CREATE A STIR WITH A SIMPLE CLASSIC
Canal Boat|October 2020
For a dish that relies solely on the simple, basic combination of rice, stock and cheese for success, risotto has a ritual-laden reputation that can be rather off-putting to the novice cook.

CREATE A STIR WITH A SIMPLE CLASSIC

For sure, a good risotto requires time and attention... but not that much of either. With a little bit of patience, anybody can master the ancient art of preparazione del risotto in moments (well, maybe 30 minutes) and, once you’ve mastered the basic art of creating this creamy, luxurious, Italian classic, you’ll never look back.

Mushroom, prawns, pancetta, leftover roast lamb, crab, roast butternut squash, chorizo, courgette: variations on the risotto theme are endless, but a handful of rules must be adhered to. Firstly, high starch, short grain rice is intrinsic to the creamy texture of the dish – no other rice apart from Italian Arborio will do.
