Welcome to the summary page for FabulousFusionFood's Cook's Guide entry for Risotto along with all the Risotto containing recipes presented on this site, with 13 recipes in total.

This is a continuation of an entire series of pages that will, I hope, allow my visitors to better navigate this site. As well as displaying recipes by name, country and region of origin I am now planning a whole series of pages where recipes can be located by meal type and main ingredient. This page gives a listing of all the Risotto recipes added to this site.

These recipes, all contain Risotto as a major wild food ingredient.

Risotto is a classic Italian rice dish that began as a peasants' breakfast meal. It's fairly simple to make in but it does require some attention in its preparation. Essentially risotto is made from risotto rice cooked with stock. Other ingredients (such as vegetables, shellfish or meat) are then added, and the dish is usually finished off with a knob of butter and some Parmesan cheese, which is stirred through at the end of cooking.

The true secret of a successful risotto lies in the stirring. For a risotto the stock is added a little at a time to the rice and it is stirred until the stock is absorbed and the next portion of stock is added. This results in the classic creamy texture of a true risotto. Note that the rice should never be over-cooked and should retain an Al dente bite.
