  7. HEAT the broth/water in a separate saucepan or the microwave (just under a simmer).
  8. START adding the stock 1/2 cup at a time as per instructions for risotto, remembering to stir quite frequently. rice should cook at a steady slow simmer, bubbling lightly.
  9. TASTE the rice after it has cooked for about 20 to 25 minutes, if you feel it needs more cooking add more liquid and continue to cook to your taste (up to 40 minutes.
  10. THE rice can be slightly al dente, with a very slight bite to it, with the grains separate, and the rice creamy.
