Instead of standing over the stove for a boring twenty-five minutes stirring in broth, you can make a perfect risotto in the proper sequence, in exactly six minutes with a pressure cooker. No stirring necessary. Check out Lorna Sass’s three books on pressure cookery. That’s also how European cooks do it.
Mmm that looks delicious. Great pictures! I actually just made a video on risotto at my comedy cooking blog, funny side up. You should check it out when you have a second!
Risotto with radicchio + mozzarella was one of the only things one of my old (Italian) flatmates could make – but it was great. She used red wine and didn’t add raisins. So delicious.

Yum.
And I’ve never made risotto cakes, so I’d love to see them/hear about them!

Risotto is on my list of things to try. I have been wanting to do either mushroom or parm (or both!)
Thanks for sharing this dish :)

Nice! I just made a version of this with red wine, radicchio, and smoked mozzarella. Adding raisins is a really interesting variation.

I bet the slightly-bitter radicchio and mozzarella is amazing! I love making risotto, it is one of my go-to dinner party meals.
