THE BEST RISOTTO
With relatively few ingredients (none of them being cream), the success of a classic creamy risotto depends largely on technique. We've tested all the methods and narrowed it down to a few easy-to-follow steps that will help you achieve perfectly cooked Italian-style rice every time. This basic recipe is delicious on its own and makes a wonderful base to add your favorite vegetables or protein.

Steps:
- Warm the chicken stock in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, cover and keep warm while you make the risotto.
- Heat the olive oil in another medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the shallot, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 10 grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the bay leaves and 3 tablespoons butter, stirring until the butter has melted, about 1 minute.
- Add the rice and toast, stirring only once, until it smells nutty and starts to turn light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Pour in the wine and simmer, stirring occasionally, until it has evaporated completely, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Ladle one cup of the warm stock into the rice and cook, stirring gently without stopping, until the rice has absorbed the liquid, 2 to 3 minutes (you will know it's time to add more stock when you move the rice aside and no liquid pools in the center).
- Repeat this process, adding more stock a ladleful at a time, until the rice is al dente, 17 to 19 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. (You may have a little stock left over. If so, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.) If you prefer your risotto on the saucier side, add more stock 1/4 cup at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
- Stir in the Parmesan, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon salt and a few more grinds of black pepper and serve with more Parmesan, if desired.
CREAMY RISOTTO WITH BROAD BEANS, CRISPY BACON AND SAGE
This is a real risotto, the kind you have to stir for half an hour, so don't attempt this recipe unless your arms are in good health or you've got some stirrer elves! Frozen broad beans are easy to find in Australia, impossible to find in Canada and I don't know about anywhere else. Obviously it's best if you can get fresh ones, otherwise use frozen ones, otherwise substitute frozen baby lima beans (don't worry about peeling these). As for bacon, I prefer back bacon, it is lean and crisps up very well, but you can use the streakier kind if you like. I have also tried this recipe using half reggiano, half aged cheddar because that's all I had in the fridge, and it tasted just as good as the original. I got this recipe on the web somewhere a couple of years ago but can't remember the details, nor can Google. Note that stirring time is included in prep time because it's anything but passive!

Steps:
- Bring stock and wine to a boil in a medium saucepan. Set it aside, but leave it on the stove under low heat.
- Heat oil in large saucepan. Add green onions and garlic, stir until onion is soft.
- Add rice and stir to coat. Turn heat down to low.
- Add the stock mixture to the big saucepan one cup at a time, stirring until all liquid is absorbed after each cup. This takes about half an hour.
- After all the liquid has been used up the rice should be just tender. You might need to give it an extra five minutes or so over low heat to get there.
- In the meantime, grill the bacon until it is brown and crispy on both sides. Set it aside to drain on absorbent paper towels.
- Remove rice from heat and stir in cream, 1 cup of cheese, beans and sage. Cover and stand for five minutes.
- Serve topped with crispy bacon and the rest of the cheese. A bit of cracked pepper is a nice touch.
