How to make: A Simple Risotto

Everyone has their opinion on how to make a risotto, but this is mine. Super simple, but risotto is a dish that takes time. Give yourself a full hour, its a process that involves love, care and above all, patience. I've used a cacio e pepe base for this, but you can put all sorts of flavours through it, a risotto is just a carrier for that flavour.
Happy cooking x

In a world of ultra condensed reels and shorts I’m always here for these longer format videos. Thanks for this gem! Going to set aside an hour right now to cook this.

Great video! My risottos aren't wet enough. Something to work on!

[@ChefAdamByatt]

It's all personal preference really, there's loads of ways to do it, someone will say too wet, some say not wet enough! The mascarpone will get me in trouble with the Italians too... but I love it.

I made risotto for a dinner just last week. I've got a long way to go before it looks as amazing as this. Great video!

Is any rice variety acceptable or should I be using something specific?

[@philippwalther73]

For risotto specific types of rice are used, such as Arborio or Carnaroli, a medium length grain rice works best. You can definitely find rice labeled as "risotto rice" in your local supermarket.

I used Riso Buono 'Gran Riserva' - amazing! Not an ad either ;)

@@ChefAdamByatt Thanks!

[@seanonfire4119]

@@philippwalther73 I was thinking Arborio. Thanks!

I find "real" risotto like this very depressing. I have to pretend it doesn't exist.

Not convinced. I don’t think celery has any place in this simple risotto. Water as stock: No! That’s the chance to infuse the rice with flavour, and water will not help! The ‘mantecatura’ at the end needs to be done just by shaking movements, not using a spoon. And also 25 min…No! 18-20 max, that’s why yours looks a bit like a soup at the end. You say people shouldn’t come at you cause this is your recipe, but in the same breath you states things like laws, Never do this, Never do that! As Italian, wouldn’t want viewers to be confused by what you say and what traditional risotto should be
