Treat your ingredients with care...
- Arborio rice — Use Arborio rice specifically for its high starch content, which gives risotto its creamy texture.
- Vegetable broth — Opt for a high-quality vegetable broth to enhance the flavors of the dish.
- Parmesan cheese — Grate the Parmesan cheese just before adding it to the risotto for maximum freshness and flavor.
- Fresh herbs — Use fresh herbs as a garnish to add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
Tips & Tricks
- To achieve a creamy texture, stir the risotto constantly while adding the broth gradually.
- Experiment with different vegetable combinations, such as roasted butternut squash or sautéed mushrooms, to add depth to the dish.
- For a burst of freshness, squeeze a bit of lemon juice over the risotto just before serving.
- If you prefer a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with vegetable stock.
- Don't overcook the risotto; it should have a slight bite to it.
Serving advice
Serve the Nouvelle Cuisine Risotto as a main course accompanied by a side salad or roasted vegetables. It can also be served as a side dish alongside grilled fish or chicken for a complete meal.
Presentation advice
Create an elegant presentation by using a ring mold to shape the risotto into a neat circle on the plate. Garnish with fresh herbs and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for a visually appealing dish.
