Maza Mia Carnaroli Rice (300 g), €3.90
Risotto: a great dish explained
There is often much mystery about the making of risotto. It is not difficult, but it requires practice and attention. The most crucial step is when you add the rice initially to the hot oil. This is when you toast the rice and it needs to be done for a good 4 to 5 mins. Then add a few ladles of hot stock intermittently. If you used cold stock the end result would be too mushy. Risotto doesn't wait, so make sure your guests are sitting down before you serve!
