How to Make Basic Risotto Recipe Jamie Oliver

1. **Prepare the Stock:** Heat 6 cups of vegetable or chicken stock in a saucepan and keep it simmering gently.
2. **Sauté Aromatics:** In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped shallot or small onion and 2 finely chopped celery stalks. Season with a pinch of salt and cook for 3 minutes until softened.
3. **Add Garlic:** Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.
4. **Toast the Rice:** Add 1 ½ cups of Arborio rice to the pan and stir constantly for 2-3 minutes until the grains become translucent.
5. **Deglaze with Wine:** Pour in ½ cup of dry vermouth or white wine, stirring constantly until absorbed.
6. **Add Stock Gradually:** Add 1 ladle of hot stock to the rice, stirring continuously until absorbed. Continue adding stock, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly and ensuring each ladleful is absorbed before adding the next. This will take about 15 minutes.
7. **Check for Doneness:** The rice should be creamy and al dente (slightly firm to the bite). Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
8. **Finish the Risotto:** Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Reserve a little Parmesan for garnish.
9. **Serve Immediately:** Serve your risotto hot, garnished with the remaining Parmesan cheese. Enjoy with a crisp green salad and crusty bread, if desired!
