how to make PERFECT RED WINE RISOTTO...the FIRST and BEST RISOTTO i've ever had

[@TheSonderOfOscar]

Don’t know if you’ll read this but hey man I just want to congratulate you on all your success and I hope for more blessings for you. I started watching your channel a year ago when I was living alone and wanted to learn how to cook. You’ve taught me so much and I appreciate your positivity. Now I have my entire family watching you. Take care.

[@TheSlavChef]

Nice to see such positivity, cheers!

At 42, I finally took to cooking last year having despised it all my life. I followed your port wine reduction sauce for our Christmas dinner of Chateaubriand and it was a hit. I'm slowly working my way through your back catalogue, posting to say thanks for your easy to follow vids. This is tomorrow's dish, thank you man

"Steve" is a household name now. At this point, if I say to my family "hey folks, wanna try Steve's..." they say "YES!" before I tell them what it even is. We've been cooking up a storm during covid, and I even got my parents back into cooking more. Thanks so much!

This is lovely

[@solozaur]

I really like your storytelling skills, the way you describe the first risotto experience made me feel like I was right there with you. The recipe looks really good, added it to be to-cook list!

[@TheSlavChef]

It's really catchy, I like how he has a story for most things.

[@greensoba]

I love Red Wine Risotto because it's turns out differently depending on the wine you use and with some wines you get really complex flavours. Pinot Noirs usually work very well and one of my best used Carmenere. Texture wise I don't usually do it so watery. I let the rice rest covered for a few minutes and a lot of the stock is absorbed as a result. Apparently the dryer style is from Lombardy/Piedmont while the wetter style is from the Veneto region.

[@glacies7]

I had an absolutely stunning risotto just like this when I was in Verona. Your video has definitely inspired me to try it out myself! A small note for anyone reading this, a nice Parmesan crisp was a delightful garnish when I had it!

[@Stirnst]

Stephen, you are an inspiration. My friends and family all make fun of how serious I am about cooking, food, wine pairing etc... you seem even more serious(ly in love) than I am and I love it. Hope you like your new kitchen, cheers from Holland.

You're right, a red wine risotto is life changing. We're NYC based, and when I first started dating my husband, he was living in Nyack, NY and would routinely take me to a place he used to bartend at, Velo - where they made an incredible Chianti Truffle Risotto. I had died and gone to heaven. Even after my husband (before we were married) moved into Manhattan, we'd take regular trips up to Nyack just for this risotto (among many other things - the lamb bolognese gnocchi!). Velo has since closed during the pandemic, but their sister restaurant Bici in Ramsey, NJ is still open and still has this awesome risotto on their menu. I'm so glad you brought this delicious recipe to the masses!

[@douglaspresler1954]

Spot on about Barolo as a cooking wine, Stephen. ATK does a beef braised in Barolo and the tannin does lend a note of bitterness to the braise. Great to drink with the beef, though.

[@13cgyetvai]

I made this dish tonight using Snoop’s wine and it blew my mind. Thanks for making this video because I LOVE risotto! Aways good videos! Be well!

[@radman3206]

Just made it using vialone rice and Chianti. A good chicken bone broth helped. A northern Italian says this is the best risotto ever. Greetings from down under and congratulations on a great YT channel.

[@jasonmeyers4724]

Nice to see you’re using two of my company’s wines - the Cinta Montepulciano d’Abruzzo and the Covalli Langhe. Use the Cinta in the dish - drink the Covalli. Well done, thanks for sharing...

[@prismo_2easy373]

In Venetia they use Amarone and sometimes serve with a pork sausage. It’s awesome.

It's a classic staple in traditional Italian cooking, as essential as good tomatoes or real parmigiano reggiano.

The algorithm makes that the main reason because you'll see another suggestion and think to yourself uhm I wonder what their dish looks like or who's could be better, once you click you'll see another suggestion for either same thing different tuber or same tuber with a different video.

[@ipvicus4231]

I've been meaning to make risotto for a while, so this came along at just the right time. Used a malbec because I like malbec and it turned out great!

