Steps

  • Stir in the rice until coated in butter and add the white wine.
  • Simmer until the wine has evaporated.
  • Add the hot stock gradually, a ladleful at a time, stirring frequently until absorbed.
  • Continue cooking for 20 minutes until rice is creamy but firm, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Place spoonfuls of grated parmesan into a non-stick pan over low heat and flatten into rounds.
  • Flip the crisps once the bottom is golden and cook for another minute.
  • Serve the risotto in bowls topped with the parmesan crisps.
