Risotto: the creamy, indulgent Italian dish that has captivated taste buds and intrigued chefs for centuries. With its velvety texture and rich flavors, it's no wonder that so many people around the world have fallen in love with this deceptively simple dish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But who wants to stand over the stove stirring constantly to get that perfect starchy consistency? Not me, especially after discovering a new method of making that creates an unbelievably creamy Risotto with minimal stirring time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on to learn the simple trick that will up your Risotto cooking game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"risotto<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have tried 3 or 4 different ways of making risotto, including traditional, in the pressure cooker<\/a> and even baking it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This method beats them all for both ease and creaminess. Yes, even traditional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps for Low Stir Risotto<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The steps for this method may seem counter intuitive if you've made risotto by standing over the pot, stirring every few minutes to release the starch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps for the low stir method:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. add rice to stock\/wine combo and swish for 15 seconds then strain<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. toast wet rice with some olive oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. add 4 cups of the starchy stock\/wine combo and simmer for 20 minutes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. add remaining cup of liquid plus cheese and serve<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The key is in the first step. By rinsing the rice with the stock, you put the starch that is already on the outside of the rice into the cooking liquid from the start. More starch is released while it simmers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    20 minutes you just gained back in your day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
