Before you start. This meal will take 40-45 minutes to prepare. Despite the extra time, we think its the perfect meal, warm, filling and loaded with tasty goodness. Arborio rice is an Italian short-grain variety when cooked, releases starches to become creamy whilst still retaining some bite. A tasty result of this cooking behaviour is that the rice will absorb flavours around it and create a delicious silky texture.

4 Finish Risotto

Add the arborio rice, stirring for 2 minutes or until the grains of rice appear glossy. Add white wine and cook, stirring, 1-2 minutes or until wine has been absorbed. Add 12 cup stock to rice and stir until the liquid is completely absorbed before adding more. Continue adding 12 cup at a time for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender yet firm to the bite.

Step 5

5 Toast Pine Nuts

While risotto is cooking, place pine nuts in a pan over low-medium heat. Toast until fragrant and golden brown, stirring continuously, 1-2 minutes. Remove from pan.
