Cooking Tips

  • Use homemade chicken broth for the best flavor, but store-bought broth works well too.
  • Stir the risotto frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the broth gradually and allow it to be absorbed before adding more to achieve the perfect creamy consistency.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or asparagus for extra flavor and texture.
  • Leftover risotto can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Storage and Serving

  • Leftover risotto can be reheated in a saucepan with a splash of broth or water to restore its creamy texture.
  • Serve the risotto as a main course with a side salad or as a side dish alongside grilled chicken or fish.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for added freshness and flavor.
