Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Peel and mince the onion. Cut the fontina and Gorganzola cheeses into 1/4-inch dice (1 cup each). Bring the chicken stock (or chicken broth and water) to a boil; cover and keep warm. Heat 4 tablespoons butter in a large soup kettle. Add the onions and saute until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in rice and saute until translucent and coated with butter, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup hot stock and, stirring continuously, simmer until liquid is completely absorbed, about 1 minute. Repeat with remaining stock, stirring continuously, adding 1/2 cup at a time. Add more stock only after previous addition has been absorbed. Continue to cook, stirring and adding hot stock, until rice is creamy and just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in remaining butter, cheeses, and pepper. Serve immediately.
  2. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
  3. BASIC RISOTTO: Use the same recipe except increase the butter to 1/4 pound, increase the Parmesan cheese to 6 tablespoons and omit the other three cheeses
