Notes

Use a white wine you like to drink (avoid products labeled “cooking wine” like the plague. Basically, if you don’t like the wine you use your cooking, you won’t like the end product!
Don’t worry about precise measurements when pouring in the stock. It just needs to basically cover the surface of the rice
Simmer gently – a rapid boil isn’t what we’re looking for here
Use hot stock!! The heat helps maintain the starch content of the rice
Stir REGULARLY but not CONSTANTLY

What to do with leftovers

Ha!! I usually make a double batch, but 1 batch doesn’t leave me with much left over!! This risotto reheats beautifully, so you can pack it to take to work for lunch, or reheat it for a quick side with another meal later in the week.
I HAVE frozen it before, but it is best eaten within a few days right out of the fridge.
