"Now in theory this would be enough for supper for 2, in practice I rather feel .... one." Wise words to live by. I'm a firm believer in Nigella's ideas on portion control, which is basically none whatsoever.
300grams of uncooked rice would be 600-700 grams minimum after Cooking (i think even 900g) this would be for 4 persons… and calories of this plate is like 2500-3000 kcal… well good luck for one person 😂
I am Italian from northern Italy so I love risotto; risotto is a typical dish from the north. Believe me if I tell you that an excellent risotto can be made with a pressure cooker: eight minutes from the hiss and your risotto is ready. Obviously you have to whisk it with butter and Parmesan cheese or Grana padano. After that let it rest, covered, for two or three minutes. The variety of rice used is very important. Never use a parboiled one! For the risotto the best is the Carnaroli variety, but Rome and Vialone nano are also good. Enjoy your meal.
Agree, pressure cookers make the best risotto with the least effort. Grains remain light and fluffy, with a lovely creaminess enveloping them. No constant stirring, much less effort.
I love Nigella because, she is so entertaining to watch and I like the way she speaks. Her speech is posh yet very down to earth at the same time and she is a really creative TV chef. I have all her cookery books collection and I write unique cookbooks myself too.
i've made this recipe twice, and it really has not disappointed me either time, i did opt for 2 egg yolks and juice of a whole lemon, and it definitely delivered. great recipe, would reccomend.
Finally a cook that mentiones whether using something in the witchen is worth the washing up! Most often it's quite clear that they don't have to clean up their own mess 🙄
FINALLY, somebody on UA-cam who looks like they got the texture of risotto just right. So many other videos, the risotto comes out looking so soupy. (ahem cough cough Martha Stewart cough Barefoot Contessa cough)
I just don't understand why people put lemon seeds in their food when it only takes a few moments to strain them. Nothing like enjoying a rich creamy risotto then crunch of a stupid lemon seed
Primrose emulsion....my goodness..her way With vocabulary..is out if the world...extraordinarily lusciousness... Indeed the world is a better place with a Diva like you.....
Nigellas ideology on portions is quite refreshing in a world where women are consistently taught and preaching the idea of "cheating" on a diet or "guilty food pleasures" for totally normal meals.
Ah yes, the glory days of Nigella before the Food Network got a hold of her and apparently insisted that she smile at the camera throughout the entire episode. It changed everything. Imagine having the most delicious champagne and then diluting it with water. 😒
silvano de lazzari Had a chance to taste that recipe, which was simply divine. But I won’t make any attempt anytime soon, solely due to saffron’s price.
Marco Piscina Agree Completely... I Don’t Even Have Cable Anymore!!! But I Did Miss Her. She’s Real, Beautiful, and I Learn More From Her Then Anyone, and She Can Cook!!
Also I have never managed to cook 100g Risotto with only 3.5 dl of stock. For me it's 4.5-5 dl per 100g. I don't know how everyone seems to be able to use only so little stock. Also I wonder how anyone can make a risotto in 17 minutes. Mine always takes at least! 19-20 minutes and even more although I have my pan on high heat.
I finally made this! (However, unfortunately, my store didnt have celery or rosemary 😢) It was delicious... however 😯 it made me gassy which is odd cuz i can eat eggs and dairy and im latino, rice isnin my blood lol. Not sure what happened but im gonna try again sometime
Normally I use 1.8 litres for 400g of rice. Most of the time I need at least 1.5 litres of these. And when you make smaller portions, I think, you need even more liquid, so about 8-9dl for 100g of rice. That's because if you use such small portions in a quite big pan, the liquid evaporates much more quickly. I've never understood how you should be able to make risotto using such a low ratio of rice to liquid.
I made this and unfortunately had to throw mine out 😢 don’t know if it’s a flavour thing but the lemon was too overpowering . Then again I do like savoury but devo as I was so excited to make this 😭
You can leave out the egg if you want by all means the cream lemon etc is only optional, the risotto made in its simplest form has a lovely creamy taste anyway 😊
Oil doesn't stop butter from burning, as the smoke point of literally every cooking oil and animal fat is higher than that of unclarified butter. It's the water that stops unclarified butter from burning (such as the water in the shallots or stock). Great recipe though. Looks delicious.
"Now in theory this would be enough for supper for 2, in practice I rather feel .... one."

