Preparation

1. Prepare the vegetable broth with 1 stalk of celery, 1 carrot, 1 small shallot and salt
2. Boil the broth for at least 20 minutes
3. Toast the rice over low heat for a few minutes, stirring continuously.
4. Wet the rice with a glass of white wine and let it evaporate over a high flame
5. Add the boiling broth a ladle at a time, stirring often, adding the next one only when the previous one has been absorbed
6. After 15 minutes add the Cuttlefish Ink Sauce
7. After 2/3 minutes the risotto will be ready, turn off the heat
8. If the risotto seems too compact, add a drop of broth and stir it again.
9. Cover and let it rest for 2 minutes before adding the chopped parsley leaves
10. Serve the risotto on plates and garnish with the whole chilli pepper and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil on the edge of the plate

Suggestions

While adding the broth, it would be best to mix with a whisk
Remember that at the last moment before serving, the risotto should be fluid but not solid. This process is called "all'onda" (wave-like).
If you want to save time, use vegetable stock even if it's not the same thing.
Remember that the risotto must boil slowly during cooking, so do not keep the flame too high, this is to ensure that the rice releases all its starch during cooking, avoiding the "boiled rice" effect.
