Nigella Lawson's Lemon Risotto | Nigella Bites

[@doughmestic-bliss]

"Now in theory this would be enough for supper for 2, in practice I rather feel .... one." Wise words to live by. I'm a firm believer in Nigella's ideas on portion control, which is basically none whatsoever.

[@TheSoonamee]

she's an inspiration

[@gordeees]

I agree!! I love her. However, I don't know how she's not as big as a house with all she eats?? I know I am. LOL.

[@anticalgary]

Lemon seeds! Also adding an egg? Nope

[@annoldham3018]

My mum would say "for 2 if one doesn't want any!"😁

[@przystojnyjakgreyodwaznyja7130]

300grams of uncooked rice would be 600-700 grams minimum after Cooking (i think even 900g) this would be for 4 persons… and calories of this plate is like 2500-3000 kcal… well good luck for one person 😂

[@robmaxwell189]

No one captures the full sensual experience of cooking like Nigela. I love that she tucks into the big bowl of risotto with a serving spoon.

"Ritual disemboweling of the lemon" is something I've never heard but I will never refer to juicing a lemon as anything else.

[@joa7302]

I think I’ve made this recipe for at least 12 years, and I still make it and love it ! Best risotto ever !

[@sweetgrasshopper]

I love lemon and want to try it too. Will save the egg white for meringue.

[@silvanodelazzari8522]

I am Italian from northern Italy so I love risotto; risotto is a typical dish from the north. Believe me if I tell you that an excellent risotto can be made with a pressure cooker: eight minutes from the hiss and your risotto is ready. Obviously you have to whisk it with butter and Parmesan cheese or Grana padano. After that let it rest, covered, for two or three minutes. The variety of rice used is very important. Never use a parboiled one! For the risotto the best is the Carnaroli variety, but Rome and Vialone nano are also good. Enjoy your meal.

[@GeorgiaAndrea]

How about slow cooker?

[@silvanodelazzari8522]

@@GeorgiaAndrea Sorry, I don't know. Never used that system.

[@benjaminkhoury304]

How interesting!

[@sunspot42]

Agree, pressure cookers make the best risotto with the least effort. Grains remain light and fluffy, with a lovely creaminess enveloping them. No constant stirring, much less effort.

[@silvanodelazzari8522]

[@itimk0]

Nigellas ideology on portions is quite refreshing in a world where women are consistently taught and preaching the idea of "cheating" on a diet or "guilty food pleasures" for totally normal meals.

[@Iceis_Phoenix]

But have you ever watched her show? She does not give big portions at all. In fact they are very small.

[@dorothyzbornak9974]

Ah yes, the glory days of Nigella before the Food Network got a hold of her and apparently insisted that she smile at the camera throughout the entire episode. It changed everything. Imagine having the most delicious champagne and then diluting it with water. 😒

A very very good risotto is the "risotto alla milanese" (with saffron), an excellent dish from Milan.

[@silvanodelazzari8522]

TheRenaissance I know

[@kennethhwang3425]

silvano de lazzari Had a chance to taste that recipe, which was simply divine. But I won’t make any attempt anytime soon, solely due to saffron’s price.

[@silvanodelazzari8522]

kenneth hwang True: saffron is very expensive, but you need a very little quantity: a point of a knife.

[@Blessed-abc]

Marion Edney sounds delicious 😋

[@disdonc6012]

Also I have never managed to cook 100g Risotto with only 3.5 dl of stock. For me it's 4.5-5 dl per 100g. I don't know how everyone seems to be able to use only so little stock. Also I wonder how anyone can make a risotto in 17 minutes. Mine always takes at least! 19-20 minutes and even more although I have my pan on high heat.

[@jamesheath7601]

3:34 😍

[@disdonc6.klasse549]

Normally I use 1.8 litres for 400g of rice. Most of the time I need at least 1.5 litres of these. And when you make smaller portions, I think, you need even more liquid, so about 8-9dl for 100g of rice. That's because if you use such small portions in a quite big pan, the liquid evaporates much more quickly. I've never understood how you should be able to make risotto using such a low ratio of rice to liquid.

[@sunnyjohn552]

Wow wonderful

Oil doesn't stop butter from burning, as the smoke point of literally every cooking oil and animal fat is higher than that of unclarified butter. It's the water that stops unclarified butter from burning (such as the water in the shallots or stock). Great recipe though. Looks delicious.
