Yeah that looks bangin bro. The uncooked comment earlier was ribbing Luv for thinking my stage 2 pic of the risotto was the finished article.
Errr, knob of melted butter? It's ok mate, we've done this before. The above is after the soffritto by the way.
No mate, before the butter goes in. When you've fried off an onion, then add in the rice before any wine or stock goes in. It turns the rice translucent. I fry it off in Olive oil, but I suppose you could use butter too.
Just onion? Soffritto should have garlic and celery as well. Even finely chopped carrot. Definitely butter by the way.
To be fair, I didn’t spot the mushrooms. @Quesadaad could have shredded cardboard and slapped it on his plate and I wouldn’t know the difference.
I use Onion, ginger and chopped celery. I add the garlic later as I like to fry off my rice until it goes translucent and I don't want to burn the Garlic, as it makes it go bitter. I wouldn't fry that in butter alone as the butter will split and burn. Might add some to the olive oil next time though.
