Preparation Tips

Heat olive oil or butter in a heavy-bottomed pan and briefly sauté the risotto rice until it becomes translucent. Gradually add warm broth—approximately 225 ml for every 75 g of rice—stirring regularly and allowing each addition to absorb before adding more. Cook for 18 to 20 minutes until the rice is tender but still firm to the bite. Finish with a knob of butter and season to taste.
