How to Make Risotto creamy and delicious. It takes a little while to make this dish, but it’s simple.
This recipe tells you how to make risotto, shown here with Italian Chicken and Indian Ratatouille.
Risotto is a creamy rice side dish.
It can be eaten as an entree or served as a side dish. It is made from Arborio rice and takes about 45 minutes to make. I don’t make it often because it takes more time that I want to spend on supper. (I’m mostly a “quick cook” and I try to prepare a meal in 30 minutes or less.)
You start by sautéing a bit of onion. Then add the rice and coat it in oil, followed by adding the liquid a cup at a time until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. You can do that, right? Add this recipe to your recipe repertoire and impress your friends.
What Tools You Need
Buy the best tools you can afford and plan to keep them for a lifetime. For this recipe, you will need a big sauté pan, measuring cups (for liquid and dry measurements), a knife and cutting board, and something to stir with. I prefer a good nonstick pan and a wooden spoon.
