Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a saucepan, heat the vegetable or chicken broth and keep it simmering over low heat.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Onions

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the caramelized onions and sauté until they are heated through and fragrant.

  3. 3

    Toast the Rice

    Add the Carnaroli rice to the skillet with the onions. Stir for about 2-3 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.

  4. 4

    Add Broth Gradually

    Begin adding the simmering broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the rice to absorb the broth before adding more. Continue this process for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is al dente.

  5. 5

    Finish the Risotto

    Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat. Stir in the Parmigiano Reggiano until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Drizzle with Giusti 12yr aceto balsamico before serving for an extra layer of flavor. Serve warm.
