"Continuing to heat Until the rice is complete, But it's not yet time to eat This tasty slow-cooked treat, First we need to add a little something savory and a little something sweet."
I love making risotto, its one of those dishes that when you stand there continually stirring it you are able to kinda zone out while doing it... I usually make mine with mushrooms shallots and chives. I love the slow n painful method of adding in tiny amounts of liquid at a time while continually stirring because it gets such a great texture. I really want a pressure cooker too!
I read an experiment a while back (can't remember who did it) where they determined that the only part of the stirring that matters is the end, where you just need to stir the ever-loving crap out of it to knock some starch off into the sauce for that perfect risotto texture. They settled on an oven-based method where you add all the liquid up front, but this was before the electric pressure cookers got popular. One thing they did find made a difference was to use a proper wooden risotto spoon with a hole in it; it apparently helped with that final mixing step.
I've been an Executive Chef for 12 years and never have I seen that pressure cooker risotto technique. Awesome! BWB is far and away the best cooking/food channel. Keep it up!
Jace Roberts The funny thing about me is my father's side is Italian, but no one believes me when I say I am because I have ginger hair but tan (ish) skin with dark brown almost black eyes. And I can verify all that you said here. Another thing is meatloaf (which I don't think is Italian). My dad makes it a certain way that ends up with a nice cooked crust on it but nice and juicy inside, my mom makes it so it falls apart, my sister makes it with bleu cheese dressing (HIGHLY reccommend) and it tastes like heaven. It's like that, but with the entire Italian cuisine.
I worked with an Italian in one of the restaurants I've worked at, who would go nuts over the way we cooked spaghetti every freaking time. And I'd be like, "There's more than one way to cook spaghetti, I ALREADY KNOW that this isn't the "traditional" way, but that's how the boss wants it done, so don't blow up at ME about it." This was like every. single. time. And though meatloaf is typically considered to be of German and Scandinavian origin, it actually originated in Rome because they would mince the remainders of the roasts that rich people ate and cook it in a loaf for their slaves or servants, but it became popularized among the upper class around 5 A.D.. So, since it originated in Rome, it is...kind of... Italian. But don't tell any Italians I said that. They'd probably kill me.
As a Sicilian I love that he made arancini (small oranges) out of the left over risotto. Though to be traditional, caciocavallo cheese should be used as the cheese in the center and regular bread crumbs for the coating. Also a few sprigs of saffron should be added while cooking the risotto for the arancini to make the color of the rice a soft yellow. Other than that im glad to see it!
I forgot to add that is for a cheese arancini. For a traditional one it should be filled with a bolognese or ragù (meat sauce) with peas, carrots, celery and caciocavallo cheese
Squash is usually too sweet for me, so I threw in some garlic cloves to roast under it, peeled them and blended into the puree. It added a nice punch to contrast the sweetness. Omitted the maple syrup, added a drop of lemon juice at the end and some butter. It was geeewd
As someone who is working on getting better at cooking, I really appreciate those shots of when something isn't quite right and needs adjusted. I think they're underrated and are actually quite educational.
This video inspired me to step out of my comfort zone, first time making risotto and first time working with butternut squash. Went over fantasticly with my dinner guests thanks for the simple to follow and fun to watch content you create.
I just made the more traditional (second risotto) and I'm absolutely blown away. It's so delicious! I haven't eaten anything so good in my entire life. It was so worth it making my own chicken stock and slow cooking the rice. Absolutely speechless.
How to make Risotto Ingredients: (Metallica playing in the background when cooking) -plane bullets -blood of victims -group of men that dress like gay strippers(and two gay guys if wanted) -clothing from hot topic
I'm so glad to see you do this in a pressure cooker. I got an Instant Pot for Christmas and the first thing I made in it was this awesome risotto dish that was in the official recipe book I got. I'd never made the stuff until then.
