Risotto Milanese: A culinary masterpiece

Check out my first Novel www.amazon.co....
Risotto dates way back the the 16th Century in Milan, a painter liked to use the spice in his paintings. A friend joked that he loved it so much that he'd probably use it in food. Little did they realise just how tasty it could be.

Good to see you back again Matt! Hope life is treating you well. I haven’t done this one but will give it a try!

[@annabizaro-doo-dah]

Oooo I was thinking about you yesterday....and up you popped! I also attempted risotto last week. I wasnt happy with it and so I look forward to recreating yours. Im sure it will be wonderful! Also...'dont argue with Italians, 'cos theyre good at that'😂. Yup. Sister in law would agree😂

think of the devil and he shall appear haha

[@peteredwards338]

Where has Uncle Matt been ? Missed his vlogs.

[@unclemattscookerylessons]

I get fed up with the lack of suggestions from youtube, I've been messing around with another cooking channel as an experiment but it hasn't gone well. here's a link if you want to have a lookruclips.net/video/JQZvF5gsSNo/видео.htmlsi=x7YUq_syqnCpyaIB

I could just eat that right now.

That's the original recipe, nice! Thanks Matt, for sharing an authentic piece of Italian culture :-)

[@unclemattscookerylessons]

Thank you, I really do try to stay as close to an authentic recipe. In my experience here on youtube is that, there is always someone upset as it's not exactly as their Nona did it. But the reality is that the Nona next door did it slightly different to them?
I do love the Italian attitude to food, high quality but simple ingredients, not messed around with too much.
I trained in posh French restaurants and as much as I love their food, sometimes it is unnecessarily complicated.

Glad you are back. Love your videos!!

[@unclemattscookerylessons]

Thank you so much

[@pcwizardman]

Welcome back!

[@dyslexiksteve2488]

Looks very good

[@jasonuren3479]

Literally just eaten mushroom risotto, my favourite of the risottos and one of my favourite meals generally. Not forgetting the crusty garlic bread.

[@unclemattscookerylessons]

that's my favourite as well, my missus is Polish and she brings home dried mushrooms that they forage over there, they make the most incredible mushroom stock

[@mogthebricky5284]

I’m going to have a go at that midweek, looks good, cheers 👍

[@NataliaTorresHerrera]

Looks delicious ❤

[@lisaboban]

I love risotto!!! This looks great Matt!

[@unclemattscookerylessons]

I have to say mushroom is my favourite, but it's nice to try different flavours from time to time.

[@LBStirlo]

Nice

[@JunitoKitchen]

Not many ingredients, but looks soooooo good... I always tend to be greedy to make risotto with lots of things in it, I gotta try this.

[@unclemattscookerylessons]

Those Italians love simplicity, I trained in French restaurants where it's more complicated.
I like both styles tbh. I hope you enjoy

[@nk-pj8el]

where can i find uncle matt's buggery lessons

[@unclemattscookerylessons]

well er.. probably somewhere out there is another uncle Matt who's into that?

[@sportflyer]

Yum. But don’t skimp on the butter! 😁

[@unclemattscookerylessons]

Never
