2 Done | Add the arborio rice into the pan and mix well with the oil, butter, onion mixture. You can now turn the heat back up to medium-high but keep stirring constantly. Prepare the stock by mixing one Knorr Chicken Stock Pot with 500ml boiling water. Pour the stock into the pan, one cup at a time, together with a pinch of saffron, stirring constantly. |
3 Done | When the arborio rice is cooked, after about 20 minutes – do keep in mind that arborio rice is supposed to feel very al dente – stir in the freshly-grated parmesan cheese and 1/2 tbsp of lemon juice. Take the pan off the heat. Pour the risotto out of the pan and into a wide glass dish so that it cools quicker. |

6 Done | In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs and breadcrumbs. Start by passing the ball through the first bowl: the flour, then the eggs and finally the breadcrumbs. First ball done! It will get better as you go along. You can freeze these at this point for later, deep-fry them, or even bake in the oven at 180C. Enjoy! |
