it but it serves as a beautiful side dish that is sure to impress. 💁

My first risotto! :chef Added some of my fav ingredients and it came out delish! Served it with my cilantro lime chicken. Awesome meal :hungry

Risotto is one of those basic dishes that is great to have in your back pocket for quick dinners, and using up leftovers. Once you have the basic technique mastered, you can make it as fancy or as casual as you like.TIPS: The basic ratio for risotto is 1 part uncooked rice to 3.5 parts liquid. This will include your stock, wine and any additional liquid you are using. Keep an additional 0.5 parts liquid in reserve, as various rices absorb slightly different amounts of liquid.Most risotto recipes call for wine and stock as the liquid, but you can also make "stock" on the fly with dried mushrooms and aromatics such as carrots and celery, added at the beginning of the process with the onions.A little fat added at the end in the form of butter and/or a bit of grated hard cheese will really help give a creamy finish to your risotto.

Every time white or black truffle is in season we always cook this dish. We never get enough of truffle!

In northern Italy, risotto has a creamy consistency, enjoyed with a spoon or fork. I use this dish as an accompaniment to Italian cooked meats and chicken. Prepare this while the main course is slowly cooking, since it deserves your full attention.

Beautiful, light risotto made with saffron and homemade chicken stock.

I love cream risotto and often order it at Italian restaurants, so I tried making it simply at home.Soup stock cube and grated cheese are the simple keys to the flavor.I always just whip this up with what I've got in the refrigerator.I use milk when I don't have any heavy cream. Recipe by classy

I made this when I got tired of eating pasta.Please don't wash the rice as washed rice doesn't absorb liquid. If you don't have fresh mushrooms, you could use dried shiitake mushrooms. It will still be just as tasty! Recipe by HH0813

I have been making this simple and cheap dish for years. Easy to do and affordable.

wonderful flavor! my daughter who hates mushrooms gobbled it up!

Love this, it take boring white or brown rice to another level!
