It certainly doesn't need to be stirred constantly but I don't think that's where the work is necessarily. If Coltrane was looking at a Fisherman's Risotto recipe, there is likely a whole separate process to preparing the fishy part of the dish. I make a lot of risottos too but it sure ain't weeknight cooking.
