Risotto Tricolore from Big Night

Overview

This week, we are testing the patience of the Italians once again with an attempt at some real-deal risotto, from the realest of dealest of movies about Italian food: Big Night. I try a few different shortcuts, but spoiler alert: nothing quite compares to the real thing. So toss some pomade in your hair and hop in the Studebaker, because we're headed back to a mythical time when the Jersey Shore didn't appreciate Italian food.
