Ingredients for Risotto

Method

Directions for Cooking Risotto

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth over low heat. Keep it warm throughout the cooking process.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Toast the Rice

    Add the Arborio rice to the pot and stir for about 2-3 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.

  4. 4

    Add Wine

    Pour in the white wine and stir until it is mostly absorbed by the rice.

  5. 5

    Cook the Risotto

    Begin adding the warm vegetable broth one ladle at a time, stirring continuously. Wait until the liquid is nearly absorbed before adding more broth. Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is creamy and al dente.

  6. 6

    Mix in Cheeses

    Once the rice is cooked, remove the pot from heat and stir in the farmer's cheese and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve the risotto hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
