Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a saucepan, heat the chicken or vegetable broth over low heat. Keep it warm while you prepare the risotto.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Onions

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

  3. 3

    Toast the Rice

    Add the Carnaroli rice to the skillet and stir for about 2 minutes, allowing the rice to toast slightly.

  4. 4

    Add Wine

    Pour in the dry white wine and stir until it has mostly evaporated.

  5. 5

    Cook the Risotto

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

  6. 6

    Finish with Cheese and Butter

    Once the risotto is cooked, remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and butter. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve the risotto warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
