Vegetarian Risotto Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Broth

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

2. 2

   Sauté Aromatics

   In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Cook the Rice

   Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir for 1-2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.

4. 4

   Add Wine

   Pour in the white wine and cook, stirring constantly, until the wine is mostly absorbed by the rice.

5. 5

   Add Broth Gradually

   Begin adding the warm vegetable broth, one ladleful at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until most of the liquid is absorbed before adding the next ladle of broth. Continue this process until the rice is al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

6. 6

   Incorporate Vegetables

   Stir in the seasonal vegetables halfway through the broth addition process, allowing them to become tender.

7. 7

   Finish with Cheese and Herbs

   Once the rice is cooked and has a creamy consistency, remove from heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

8. 8

   Serve

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