So I made my first risotto...

I'm going to make some soon.

But I need to get the arborio rice.

The Thai rice didn't work, I'll leave it at that. The Arborio rice was fine so I thought I'd try an other Italian rice so I picked up some Carnaroli rice. I'll try it tomorrow.

 

[Andy M.]

The carnaroli will work well. It's a standard risotto rice.

IMHO Vialone Nano is the best rice for risotto if you can source it otherwise Canaroli or Arborio will do!

Dont forget peeps...if you want a successful risotto the stock you are adding MUST be at a low simmer, or more. It is imperative that the rice does not encounter anything colder than a simmer. Its the ' Italian' thang!
I wish I was not the traditionalist sometimes but with risotto, it cant be helped. The time honored method of stirring the rice and sipping on a glass of vino is the only way.

The last one I made was Risotto with Butternut Squash & Leeks. Very tasty!

A woman after my own heart. I make mine in my pressure cooker, and I use sage as my "green" flavor. Bring on the parmesan cheese.

When I make risotto I use a Donna Hay recipe for making it in the oven. No stirring! I am not sure all would approve but it tastes pretty good to me (and I have served it up and no said anything and no-one has been any the wiser!).
