Notes

  • To get a nice creamy texture in your risotto, always choose high-quality rice with high starch.
  • I stir the rice constantly as it helps release the starches from the rice, making it creamier.
  • To ensure the rice is cooked thoroughly, simmer the rice over medium heat and let all the emulsification take place.
  • Adding in cheese and butter at the end of the cooking process will enhance the flavor of your risotto.
