Risotto

I made tomato risotto with roasted veg for supper tonight. I have never made risotto before (mainly because I have nightmares of Gordon Ramsey bursting out of my cupboards screaming at me that it's RAAAW!) but it actually came out really good. My question is, how long should the risotto actually cook for? The recipe said 20 minutes, then an extra five or so after you add the veg, but I ended up having to cook it for close to 40 minutes before it stopped being crunchy. The recipe also did not call for the pan to be covered, which seemed strange to me, since rice usually requires a lid. Anybody got any advice? via /r/AskCulinary https://ift.tt/3cNyW1w
