What is Risotto?
Risotto is a type of rice dish that originated in Italy. It is usually made with Arborio rice and then cooked in a broth to produce a creamy consistency.
As risotto is a dish that originated in Italy, it can be considered an Italian food. The method of cooking risotto differs from country to country, but the basic idea remains the same – rice cooked with broth until it becomes creamy and soft.
The word risotto means ‘rice boiled again’ which refers to the process of adding more broth to the rice after it has been boiled for the first time.
