Risotto with leek, parsley, and parmesan
Risotto is an easy Italian comfort food, but it does require your full attention while making it. You need to stir frequently in the pot, so the rice cooks evenly and so it doesn't burn on the bottom of the pot. In this version, leeks, garlic and herbs are used, but risotto can be made in countless variations.

Fry onion and garlic in olive oil in a pot, until the onions are clear.
Step 3/8
Add risotto rice, and fry for another 1 minute.
