Please, give me a short bullet list of main ingredients and procedure in order to cook risotto.

Risotto can be cooked with different recipes and ingredients, however the cooking procedure is standard and the basic ingredients are common in all recipes.

- First of all rice is briefly cooked in a soffritto made with onions and butter but also olive oil can be used
- This first phase is called tostatura and it’s important because it coats each rice grain with a film of fat
- Then you need to add white wine until is absorbed by the grains
- Raise then the heat to medium-high
- Now you need to start adding boiling stock in small amounts while constantly stirring
- When the rice is cooked take off the pot from the heat and vigorously beating in refrigerated balls of Parmesan cheese and butter
