- Stir the risotto continuously to release the starch from the rice, which creates the creamy texture.
- Chop the broccolini into small, bite-sized pieces for even cooking and better incorporation into the risotto.
- Add the white wine early in the cooking process to let the alcohol cook off and leave behind its rich, aromatic flavor.
- Finish the risotto with fresh lemon zest and juice to brighten up the dish and highlight the broccolini.
- Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to suit your preference.
