You do have to attend to this risotto, but you don’t need to stir it constantly.
For best results, stir the dish every 30 seconds or so while the liquid cooks down.
What is Arborio Rice?
Arborio rice is a short grain, white rice typically used for risotto.
Arborio rice comes from Italy’s Piedmont region, in the northwest part of the country.
Add the onion, salt, and pepper.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes.
Stir in rice and wine:
Add the rice and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
Add the wine and cook, stirring frequently, until liquid is absorbed.
Stir in water, 3/4 cup at a time:
Measure 312 cups of water.
It should take 25 to 30 minutes for all the water to be absorbed.
Stir in Parmesan, oregano and serve:
Remove from heat.
Stir in the Parmesan and oregano before serving.
This means that it should have a firm (not mushy) texture with a slight bite.
Risotto also shouldn’t be too chunky or too soupy.
Instead, it should be smooth without beingtoosmooth.
To peek if your risotto is done, it’s possible for you to use the spoon test.
To do this, gently run a spoon through the bottom of the risotto pan.
If the risotto rolls back, it’s ready to be enjoyed.
No, cream is not traditional in risotto.
The creaminess comes from the cooking method, plus some butter and cheese.
