Method
- Pour your broth into a small saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant.
- Add the minced garlic and stir for another 30 seconds.
- Add the Arborio rice to the pan and stir constantly for about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Pour in the white wine and stir until the rice absorbs most of the liquid, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add about 1 cup of warm broth to the rice and stir frequently, waiting until the rice absorbs most of the liquid before adding more, which should take about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Repeat this process by adding another cup of warm broth and stirring frequently for 4 to 5 minutes.
- Continue this process with the remaining broth, adding about 1 cup at a time and stirring regularly until the rice becomes creamy and tender for about 16 to 18 minutes total cooking time.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and the freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve immediately in warm bowls.
Notes
Risotto pairs beautifully with simple sides and proteins that complement it, such as sautéed mushrooms or roasted asparagus.
