Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Truffle oil or shaved truffles for garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Prepare the Broth:
- In a saucepan, heat the chicken or vegetable broth over medium heat. Keep it warm while preparing the risotto.
- Sauté Aromatics:
- In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Toast the Rice:
- Add the Arborio rice to the skillet. Stir to coat the rice with the oil and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted.
- Deglaze with Wine:
- Pour in the dry white wine and stir continuously until the wine has been absorbed by the rice.
- Add Broth:
- Begin adding the warm broth to the rice, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly. Allow each addition of broth to be absorbed by the rice before adding more. Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is creamy and al dente.
- Finish the Risotto:
- Once the rice is cooked to your desired consistency, remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve:
- Spoon the truffle risotto into serving bowls. Drizzle with truffle oil or top with shaved truffles for an extra luxurious touch.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this decadent Truffle Risotto as a main course or side dish!
