Risotto
Risotto originated in the Piedmont region of northern Italy. Risotto dishes are made with short-grain rice and include a broth that creates a creamy final product. Producing a good risotto is not often that easy and an improperly cooked one can resemble a crunchy rice soup.
Risottos are often found in fine Italian or even gourmet French restaurants around the world. If you want to learn to make risotto at home, look to chefs like Mario Batali, who are considered masters of Italian risotto dishes.
