Risotto
Prep Time:
Serves: 4

1 cup Arborio rice
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Using a large skillet with a heavy bottom, heat olive oil over low heat and saute onions till translucent, being careful not to allow them to color or brown at all. Add rice, stir to coat with oil, and saute 7 minutes with onions to toast each grain of rice. Once the rice is lightly toasted, add wine slowly, stirring with a wooden spoon. Preheat the chicken broth just to the boiling point, then have it ready at stoveside. After the rice has absorbed the wine and the skillet is nearly dry, add 1/2 cup stock, stirring occasionally, and cook over very low heat till the stock is absorbed. Continue adding the stock, 1/4 cup at a time, till all the stock has been absorbed. Once the rice has been added to the pan, the entire cooking process will take about 17-20 minutes. After all of the liquid has been added and the rice is chewy yet fully cooked, with a creamy texture, add butter, Parmesan and cream. Stir to combine all the ingredients and serve immediately.
