The only convention he knows to be true is the use of home made chicken stock and a rice of some sort. He goes an unconventional route in choosing two different types of rice with which to cook - each for their different properties of taste and texture - but also infusing the flavor of a third, Basmati, into the final dish. Additional flavor is added all the way through the process, from the addition of Basmati rice into the stock to the addition of a saffron and Basmati infused acidulated butter (which will also act as a garnish, for bursts of flavor). Heston's perfect risotto is served with an accompaniment of a frothed chicken stock, mushroom and Basmati rice velouté and a saffron rice tuile. Written by Huggo See less
