Steps:
- Cut the base off of the fennel bulbs, and cut a cone shape into the base to remove the core. Slice the fennel vertically (lengthwise) into 1/4 inch thick slices.
- Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed stock pot over medium heat. Cook onions and fennel in butter for 2 minutes. Stir in the rice; cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted. Stir in 1 cup vegetable broth; continue stirring until liquid is almost completely absorbed. Repeat this process with remaining broth, stirring constantly. Incorporating the broth should take 15 to 20 minutes in all.
- Stir in cream, 3 tablespoons Parmesan and parsley, and cook until rice is done and risotto is thick and creamy. Season to taste with black pepper. Divide risotto among 6 bowls, and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

FENNEL AND BROAD BEAN RISOTTO
My boyfriend's aunt taught me to make risotto so this recipe is inspired by her. You really need to stand by the pot all the time for this so make sure to prepare everything before you start. I don't like it too rich so I add the cheese myself after serving, but if you like it creamy add the cheese while in the pot and stir well.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your risotto. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and broth, and choose high-quality rice.
- Toast the rice: Toasting the rice before cooking it helps to develop its flavor and prevent it from sticking together.
- Add the liquid gradually: Don't add all of the liquid at once. Instead, add it gradually, stirring constantly. This will help the rice to absorb the liquid evenly and prevent it from becoming too soupy.
- Stir frequently: Stirring the risotto frequently will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and will also help to create a creamy texture.
- Season to taste: Taste the risotto as you cook it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or other herbs and spices.
- Let the risotto rest before serving: Once the risotto is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the rice to absorb any remaining liquid and will also make it easier to handle.
Conclusion:
Risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. By following these tips, you can make a perfect risotto every time. So experiment with different flavors and ingredients to create your own unique risotto recipes.
