Quick Risotto

When really pressed for time, the following recipe will produce a reasonable semblance of risotto within ten minutes.

Ingredients

  • Stock
  • Butter
  • Arborio or other risotto rice
  • Seasonings, as desired

Instructions

  1. 1
    Place a pot over strong heat and pour in the stock to boil. You will need twice as much stock as the rice to be cooked (e.g. 2 cups of stock for 1 cup of dry rice).
  2. 2
    Place a second pot over strong heat and drop in some butter.
  3. 3
    Once the butter in the first pot has melted, pour in the rice and start sautéing it, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon. The butter will soon start to froth. Extra seasonings can also be added at this point.
  4. 4
    By this time, the stock will have started boiling. Pour it into the pot with the rice (caution: this produces hot steam suddenly), stir well to make sure that no rice has stuck on the inside of the pot, cover the pot, and switch off the heat.
  5. 5
    Leave alone for 5–7 minutes, then serve.
