How the clue works
Look at One takes stock — that's your definition, since a risotto is a dish where the rice soaks up stock. For the wordplay, take gentleman (SIR) and have it recalled, meaning reversed, to get RIS. Then bare bottom tells you to strip the outer letters off BOTTOM, leaving OTTO, which goes on the end.
