Basic Risotto Basic Risotto
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.

Saffron Risotto Saffron Risotto
For years we would watch so many TV shows showing risotto and always wanted to make it home. So at first we ventured off to many Italian restaurants to try to find the perfect one. It took about 10 stops before we found a great tasting one, we just wanted a bit more vibrant color so we added some saffron.We took a classic risotto and just made a few adjustments to give it a little flair. Some of the additions are saffron and a touch of cayenne pepper in the broth. Spice Mix -
