Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth over medium heat. Keep it warm but not boiling.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic. Sauté until the shallots are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Toast the Rice

    Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir for about 2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.

  4. 4

    Add Broth Gradually

    Pour in a ladleful of warm vegetable broth and stir continuously until it is absorbed. Repeat this process, adding broth gradually, until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Incorporate Vegetables

    During the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the fresh seasonal vegetables and stir well to combine.

  6. 6

    Finish with Cheese and Herbs

    Once the rice is cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, fresh basil, salt, and pepper to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the risotto warm, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and basil if desired.
