Preparation Steps
Prepare the Broth
In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth over medium heat and keep it warm but not boiling.
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Add Broth Gradually
Pour in a ladleful of warm vegetable broth and stir continuously until the liquid is absorbed. Repeat this process, adding broth a ladleful at a time and stirring until each addition is absorbed before adding more.
Finish the Risotto
After about 18-20 minutes, when the rice is creamy and al dente, remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the remaining butter, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley.
Serve
Serve the risotto hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
