Instructions
Prepare the Broth
In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth over medium heat until it is simmering. Keep it warm on the stove while you prepare the risotto.
Sauté Aromatics
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat 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 cook for another minute.
Toast the Rice
Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir for 2-3 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted and coated with the oil.
Add Wine
Pour in the white wine and stir until it is mostly absorbed by the rice.
Add Broth Gradually
Ladle in about 1 cup of the warm vegetable broth, stirring frequently. Once the liquid is mostly absorbed, add another cup of broth. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.
Finish the Risotto
Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat. Stir in the remaining butter, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley until well combined.
Serve
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley and Parmesan if desired.
