Risotto is an icon of northern Italian cuisine, stemming from the Mediterranean climate's suitability for growing short-grain rice after it was introduced to the country in the Middle Ages. The rice used for a risotto should be semi-rounded, short-grain Italian rice; attributes perfectly suited to slow cooking, enabling the grains to slowly absorb the flavour of the liquid and release starch.

To begin with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can have italian risotto using 13 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Italian Risotto:
  1. Make ready 1/4 cup butter
  2. Take 1 medium onion, chopped
  3. Prepare 1 stalk celery, very finely chopped
  4. Get 2 cloves garlic, minced or mashed
  5. Make ready 1 cup Arborio rice (or uncooked white rice)
  6. Take 1 tbs olive oil
  7. Prepare 1/2 cup dry white wine
  8. Take 3.5 cups vegetable broth (hot)
  9. Make ready 1/4 tsp salt
  10. Take 1/4 tsp pepper
  11. Make ready 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  12. Prepare 3/4 cup frozen peas, (completely thawed)
  13. Take 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Add white wine and let it evaporate. Pour in the hot broth a little at a time, stirring occasionally. Risotto textures can range from sticky solid portions to puddles of rice suspended in sauce. Authentic Italian risotto however, is creamy rather than runny, al dente ("to the teeth", each grain of rice slightly firm to the bite) and all'onda ("with waves", with a ripple effect across the surface when wobbled).

Steps to make Italian Risotto:
  1. Have all ingredients prepared, measured, and ready to use. Like they say, risotto waits for no one.
  2. Heat butter in a medium sauce pan on medium heat. When foam subsides, add onion and celery, sauté until onion is soft, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  3. Stir in rice; add a bit of olive oil, sauté for 2-3 minutes. Keep stirring until slightly toasted.
  4. Add the wine and stir this a few times. Heat until the liquid is almost evaporated. [Add finely chopped celery leaves]
  5. Add 1 cup of the hot broth (microwave) into the rice mixture and stir. Add the salt & pepper and thyme. Stir often until liquid is absorbed.
  6. Add more broth each time in stages by one (1) cup, stirring routinely, just when the broth is absorbed, add the next, until all (but 1/2 cup) is used. Cooking time varies, ~ 30-40 minutes.
  7. With rice now just tender, add the peas, and mix. Remove from heat and add the parmesan cheese and mix thoroughly.
  8. Transfer the creamy rice to a bowl or plates, and enjoy.
  9. [Use the 1/2 cup broth for next day leftover heating]

Risotto textures can range from sticky solid portions to puddles of rice suspended in sauce. Authentic Italian risotto however, is creamy rather than runny, al dente ("to the teeth", each grain of rice slightly firm to the bite) and all'onda ("with waves", with a ripple effect across the surface when wobbled). This is my version of the great Italian classic, and the best accompaniment of all to Ossobuco. You can also watch how to make this recipe in our Cookery School Video just click the image to play.
