Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a saucepan, heat the vegetable or seafood broth and keep it warm over low heat.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Toast the Rice

    Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously until the rice is lightly toasted.

  4. 4

    Deglaze with Wine

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

  5. 5

    Add Broth Gradually

    Start adding the warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly. Allow each addition to be absorbed before adding the next. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

  6. 6

    Cook the Seafood

    In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the seafood mix to the risotto and stir gently until the seafood is cooked through and opaque.

  7. 7

    Finish with Cheese and Seasoning

    Remove the skillet from heat, stir in the remaining butter, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well until creamy.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve the risotto hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
