<human>:  What’s the best way to cook an Italian-style risotto?
<bot>: The best way to cook an Italian-style risotto is to start by sautéing finely chopped onion and garlic in a large saucepan with a little olive oil. Then add Arborio rice, stirring to coat the grains in the oil. Pour in a few ladles of hot chicken or vegetable stock and a pinch of saffron, stirring continuously until all the liquid is absorbed. Continue to add stock and stir slowly for about 18 minutes until the risotto has a creamy yet al dente consistency. Finally, season with freshly ground black pepper and Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