As a Sicilian, I respect and love you even more when you said “Arancini” instead of “Arancine”, you said it the right and original way. Also Arancini are classically filled with Ragù, mozzarella and peas(if they were not added in the Ragù) sometimes with also some boiled eggs. Also, if you want to make it like this, you could insert some chunks of meat instead of the other kind of meat, the “chopped” one from the supermarket, sorry I’m Sicilian so I’m not perfect with my English. But anyways, there are many ways of making Arancini there’s also butter arancini(put butter in rice or inside the arancini or...both...then add peas, prosciutto cotto(chopped ham bits from the entire block of it, not the sliced ham) and a melty cheese or mozzarella and maybe the most simple of them all: spinach made with cooked spinach with garlic, if you want, and melty cheese here aswell, you could also add ricotta. These were some tips, Im sorry if I annoyed you, have a great day and a great life to you Babish and to everybody!
Samantha Bree its pronounced as Andrew says in the video, I forgot to mention my favourite one which is the pistachio one made with : pistachios pesto, bits of speck or roasted ham and some good cheese.
not to start the flame, but at least try to specify that the pronunciation and the "gender" depends by the areas of the island, there is not one true version of the name, because these are simply different depending by the area you make them. In the western part of Sicily, we call them arancine (f), they have a round shape if made "alla carne" (with a meat based sauce) and a more oval shape if "al burro" (with cheese like caciocavallo, ham and a bit of bechamel to keep); Arancini (m) are from the eastern part of the island and those alla carne are made with a cone shape. One particular thing to keep in mind is that you have to cook the rice with saffron, to give its typical colour and parfume.
Tried this ourselves and I have to say it turned out great. Two boxes and 44 straight minutes of stirring later, we had a very, very delicious and FILLING meal.
you could also add some saffron powder to the risotto before or after cooking with the pressure cooker for a cool yellow color. my grandma and my mom do this and it adds a splash of color and a slight taste of saffron
"Let's get down to basics And prepare more buns Did they send me dozens, when I asked for tons? They're the thinnest patties I've beget The cheese won't set before we're through Somehow I'll make burgers out of you!"

Haha, right? I don't get why people can't just chill out about the "purity" of cuisine. If some dude on UA-cam is making a dish different than someone's grandma, well, that doesn't harm anyone's ability to keep doing it grandma's way, does it?
risotto making is a precise science, not tradition grandma bullshit, based on temperature manipulation, the reason you toast the rice is to seal in the starches. once the rice goes above 80C you must not let it go below that for the entire cooking process. Just at the end out of the fire, you add parmesan and preferably cold butter to bring the temperature below 80, so the rice releases the starches all at once and make it creamy and silky without being heavy with crap like cream and friends. Acidity helps this final step, so a burre blanc or acidic butter brings it to a whole now level besides this and the quality of the stock (not storebought please) all the rest is not important using or not using wine the type of cheese or butter onions not onions its really not important
I made the pressure cooker risotto tonight but added chicken, mushrooms, bacon and thyme. It was delicious! Even my husband who's not eaten much risotto in his life thought it was delicious. Thanks Babish xoxo
It's pretty well known from what I'm aware of, it just depends on what the chef's been informed about. Just last month I saw a video on making the best oyster po'boys and both of the chefs on cam not only went into depth on why they prefer this method but also their surprise at how many other chefs can miss such an important detail of food preparation. Not to diss Babish or anything but I feel like there's a few things he missed by not attending culinary school, and he has commented on this in a few other videos.
Just tried roasted butternut squash seeds (in olive oil, cayenne pepper and cumin), spring onions/ scallions and toasted pine nuts as the topping for the butternut squash risotto instead of bacon and it worked really well!
A good aranchini filling is fried onions with some ground meat by choice, seasoned with some aromatic seasonings, a spoon of that on the rice and a piece of melty cheese and it becomes awesome. You cal also put turmeric in the rice to give it that traditional yellow look and also gives a nice taste
Northern Italian amateur chef checking in. You get the Italian seal of approval for your butternut squash risotto...it sounds delish... However, since this is Basics with babish, I would have added one of the best characteristics of Risotto. Risotto is a blank canvas and if you obey a few "basic" principles you can make it your own special creature every time you decide to cook it. I.e. You need a fat base ( oil for fish and vegetable risotti, butter for more meaty or creami risotti) you need diced onion to saute in your fat base. you need to "toast" the rice in the Saute onion and fat before adding any water When the rice is nice and shiny you need to " sfumare" with wine you need the broth and the stirring. And at the end the most important and satisfying part"Mantecare" with cheese and butter , stir them in, turn off the heat and let it mantecare for a few minutes. With these basics you can create your own risotto! and the possibilities are endless!
