Risotto Recipe Instructions:
- Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a deep frypan (it is better to use a frypan rather than a saucepan, as the rice has more coverage on the heated pan therefore allowing it to cook better).
- Once the oil has been heated for a couple of minutes, add the rice.
- Let it toast for around 3-5 minutes, then add the entire bottle of champagne.
- Bring to the boil, continuously stirring for around 10 minutes or until the rice starts top thicken and the liquid evaporates.
- In the last 5 minutes add the vegetable broth and the smoked scamorza cheese.
- Make sure to stir continuously with a wooden spoon.
- Take off the heat before the rice becomes too soft.
- Let sit for a few minutes, covered.
- This allows the risotto to become a little thicker and creamier.
