Risotto recipes

Risotto is a traditional northern Italian dish where rice is simmered in stock until it reaches a rich, creamy consistency. Risotto can be served plain, incorporated with other ingredients and flavours or simply used as a bed for some cooked meat or vegetables. In Britain, the term ‘risotto rice’ usually refers to a Arborio rice, although there are a variety of other short grain rices commonly used across Italy.

Theo Randall’s autumnal Chestnut risotto is enhanced with a dash of brandy, while Nigel Mendham’s Vegetarian risotto recipe is packed with vibrant ingredients including blue cheese and butternut squash.
