The correct way to make risotto is to heat up some oil in a large pan, add finely chopped onion, garlic and other vegetables (if desired) and cook until slightly softened. Then add Arborio rice and stir it constantly for a few minutes until it is nicely coated with oil. Next, add a ladleful of hot vegetable or chicken stock and stir until the stock is almost completely absorbed. Continue to add stock, stirring constantly, until the risotto is cooked al dente. Finally, stir in some butter or cream, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to taste.
