Important Notes

⚠️

Mince the onions or shallots to the same size as the rice kernels so they blend invisibly into the final dish.

⚠️

Always use short-grain rice (like Arborio or Carnaroli) because it has more starch than long-grain varieties, which creates the signature creaminess.

⚠️

Don't rinse the rice beforehand, as you want to keep all the surface starch for the sauce.

⚠️

Vigorous stirring or tossing at the very end is the secret to achieving the 'wave' texture and a perfectly emulsified sauce.
