Creamy Risotto

I think Risotto is one of the easiest and simplest foods to create. Here is a great recipe.

Pick a variety of rice that has substance. It gives texture and body to the taste. Saute garlic, scallion, 1/2 cup diced mild onion. You may also add a green vegetable such as beans or peas but not too much. Grind a variety of toasted nut such as pumpkin or pine along with basil and create a pesto. Use olive oil to saute the raw rice. Use vegetable stock to cook the rice. After the broth boils, add rice, vegetable and the pesto. Pour some (1/2 cup) dry wine such as Pinot as the rice is cooking. Use parmesan cheese or pecorino romano, stir them into the broth. Add cheese toward the end. Add some salt if needed since cheese has salt. Sprinkle black pepper and stir the mixture well. It should be creamy and wet. You may add some more stock if the finished risotto appears dry. Taste delicious.
