Notes

Brown rice risotto can be tricky to get right, but the key is to be patient and stir constantly. The stirring is what helps create the creamy texture of the dish. If you find that your rice is still too firm after 45 minutes of cooking, you can add more broth and continue cooking until it reaches your desired consistency.
