Risotto Recipe
Leerdammer, Vegetable and Bacon Risotto – A delicious warming recipe, perfect for any time of the year. The Leerdammer really sets it off!
Cheesy Leek Risotto – Deliciously creamy and flavorful with a spicy twist.
Roasted Garlic Risotto – This recipe is good and the type of food that sticks to your bones.
Steak with Wild Mushroom Barley Risotto – This is my favorite discovery and one of the best I’ve ever made. And it’s healthy to boot!
Carrot Ball Risotto – A symphony of leftovers: carrot arancini with homemade tongue pastrami inside.
Forget the Stove Risotto – Why stir for hours when the oven can do the work? It’s baked.
Tomato Risotto Recipe – This version has a decidedly Indian sensibility.
Risotto Milanese – This is made with wine, chicken broth, onions, garlic and saffron. Its simple, creamy oh so scrumptious.
What is Risotto?
Are you wondering what is Risotto? Well, it’s an Italian rice dish. It is made by briefly sauteing the rice in olive oil or butter (often with some onion), then adding a little bit of stock, stirring almost constantly until the rice absorbs the stock, then adding a bit more stock, stirring, adding, stirring, adding until its done. It usually takes between 20 and 30 minutes of stirring.
When its done, the rice is cooked through and bound in a wonderful creamy sauce that is made as the starch leaches out of the rice grains and combines with the stock.

I have been making risotto for years and lately with the high cost of things at the market I have been making it more often. I love arborio rice, but to tell the truth I make risotto with just about any kind of rice I can find. I never thought of making it in the oven though, seems almost like a casserole. I always have my arm falling off from all the stirring! I am going to try this recipe at home tonight, but I think I am going to use some italian sausage, crimini’s and chicken in the mix and see what happens.
excellent post and really good risotto recipes!
Thank You!
