Classic Risotto
Ingredients

- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 1/2 cup Freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1 Yellow onion finely chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves minced
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 tbsp Butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium pot over medium-low heat, add butter, and let melt. Add the onion and garlic, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes translucent, about 4 to 5 minutes. Don't let the vegetables brown.
- Add rice; cook and stir for 1 minute.
- Stir in wine; cook until liquid is absorbed.
- Add 2 cups of warm chicken broth to the rice mixture; stir until the liquid is absorbed. Repeat 2 times.
- Add a last cup of warm broth (cup 5), and cook the rice in the chicken broth until the rice absorbs the broth, stirring often.
- The whole cooking process should take about 20-25 minutes. If the rice is not ready, add ½ cup more of chicken broth and keep cooking until close to al-dente.
- Remove from heat; stir in parmesan cheese. Serve with pepper and salt, if desired.
- Serve the risotto hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley or basil if desired.
