Click the links to the left for the recipe, shopping list, and culinary tips from the Chef for helpful tips & tricks before you get started.
1. When sweating your shallots and toasting your rice, try to get little to no color.
2. Don't stop stirring! You may get tired, but I promise it's worth it—the more you stir, the creamier your risotto will be.
3. Always use warm stock when making risotto: the heat coaxes the starch out of the rice, making it creamier.
4. Always season to taste! Add as much or as little salt and acid as you prefer.
