Ensure the chicken broth is heated before adding it to the rice; this helps maintain a consistent cooking temperature. Stirring frequently is crucial for releasing the starch in the Arborio rice, creating the signature creamy texture. Taste the rice throughout the cooking process to ensure it reaches the desired consistency and flavor. For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth or adding a splash of dry white wine after toasting the rice. The pilaf is best served immediately, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently with a splash of broth to restore its creaminess.
