This is a wonderfully easy delicious risotto. No more stirring forever for me.
Could I make the above quantity in my 6 litre Tefal pressure cooker?
With everything pre prepped, this was very quick to get to the table. I used the wine & the mix looked a bit wet after cooking, however a few turns with a large spoon & adding lots of parmesan & it was perfect. Would feed at least 8 people as a side or starter.
