Risoto should be velvety and creamy like porridge, never clumpy. My homemade chicken stock, four cups, reduced to a simmer. Two shallots, minced. Two garlic cloves, minced. Straight side 12-in sauté pan. Size matters. Medium heat. 3 tablespoons unsalted butter. Add the shellot. There’s your salt. Pepper. Sauté. 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic about 30 seconds. Barnaroli or boreo rice. One and 13 cup. Toast the rice 1 to 2 minutes. Half a cup Chardonnay. 30 seconds. Make it a good one. Ladle in some chicken stock. Medium low heat. This is a gentle slow process. Don’t walk away. Keep stirring. My freshly roasted pumpkin puree. Add the pumpkin. You want to add just enough stock so all the rice is covered but not swimming. A little bit at a time. Keep stirring. Once it drinks in the stock, add a little more. Six to eight fresh beige leaves. See the texture right here? Time to add more stock. Just enough to evenly coat and slowly release the starch. Don’t rush it. Relax. It’ll take about 25 to 30 minutes. Be patient. Produce the last round of stock by half. Keep stirring. Remove the sage. At the end, hit it. Push your salt. This is the consistency you want right here. Set the heat. 2 tablespoons cold mascapony. 2 tablespoons cold. Unsalted butter. Parmesan reano. Serve immediately. Chives because you’re fancy. Fried sage because you’re extra fancy. Look
