      Jace Roberts The funny thing about me is my father's side is Italian, but no one believes me when I say I am because I have ginger hair but tan (ish) skin with dark brown almost black eyes. And I can verify all that you said here. Another thing is meatloaf (which I don't think is Italian). My dad makes it a certain way that ends up with a nice cooked crust on it but nice and juicy inside, my mom makes it so it falls apart, my sister makes it with bleu cheese dressing (HIGHLY reccommend) and it tastes like heaven. It's like that, but with the entire Italian cuisine.

      I worked with an Italian in one of the restaurants I've worked at, who would go nuts over the way we cooked spaghetti every freaking time. And I'd be like, "There's more than one way to cook spaghetti, I ALREADY KNOW that this isn't the "traditional" way, but that's how the boss wants it done, so don't blow up at ME about it."
      This was like every. single. time.
      And though meatloaf is typically considered to be of German and Scandinavian origin, it actually originated in Rome because they would mince the remainders of the roasts that rich people ate and cook it in a loaf for their slaves or servants, but it became popularized among the upper class around 5 A.D.. So, since it originated in Rome, it is...kind of... Italian.
      But don't tell any Italians I said that. They'd probably kill me.

    I love making risotto, its one of those dishes that when you stand there continually stirring it you are able to kinda zone out while doing it... I usually make mine with mushrooms shallots and chives. I love the slow n painful method of adding in tiny amounts of liquid at a time while continually stirring because it gets such a great texture.
    I really want a pressure cooker too!

    • @F1emingo

    • @bloodgain
      @bloodgain 6 лет назад +3

      I read an experiment a while back (can't remember who did it) where they determined that the only part of the stirring that matters is the end, where you just need to stir the ever-loving crap out of it to knock some starch off into the sauce for that perfect risotto texture. They settled on an oven-based method where you add all the liquid up front, but this was before the electric pressure cookers got popular. One thing they did find made a difference was to use a proper wooden risotto spoon with a hole in it; it apparently helped with that final mixing step.

    Squash is usually too sweet for me, so I threw in some garlic cloves to roast under it, peeled them and blended into the puree. It added a nice punch to contrast the sweetness. Omitted the maple syrup, added a drop of lemon juice at the end and some butter. It was geeewd

    As a Sicilian I love that he made arancini (small oranges) out of the left over risotto. Though to be traditional, caciocavallo cheese should be used as the cheese in the center and regular bread crumbs for the coating. Also a few sprigs of saffron should be added while cooking the risotto for the arancini to make the color of the rice a soft yellow. Other than that im glad to see it!

    • @grantpuls183
      @grantpuls183 6 лет назад +25

    As a Sicilian, I respect and love you even more when you said “Arancini” instead of “Arancine”, you said it the right and original way. Also Arancini are classically filled with Ragù, mozzarella and peas(if they were not added in the Ragù) sometimes with also some boiled eggs. Also, if you want to make it like this, you could insert some chunks of meat instead of the other kind of meat, the “chopped” one from the supermarket, sorry I’m Sicilian so I’m not perfect with my English. But anyways, there are many ways of making Arancini there’s also butter arancini(put butter in rice or inside the arancini or...both...then add peas, prosciutto cotto(chopped ham bits from the entire block of it, not the sliced ham) and a melty cheese or mozzarella and maybe the most simple of them all: spinach made with cooked spinach with garlic, if you want, and melty cheese here aswell, you could also add ricotta. These were some tips, Im sorry if I annoyed you, have a great day and a great life to you Babish and to everybody!

      @ciaofonzo 6 лет назад

      not to start the flame, but at least try to specify that the pronunciation and the "gender" depends by the areas of the island, there is not one true version of the name, because these are simply different depending by the area you make them. In the western part of Sicily, we call them arancine (f), they have a round shape if made "alla carne" (with a meat based sauce) and a more oval shape if "al burro" (with cheese like caciocavallo, ham and a bit of bechamel to keep); Arancini (m) are from the eastern part of the island and those alla carne are made with a cone shape. One particular thing to keep in mind is that you have to cook the rice with saffron, to give its typical colour and parfume.

      I agree with you, but risotto making is based on science, not tradition and in this video the most basic most important steps are completely missed

    • @EGOCOGITOSUM
      @EGOCOGITOSUM 6 лет назад +17

      risotto making is a precise science, not tradition grandma bullshit, based on temperature manipulation, the reason you toast the rice is to seal in the starches. once the rice goes above 80C you must not let it go below that for the entire cooking process. Just at the end out of the fire, you add parmesan and preferably cold butter to bring the temperature below 80, so the rice releases the starches all at once and make it creamy and silky without being heavy with crap like cream and friends. Acidity helps this final step, so a burre blanc or acidic butter brings it to a whole now level besides this and the quality of the stock (not storebought please) all the rest is not important using or not using wine the type of cheese or butter onions not onions its really not important

      It's pretty well known from what I'm aware of, it just depends on what the chef's been informed about. Just last month I saw a video on making the best oyster po'boys and both of the chefs on cam not only went into depth on why they prefer this method but also their surprise at how many other chefs can miss such an important detail of food preparation. Not to diss Babish or anything but I feel like there's a few things he missed by not attending culinary school, and he has commented on this in a few other videos.

    Northern Italian amateur chef checking in. You get the Italian seal of approval for your butternut squash risotto...it sounds delish...
    However, since this is Basics with babish, I would have added one of the best characteristics of Risotto. Risotto is a blank canvas and if you obey a few "basic" principles you can make it your own special creature every time you decide to cook it.
    I.e.
    You need a fat base ( oil for fish and vegetable risotti, butter for more meaty or creami risotti)
    you need diced onion to saute in your fat base.
    you need to "toast" the rice in the Saute onion and fat before adding any water
    When the rice is nice and shiny you need to " sfumare" with wine
    you need the broth and the stirring.
    And at the end the most important and satisfying part"Mantecare" with cheese and butter , stir them in, turn off the heat and let it mantecare for a few minutes.
    With these basics you can create your own risotto! and the possibilities are endless!
