Risotto is a creamy rice dish from Italian cuisine and is widely offered in Italian restaurants in Baku. A special short grain rice is stirred slowly while broth is added bit by bit, so the starch releases and a soft creamy texture forms. The most common versions are mushroom, seafood and parmesan risotto. At the end butter and cheese are stirred in to enrich the flavor. The texture should be neither dry nor too runny, it stays loose and flowing. This dish works well on its own as a main course. It takes time to prepare, so the order may involve a short wait.