she's an inspiration
I agree!! I love her. However, I don't know how she's not as big as a house with all she eats?? I know I am. LOL.
Lemon seeds! Also adding an egg? Nope
My mum would say "for 2 if one doesn't want any!"😁
300grams of uncooked rice would be 600-700 grams minimum after Cooking (i think even 900g) this would be for 4 persons… and calories of this plate is like 2500-3000 kcal… well good luck for one person 😂
"Ritual disemboweling of the lemon" is something I've never heard but I will never refer to juicing a lemon as anything else.
No one captures the full sensual experience of cooking like Nigela. I love that she tucks into the big bowl of risotto with a serving spoon.
😂
Thanks to Nigella and Jamie Oliver I got the passion for cooking at an early age. Much respect and appreciation 💕
18 years old
😎👍🤲
❤😎
I think I’ve made this recipe for at least 12 years, and I still make it and love it ! Best risotto ever !
I love lemon and want to try it too. Will save the egg white for meringue.
"I find mindless repetitive activity [...] immensely comforting." Me too! Thanks, Nigella
This lady is not picky, nor afraid to eat!! You go girl!
OH PLEASE upload this whole series!!! It's my all-time favourite and no longer available on BBC or Food Network!!
This recipe is bliss. I do it over and over again.
Good to know! I've been back and forth on making it for a while. Now I have to try it!
Update: this recipie is so good my credit score raised 16 points and I found myself a husband
@@itimk0 😂😂😂
Looks like that would pair well with a fish course.
One of the most relatable tv chefs! She can encourage anyone to cook. Love, love, love her show❤️❤️

For the risotto the best is the Carnaroli variety, but Rome and Vialone nano are also good.
Enjoy your meal.
How about slow cooker?

Sorry, I don't know. Never used that system.
How interesting!

So true.

Nigella Lawson: making food and sweaters look absolutely delicious.
i've made this recipe twice, and it really has not disappointed me either time, i did opt for 2 egg yolks and juice of a whole lemon, and it definitely delivered. great recipe, would reccomend.
Mor Limon fer sure
Nigella is my favourite ASMR artist. The stirring, the chopping, the savoring!
I love this so much and how she loves it when she eats it. Yes Nigella the world is a better place after lemon rich risotto.
Im in love. The food is amazing too for sure
I've done it for the third time last night at a friend's house! Yet again they were besotted by it!! Bloody fantastic!!
Finally a cook that mentiones whether using something in the witchen is worth the washing up! Most often it's quite clear that they don't have to clean up their own mess 🙄
Blessings to u Nigella. I love how u eat...with enthusiasm and abandon....I need to watch this bc I want 2 make a risotto...thank u so much...
She’s so beautiful! And great cook and lady too 😊👸🏻💫
First-time viewer and I just subscribed. Educational and relaxing all at once. Thanks!
She is my first cooking recipes inspiration on TV show
I have watched her each recipe
Literally walks into her kitchen, ingredients at hand..dinners on the table in minutes, every time..
Hi Nigella ❤
The world is a better place because you are in it for sure 😀👍❤
😘
Cliff Allen Yeah.. It’s a better place because she stopped doing cocaine...

Who told you she stopped?

