Risotto is not difficult to make, but some people are put off by the constant stirring required to achieve the creamy consistency. But, I am here to tell you that doesn't need to be the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Low Stir Risotto Method<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The trick to easy creamy risotto is to wash off the starch from the rice into the cooking liquid before <\/strong>cooking instead of slowly as you cook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just combine the stock and wine, add the Arborio rice and stir for a few seconds. Watch as the liquid gets cloudy with the starch from the rice. Strain the rice, saving that precious liquid and proceed to toast the rice and leeks (in this case). Then add most of the liquid, cover and simmer. Stir a few more times while cooking and you still get delicious results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No standing over the stove for 20 minutes adding a little liquid at a time and stir stir stirring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
