Yes, sometimes things take our time, which is sometimes precious. But that doesn’t mean they’re difficult. I mean, a monkey can fold laundry. Or stir risotto.

Making risotto is easy and satisfying–give it a shot. Unapprove | Reply | Quick Edit | Edit | History | Spam | Trash Jill jillhough.comx jill@jillhough.com 73.162.93.78 In reply to Susan | LunaCafe. Belated thanks for stopping by, Susan, and for finding the task of stirring one to appreciate instead of avoid! One of these days, I’ll have to try an alternate method, if only to confirm my suspicions. Meanwhile, as you say, the method I have is perfectly satisfying. :) Unapprove | Reply | Quick Edit | Edit | History | Spam | Trash Lily Lau lazypenguins.comx itsinenglish@gmail.com 81.34.74.235 I’d love to know how to prepare a risotto at home! Thanks for sharing this recipe, Jill! :D Unapprove | Reply | Quick Edit | Edit | History | Spam | Trash Susan | LunaCafe thelunacafe.comx smsb@thelunacafe.com 71.237.162.129 I too have been running into all those “alternative” ways of making risotto lately. Stirring risotto is such an enjoyable activity that I can’t imagine why all the fuss about it. It’s the simplest meal n the world and way less cleanup than boiling pasta for instance. If the web is any proof however, it’s rarely done right. As you say, there is supposed to be a creamy sauce.That’s the hallmark of risotto. Bravo for setting the record straight. :-) Unapprove | Reply | Quick Edit | Edit | History | Spam | Trash Jill jillhough.comx jill@jillhough.com 73.162.93.78 In reply to Katherine. Well, Katherine, I totally admit I’ve never tried the crockpot version, so I guess if I’m going to be a smartypants about risotto, I ought to do it some time! Funny about your first risotto experience–thanks for sharing!
