Risotto Recipes

 

Risotto is a traditional Italian dish made with rice.  It represents one of the noblest and at the same time one of the most common ways of cooking rice in Italy.  It originated in Northwestern Italy, specifically Eastern Piedmont and Western Lombardy, where rice paddies are abundant.  It is one of the pillars of Torinese and Milanese cuisine.

When risotto is cooked, the dry rice is always fried briefly in oil before the broth is added.  Other dishes exist that are similar, but they should not be called "risotto" if the rice is not toasted.
