Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Broth
In a saucepan, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a simmer over medium heat. Keep it warm on the stove while you prepare the risotto.

Sauté the Aromatics
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil and one tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Add Broth Gradually
Pour in 1 cup of the warm broth and stir gently. Allow the rice to absorb the broth completely before adding the next cup. Continue this process, adding the broth one cup at a time, and stirring frequently. This will take about 18-20 minutes, and the rice should be creamy and al dente when finished.

Incorporate Cheese and Season
Once the rice is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
