How to prepare risotto in 3 ways

Risotto is an easy and quick way to make a delicious lunch or dinner. See how to make risotto with zucchini, peas and mushrooms. You will also learn how to prepare a base for a risotto with any addition and how to prepare a risotto from a ready-made mixture for the pan.

How to prepare a risotto?

• Prepare 700 ml of vegetable stock
• Dice the onion and garlic into small cubes
• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion first, then the garlic
• Add the rice and mix well so that all the rice is covered with oil. Fry for a couple of minutes.
• Add the broth in portions of about 150-200ml and stir constantly. The rice is to be gently boiled in the broth all the time.
• When you have used 2/3 of the broth, add your favorite additive. Keep stirring and adding the broth until finished.
• Finally, add a solid batch of Parmesan or yeast flakes

Additions to risotto:

• Pea risotto: blend 225 peas with a tablespoon of water and add to the rice after 2/3 of the broth has been absorbed
• Zucchini risotto: grate 225g of zucchini on large mesh graters and add to the rice after 2/3 of the broth has been absorbed

Tips:

• If you are preparing risotto for the first time, it is worth having a slightly larger stock of broth, e.g. 1 liter.
• Set the pan temperature so that the rice does not stick to the stirring process. The rice is supposed to mix easily.
• Add enough broth so as not to interrupt cooking. There can't be too much of it.
