👩‍🍳 Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

🎯 Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

1

Heat chicken broth in a separate pot to a simmer. Keep warm and adjust seasoning as needed. This will be used throughout the risotto preparation.

⏱️ 10 min (ish) 🌡️ 180°F

AI Wisdom: Use a thermometer to ensure the perfect temperature.
2

In a large saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the Arborio rice and cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes or until the rice is coated in butter and slightly toasted.

⏱️ 5 min (ish) 🌡️ 300°F

AI Wisdom: Stir constantly to prevent burning.
3

Add the white wine to the saucepan, pouring slowly while stirring constantly. Cook until the wine has been fully absorbed, about 2-3 minutes.

⏱️ 3 min (ish) 🌡️ 300°F

AI Wisdom: Use a ladle to add the wine slowly.
4

Add 1/2 cup of the warm chicken broth to the saucepan, stirring constantly until the broth has been fully absorbed. Repeat this process, adding the broth in 1/2 cup increments, until the rice is cooked and creamy, about 20-25 minutes total.

⏱️ 20 min (ish) 🌡️ 180°F

AI Wisdom: Use a slotted spoon to add the broth and prevent overcooking.
5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt to taste.

⏱️ 2 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Use a wooden spoon to stir and prevent lumps.
6

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If using, add the cooled mushroom duxelles and fold into the risotto.

⏱️ 2 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Use a spoon to taste and adjust seasoning.
