Cooking perfect risotto may sound a daunting thing at first but with some practice, good easy basic risotto recipe any one can cook perfectly creamy and tender risotto.
In this simple risotto recipe I will give you some basic instructions and tips for your yummy risotto.
Tip 1. Always use simmering stock. Add the hot liquid slowly, one ladleful at a time, while the rice is stirred constantly, the stock must be absorbed after each addition before more is added. This will released the starch from the rice, and make the risotto creamy.
Tip 2. Before adding the hot stock, cook the rice in the butter until the grains look glassy.

The rice should be cooked after 20 minutes.