Unknown Blogger You can play around with white grape juice, white wine vinegar and maybe a little water until you get it just right, or use straight white grape juice and omit the maple syrup.
If you don't have any wine at all don't use anything else. Just cook it with the chicken stock it won't be as good but its still be amazing! Don't sweat it
Thanks for showing us this. I've been making risotto for many years but this moist version is great and a lot easier to eat than the sticky version I've been making.

Hi
Hi
Watching this as I’m making risotto! It’s my second time watching this video and it’s definitely helped me make better risotto, thanks! Great video!
It’s funny how he went from all professional to “were gonna use a metric fuck ton of cheese”😂
1:22
But what about that plain risotto from earlier, Andy?
Lawrence Calablaster He said this just as I scrolled past your comment, so kudos on that two-year set up

A good aranchini filling is fried onions with some ground meat by choice, seasoned with some aromatic seasonings, a spoon of that on the rice and a piece of melty cheese and it becomes awesome. You cal also put turmeric in the rice to give it that traditional yellow look and also gives a nice taste
so early it's still 360p! :D love your videos! thanks Babish!
noxater same here 360p for life
noxater Why is mine only on 1080p lol
It's so early it's in his old kitchen =D
Add some roasted red bell pepper and crumbled Italian sausage to the arancini. You won’t be disappointed!
Northern Italian amateur chef checking in. You get the Italian seal of approval for your butternut squash risotto...it sounds delish...
However, since this is Basics with babish, I would have added one of the best characteristics of Risotto. Risotto is a blank canvas and if you obey a few "basic" principles you can make it your own special creature every time you decide to cook it.
I.e.
You need a fat base ( oil for fish and vegetable risotti, butter for more meaty or creami risotti)
you need diced onion to saute in your fat base.
you need to "toast" the rice in the Saute onion and fat before adding any water
When the rice is nice and shiny you need to " sfumare" with wine
you need the broth and the stirring.
And at the end the most important and satisfying part"Mantecare" with cheese and butter , stir them in, turn off the heat and let it mantecare for a few minutes.
With these basics you can create your own risotto! and the possibilities are endless!
take a shot every time he said “like so” lol
Fun fact: risotto was here everytime, he is just using metallica
Gordon Ramsay: BABISH!!!!
Babish: Yes chef??
(Suspenseful music)
Gordon Ramsay: Risotto's cooked perfectly! SERVICE please!!
Hey, if you don't have any liquor or you can't used alchohol substances, what can I use to replace the white wine?
Unknown Blogger You can play around with white grape juice, white wine vinegar and maybe a little water until you get it just right, or use straight white grape juice and omit the maple syrup.
If you don't have any wine at all don't use anything else. Just cook it with the chicken stock it won't be as good but its still be amazing! Don't sweat it
The Wail of a Dying Coyote I'm a Muslim.
Unknown Blogger would it count as alcohol if cooked through tho?
The alcohol burns of entirely, and you are left with an entirely alcohol free dish.
Ah Risotto Nero, i can feel The iron
Epistos I wish he would have used prosciutto instead of bacon but I don’t know how that would have tasted
Im sorry but BABY BABISH omggg your channel never gets old. Thank you for my yummy dinner tonight
Alternative episode title: "risotto, like so"
Just realized, while reading all the jojokes, that Narancia died thinking Giorno and Mista were actually gay
I didn't think of it until now but...should ı thank you or curse you
Thanks for showing us this. I've been making risotto for many years but this moist version is great and a lot easier to eat than the sticky version I've been making.
Instructions unclear: all the iron in my blood is gone now....
Why do Scissors come out of my throat when I try to make this?
I gor razor blades wtf
I got a knife you’re lucky
I got hundreds of needles WTF
Made this last night, added some halved pistachios in with the brown butter sage sauce. It was awesome!!
