Comments on: Risotto https://www.closetcooking.com/risotto/ Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

We had it with swordfish. It was one of the best meals that I've ever had at home!!! You've done it again Kevin!!!

I often have a toddler at my feet or a 7 year old on my heels, so I’m not sure I can always stir it nonstop, but I’ll definitely give it a try next time.

I always have low sodium chicken broth (cans) on hand, and haven’t made my own broth or stock. Ignorance is bliss I guess … If you haven’t tasted better, you don’t know any better 😉

The stirring is supposed to help release the starches and make the risotto nice and creamy. When the kitchen is not super hot, I somethings enjoy standing there stirring while enjoying a glass of the wine that went into the risotto.

I tend to use stock because I make it more often than broth and when making risotto I like to use a nice tasty homemade one. I have used store bought broth and stock though and they still make a tasty risotto.

I’ve never stirred risotto the whole time it cooks and it turns out really well. Do you consider it a necessity to stir continuously or is it optional?

Also, why chicken stock instead of broth? Is it a matter of creaminess?

I regularly make risotto as a side dish, and I’m just now expanding into “dinner” risottos which (while not strictly the Done Thing in Italy) give me a beautiful one-dish meal that can be made on a busy evening and rounded out with a green salad. This is one we like: http://www.oneforthetable.com/oftt/stories/obama-and-risotto-with-chicken-and-bacon.html (you have to read past the political part to get to the recipe).
