The top of your Hobbit stove or indeed any woodburning stove is the perfect place for cooking that Italian and now worldwide favourite, risotto.
First you must start by making a good stock using some onion, celery, carrot, a few lardons, garlic and seasoning. Ideally you will already have a jug of stock you made earlier!
The stove top is normally at a constant temperature which is often a lot lower than an electric or gas hob making it great for simmering stock for long periods to obtain a real depth of flavour to your risotto or indeed any stove top dish that incorporates your ultimate ‘stock’.
