Answer 1

Answer:

Small amount of stock are added until the appropriate consistency is reached.

Option: (d)

Explanation:

• Risotto is an Italian dish where rice is cooked with broth (water or soup where vegetable, meat, bone are gently boiled) until the rice gives creamy texture.

• Rice is cooked in low flame and slowly. More starch is released by the rice if it is cooked low and hence make the dish creamy.
• Arborio rice is generally used. We can also add butter, herbs, garlic whatever we desire.
