Sizzling Europe

A well known traditional Italian dish, risotto is made of rice like Arborio, Carnaroli and Vialone Nano. It is considered as among the usual ways in cooking rice in the country. The dish originated in North Italy and it is regarded as one of the pillars of the Milanese cuisine.

           It is easy to prepare that is why a lot of Italians are enticed to prepare the dish in various occasions. The rice is cooked in butter or oil and when the rice is already coated with the butter or oil, it then starts to turn translucent. A broth is added, one ladle at a time. Well cooked risotto will certainly bring out the creaminess of the starch of the rice.

           To be able to get the rich creaminess of the dish, the rice must be stirred until the molecules of the cooked starch are loosened just at the outside of the rice grains. After getting a creamy risotto, a mantecatura of lumps of delicious cold butter and grated parmesan cheese are then added before the dish is served.
