Cooking Instructions
Prepare the broth
In a saucepan, heat the chicken or vegetable broth over low heat. Keep it warm throughout the cooking process.
Sauté the aromatics
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
Deglaze with wine
Pour in the white wine and stir until it is mostly absorbed by the rice.
Add the broth gradually
Begin adding the warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the rice to absorb most of the liquid before adding more broth. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.
Finish the risotto
Once the rice is cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve
Spoon the risotto into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
