Why is my risotto still hard after cooking?

[corbin]

Heyy! I tried making risotto the other day. I ran into a snag. Despite my best efforts, the darn thing just wouldn't soften up like it should. Any clues as to why my risotto ended up with an unexpected firmness? I followed the recipe, but still the grains are hard. Any wisdom to share on this culinary conundrum?

Your risotto might still be hard because you didn't add enough liquid gradually or didn't stir it frequently enough during cooking .
