Number Of Ingredients 11

BASIC RISOTTO
1 c arborio rice
3-4 Tbsp olive oil, divided
1/2 c white wine (optional)
1 onion, chopped
5 c chicken broth
1/4 c grated parmesan cheese (optional)
1 Tbsp butter
1 1/2 c zucchini, diced small
1 1/2 c fresh corn
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. In a small skillet, saute zucchini in a small amount of oil until just tender.
  • 2. Add corn and warm through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Then set aside.
  • 3. Heat 1 - 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy, non-stick 2-quart saucepot. Saute onion in oil until translucent.
  • 4. Add rice and stir until grains are coated with oil.
  • 5. Add wine (or 1/2 cup of broth if you prefer) and stir constantly until liquid is absorbed.
  • 6. Add 1 cup of stock at a time, stirring until liquid is absorbed before adding the next cup. The rice, when done, should be firm with a little bite in the center or al dense. It takes 20 to 30 minutes.
  • 7. Turn off heat. Add parmesan, if desired. Stir until melted.
  • 8. Remove from heat, add butter and stir quickly until melted.
  • 9. Gently stir in the zucchini and corn mixture. Adjust seasoning and serve.

This risotto was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my risotto turned out gummy. I think I stirred it too much. Next time, I will be more careful not to over-stir the rice.

This risotto was a good starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I added some chopped mushrooms and peas, and I used white wine instead of vegetable broth. It turned out great!

Overall, I thought this risotto was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I think there are better risotto recipes out there.

This risotto was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would use less butter and cream next time. The flavors were also a bit overpowering. I think I would use less garlic and onion next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my risotto turned out too soupy. I think I added too much broth. Next time, I will be more careful with the amount of liquid I add.

This risotto was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more salt and pepper next time. The vegetables were also a bit undercooked for my liking.