[@pantherdash9231]

Love your channel and I've tried a few of your suggestions and they've all been great. Keep it up! You're right about the Barolo lending a possible bitter taste to this dish. I actually think they don't use Barolo at all to cook in Piemonte. Personally I'd rather drink it than see it evaporate in a pan. My preference from that region would be a Barbera d'Alba or Dolcetto d'Alba which are much fruitier and definitely much cheaper. I'm Canadian and we pay much more for wine than in Italy or most of the US. Still Barolo is just too precious and rare to cook with. And I actually think it's called Risotto al Barolo after the town of Barolo, not because they use Barolo wine.

[@Tazzinaespresso]

"Piedmont is known for rice and wine making" Hazelnuts *am I a joke to you*

[@itsmederek1]

I don’t think any Piedmontese has ever put actual Barolo into a Barolo Risotto. I’m not sure but Barbera (Asti or Alba) seems like a natural choice if Langhe Nebbiolo is still too ‘up market’ for you. It is lower in Tannin and has riper fruit flavors so it will give a sweeter impression. Barbera as a cooking wine just makes more sense than Nebbiolo as it’s considered the ‘peoples grape’ of Piedmont. I adore your videos!

[@nrpbrown]

This looks frigging good! I will add this to my 2021 goals

[@chibhatt24]

You have an excellent channel. I've made several of your recipes, all of which turned out fantastic. I hope you reach 1M this year!

[@johnsinglet575]

one of the best cooking shows atm.

[@teena337]

I really enjoyed your story behind the dish. The risotto looks delicious.

Hey, love the enthusiasm. You should definitely try the variant that i know - instead of butter and Mascarpone, the "gorgonzola dolce", which is a very gorgonzola cheese in which the bold flavour is mitigated by Mascarpone - already all inside. That makes it super creamy, and you can use a vegetable stock, and deeply regional!! Gorgonzola was in fact born in between Piemonte e Lombardia. Buon appetito

[@AutumnBaby004]

Beautiful! Can’t wait to try it!!!

[@gummittgiantcleaver7622]

I love cooking with Barolo.... Some times I even put it in the food !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jsafla666]

N.B. I found using a larger ladle affords you a bit of flexibiliy vs. a smaller one where the liquid will evaporate quicker. Amazing video BTW!

[@JohnHausser]

Risotto is the most underrated classic Italian recipe Lots of people are not interested in it because they are not big fan of rice

[@SuzanneBaruch]

Excellent video. Thank you for this!

[@TheDermensch]

Have you tried adding thyme or rosemary? I think those flavors work really well with red wine sauces.

[@upperdarby4455]

Once again you have inspired me to try to cook one of your dishes.

[@alessandrow1182]

Very excited for this! never heard of it before

[@colina1330]

I like using wines on the sweeter side for cooking. That way I can go a little heavier on the salt and have it all balance out. I think a port risotto would be amazing. I also like to add a little squeeze of lemon juice right at the end along with the final ladle-full of stock. Makes a big difference. Also, this would make some bomb-ass arancini with a mascarpone/mozzarella stuffing.

[@Glitzanueve]

This looks amazing!!

[@SpyingRadish]

To smoothen the risotto on the plate at the end, another cool trick is to slap the backside of the dish until it flattens.

[@TheSlavChef]

Would try that trick next time, thanks.

[@johns6481]

Let’s do a seafood paella! And then a Valencia paella for good measure.

[@Prayloliz]

[@Mallettino]

[@alessandropini1414]

I adore Langhe Nebbiolo as well. I prefer it to a Barolo anyday.

[@jimmycapp29]

That Nebbiolo would have worked great. Maybe get two next time (one to drink and one for the risotto) and have them compliment each other.

[@mjl7810]

what kind of stock did you use?

[@XSilver86]

Good, but risotto need a process called "mantecare": when you add butter and cheese, which must be cold (not just parmigiano, even pecorino or other fresh one can be used like stracchino or scquaquerone) to lower the temperature, need to rest in the closed pan, traditionally with a cloth, but lids are good.

