Hi you fantastic Food Tube people, today I am going to show you how to make a fantastic
risotto.
I'm going to show you how to make three of my favourite in this video.
First of all, let me show you how to make a basic risotto which is risotto bianco.
Bianco is a word which is white.
Because you use the fantastic white rice.
So simple to make.
it is incredible.
You need half onion, you chop very, very fine, for two people you sue 25grams of butter.
Little touch of olive oil, about half a tablespoon.
Stir it.
When it's almost melted add the half onions and sweat.
Okay, one fingers of celery, the perfect measurement.
Very, very fine, sweat it all up.
Come on!
You need about 100grams per persons of rice.
You're only going to use risotto rice.
Can you hear the crackling?
The rice is cry for something else.
So we have a fantastic wine, white wine, the wine you drink it is the wine you use.
Hallelujah.
Now its the time to add a very good stock.

You always have to stir the risotto, you make sure it's not too wet but also you make sure,
not too dry!

it or learn how to make three more of my favourite risottos.

So risotto bianco, it's almost ready, one more spoon and a bit of stock inside.
Look at that, can you see that creaminess?!
Mmm, it's perfect, then you are inside about two tablespoons of parmesan and then about
20 grams of butter, stir it.
You cover and you keep that on for about three minutes.
Ready.
Yes!
The butter give it a creaminess and the Parmesans give it a bit of a saltiness a cheesy flavour.
I like to drizzle a bit of olive oil.
And this is the risotto bianco, which is fantastic to eat as it is and I love it.

For about one or two people you need about three mushrooms, wild mushrooms they're fantastico.
Now here, I've got the basic of the risotto bianco.
If you want to see me make this, click on the picture of the rice.
So here we need about 20 gram of fantastic dried mushrooms that once dehydrated they
get the full flavour inside.
You put them inside some warm water for about half hour.
Here you have oyster mushrooms, orange flavour which are called chanterelle, little porcini.
You roughly chop the mushrooms.
You add mushrooms inside.
And let's not forget four or five little bunch of thyme.
Then mix it, you want to get the full flavour, the stock which is hot you keep stirring it
then when I've dehydrated the mushrooms I'm going to use about half cup of the fantastic
water.
Every time the stock goes down you add more little stock.
Bring to boiling point, bring down and simmer it.
Keep stirring for about another 10 minutes.
It's raining, fantastic, I'm starting to get so wet!
I love it.
Risottos is cooked for about another 10 minutes, which is all together about 20 minutes.
So I switch the gas off, I add about a knob of butter inside.
Parmesan.
Parmesan, inside here!
One and half two tablespoons.
I've never cooked in a storm like this.
Cover for about three minutes.
no more than that!
Can I come in?
Course you can.

Grated over Parmesans, drizzle of olive oil.
And this is a special risotto.
