I make a very good risotto. I have several different recipe I use. I add lots of roasted/cooked veggies and shredded chicken.
Every time, I think of the Top Chef judges who (I think) did not like any risotto any chef contestant ever made.
My secret? I start in my rice cooker. I “cook” the rice and the spices. I start with boiling hot water/broth.
When the cooker switches to “warm”, I add the rest of the smaller ingredients, the move to a bigger bowl to add the chicken and vegetables.