[@AlexandruNastase]

Do you have any chance to share a playlist with the music you use in the videos?! i really wanna use it when I'm cooking also, somehow it sets a nice ambiance

[@tammical2362]

Can’t wait to try it. What do you think a good protein option would be for this? And would you serve it on top or on the side? Thank you as always for your videos.

[@anisnihilo9872]

Steak! it just feels right, what with red wine being a commonly paired drink with steak and red wine sauce being a very popular sauce for it, as for where you would serve it i'd say on the side but i think on top would also look good with the right presentation

[@pantherdash9231]

@@anisnihilo9872 How about bone marrow or beef short ribs? Maybe even as a side to veal Osso Bucco!

[@datocco]

[@denniswman]

I'm watching this because I made red wine risotto for a date once, but I only because I ran out of white wine 😅

[@xlajimex]

What can we pair this with other than scallops?

[@nicolaurso6382]

Use some pork sausages

[@MatteoPolpi]

Just a few tips: try to use a copper pot next time! I know, it's expensive, but that's the perfect one for cooking risotto ( but don't use a pan again please :) ). For the salt, just set up the right saltiness in the broth, so rice will adjust consequently. For the soffritto ( the onions at the beginning), personally I skip it, since I don't like the feeling of the little onion pieces between teeth while eating risotto. This habit came up during the wars, because Italy was deeply in poverty and adding onions and other stuff ( sometimes bread) allowed people to " stretch" the dishes. If you want to get something more delicate, just use a vegetable broth, instead of a meat based one. And finally, just try and try and try in order to achieve the perfect consistency, Risotto is to be served " all onda", so don't exaggerate with the grana ( I never heard of someone using mascarpone), otherwise the cheese flavour will cover all the rest of the ingredients! Sorry If I wrote too much ( not to being intended as a critic, remember) , but Risotto for me is not a dish, more like a religion ;) Greetings from Milan, keep cooking!

[@cookingwiththereidstutorial]

Nice 👍

[@sybrenhindriks3597]

Does anyone have any ideas for what you can put in the risotto? I thought maybe about combining it with bolognese or adding sausage to it. Eggplant could also work maybe.

[@TheGreatConstantini]

I have been making risotto for around 45 years but had never made this one. Great video. But I’d like to know which stock you used. Your recipe just says stock. Chicken, veggie, beef, veal?

[@TheGreatConstantini]

Fo-get-a-bout-it! I just made a vegetable stock with Fond de veau with a small amount of tomato bouillon. I rehydrated in French coffee press, a very small amount of Porcini mushrooms, Black trumpet mushrooms ( Craterellus cornucopioides) and several morels...great stock. The rest is my magic. Yes my magic. Boom!

[@larissapsrt]

what kind of stock is this?

[@EGOCOGITOSUM]

"Risotto al Barolo" is a bit different it doesn't involve reducing the whine but just a little bit(just like a regular risotto) and it has a rose pinkish color(not crazy popular in Piemonte). Besides that, your risotto looks bomb!

[@sarahcarolinebrewer]

What do you eat this with.. recommendations? Steak chicken etc? Vegetables? Or just eat it alone?

[@TheGreatConstantini]

Braise some short ribs with carrots. I actually braise a chuck roast until fall apart tender with my favorite recipe from my wife and the break it into small partially shredded pieces and incorporate it right into the risotto.

[@sarahcarolinebrewer]

Excellent! Thank you!

[@dani36122]

Could we use Merlot instead?

[@KLVNAdam]

Would this pare well with the spicy steak sauce recipe? @notanothercookingshow

[@NOTANOTHERCOOKINGSHOW]

The steak without the sauce would be great on top

[@KLVNAdam]

Yeah i figured it would be over kill what sides would you pair with the spicy steak in that case 🤔 this is weird but I was thinking crispy breaded eggplant slices and some mashed potatoes and a salad. Lastly you would only add stock to the spicy sauce to increase it to a 2 person portion not more tomato paste chilis etc? Wouldn’t it be diluted from those flavors if you used the same amount of everything and just extra stock?@notanothercookingshow

[@Semiotichazey]

I love risotto and I believe what you're saying, but when I see it, I can only think of baked beans.
