Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Broth
In a saucepan, heat the chicken or vegetable broth over medium heat. Keep it warm throughout the cooking process.
- 2
Sauté Onions and Garlic
In a large skillet, 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 about 2 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors and become slightly translucent.

Deglaze with Wine
Pour in the white wine and stir until it is mostly absorbed by the rice.

Add Broth Gradually
Begin adding the warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly. Wait until the liquid is mostly absorbed before adding more broth. Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is creamy and al dente.

Finish with Cheese and Butter
Once the rice is cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, the remaining tablespoon of butter, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix until creamy and well combined.