This woman is just so damn fine and made better because she's an amazing cook, perfect..
@@bored_and_has_no_clue These videos are more than 20 years old, when she was on Food Network.
I will always love Nigella and her cooking . Cheers . HISHAM ELFIKI
looks so good... and the risotto also
Very encouraging in this discouraging world.
Wonderful...
And so Is The Dish...
❤️🧑🍳🥣
FINALLY, somebody on UA-cam who looks like they got the texture of risotto just right. So many other videos, the risotto comes out looking so soupy. (ahem cough cough Martha Stewart cough Barefoot Contessa cough)
I love the way she feels about food, I totally get it
"This wonderful, primrose emulsion"
*dumps it unceremoniously into the pot*
Only Nigella.
Actually I wanna cook this for 2 years I guess? Tonight, finally! Some fresh thyme and cracked coloured peppers went in... Delicuous! 😍thanks!
Looks a great place looks sooo beautiful
I'm totally trying this! i love creamy risotto... i'll skip the lemon seeds though :P
Natalie 😂🍋🍋😂 Me Too... No Lemon Seeds Please!!!
I just don't understand why people put lemon seeds in their food when it only takes a few moments to strain them. Nothing like enjoying a rich creamy risotto then crunch of a stupid lemon seed
At 4:30 you can count 7 seeds in the mixture! Gross 😅😅😅
proper and high quality dishes, really pretty and amazing woman, what’s more need? 🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful!!!
Hi from Romania .....i adore you
This is amazing and I think I love you. Serving this with blackened mahi tomorrow.
3:34 😍
Thanks Nigella. I am going to make this risotto today but stubborn as I am I will also add a glass of white wine ;)
Beautiful.
Wish me luck all giving this a go for Friday dinner party
At 4:52, what does Nigella say the Venetians call it? Can someone tell?
I am in love! 😍
Freaking nostalgic.
Wao; great recipe.
I'm definitely trying thing. Anything based on lemon has my attention.
Lemon seeds and all!
Primrose emulsion....my goodness..her way
With vocabulary..is out if the world...extraordinarily lusciousness...
Indeed the world is a better place with a Diva like you.....
Nigellas ideology on portions is quite refreshing in a world where women are consistently taught and preaching the idea of "cheating" on a diet or "guilty food pleasures" for totally normal meals.
But have you ever watched her show? She does not give big portions at all. In fact they are very small.
She's so beautiful, indeed.
Superb television
Ah yes, the glory days of Nigella before the Food Network got a hold of her and apparently insisted that she smile at the camera throughout the entire episode. It changed everything. Imagine having the most delicious champagne and then diluting it with water. 😒
Looks delicious
Her mise en place skill is next to none 🙄🤔
Come on. That’s her charm
Do you peel or wash anything??
I like watching her cook. She just screams rustic! I wonder she isn’t a Taurus?
Nigella is a Capricorn .
A very very good risotto is the "risotto alla milanese" (with saffron), an excellent dish from Milan.
TheRenaissance
I know
silvano de lazzari Had a chance to taste that recipe, which was simply divine. But I won’t make any attempt anytime soon, solely due to saffron’s price.
kenneth hwang
True: saffron is very expensive, but you need a very little quantity: a point of a knife.
Now that sounds delicious...risotto Allan Milanese !! I will be trying it soon 😍
Wow wonderful
chopped these finely as you got patience for --- 💖
Outstanding recipe! Miss the cooking shows on the "Food Network". Now, all you get is 24 hours of cake wars, or Top Chef. Total garbage!
Marco Piscina Agree Completely... I Don’t Even Have Cable Anymore!!! But I Did Miss Her. She’s Real, Beautiful, and I Learn More From Her Then Anyone, and She Can Cook!!
Nigga, you better back off top chef
Thank you. I totally agree it's all competition, eating challenges and visiting places now and no instructional cooking.
Watching you cool I know the world is a better place.
I make a similar one using leeks and add rosemary with the lemon
Marion Edney sounds delicious 😋
"A wonderfully pronounced herbal hit."
Must try this...looks delicious, perhaps a bit calorific, so I'll halve the amounts.....or share....
U always make my day!!!✨♥️😁
Lots of love😘🥰

Is it in Netflix?! This program

1:47 I bet you say that to all the guys lol
aww, the disemboweling of the lemon , ooolala
I'm big fan of you mam

I'd love two big handfuls of this.....
Where are you now??
I LOVE HER VOICE. WHO KNEW GOURMET COOKING COULD BE SO SEXY.
I love you Negilla I love you Negilla
Yummy ❤️🇮🇹❤️🇮🇹❤️
I made this and unfortunately had to throw mine out 😢 don’t know if it’s a flavour thing but the lemon was too overpowering . Then again I do like savoury but devo as I was so excited to make this 😭
Золотые руки✋🖐👋👊✊
cool
Can an egg be ignored?
You can leave out the egg if you want by all means the cream lemon etc is only optional, the risotto made in its simplest form has a lovely creamy taste anyway 😊
What's this type of rice?
Arborio
Where is the recipe and quantities!?
Can I have one more extra imaginary bite please?💕😋 O h la la
What did she say at 3:34? Did I hear "So pen*s?"
This looks so delicious I love lemon anything. . but I'm vegan I would eliminate the dairy or use soy products.
Egg in risotto? It looks delicious but why eggs😮
Oil doesn't stop butter from burning, as the smoke point of literally every cooking oil and animal fat is higher than that of unclarified butter. It's the water that stops unclarified butter from burning (such as the water in the shallots or stock). Great recipe though. Looks delicious.
She ate 300 gms of rice by herself?
Italian dish from north of italy
Why she use a mezzaluna?
Wash rice or not
don't wash the rice... washing rice removes excess starch from the outside which is detrimental to the consistency of a risotto
