Risotto

[TheAmericanNightmare]

Hey there, fellow food enthusiasts! Today, I'm thrilled to share my go-to recipe for a creamy and flavorful risotto. This dish is a labor of love, but trust me, the end result is absolutely worth it. From sautéing the onions to that final sprinkle of Parmesan, every step contributes to the rich, indulgent taste of this classic Italian comfort food. Let's dive into the details together!

Ingredients:

8 cups chicken broth​

1/4 cup olive oil​

1/2 cup finely chopped onion​

3 cups arborio rice​

2 garlic cloves, minced​

1 cup dry white wine or water​

1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese​

2 tablespoons butter​

1/4 teaspoon salt​

1/4 teaspoon pepper​

3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Preparation:​

1. Start by heating the broth in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Once it simmers, reduce heat to low and cover to keep warm.
2. In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Saute onion until soft, about 10 minutes. Add rice and garlic; cook for 2 to 3 minutes until lightly toasted. Sweating the onion before toasting adds flavour, a key step for a rich risotto.
3. Pour wine into the Dutch oven; cook until absorbed. Opt for dry white wine for acidity, or water as an alternative.
4. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add 1/2 cup warm broth, stirring constantly until absorbed before each addition. The process takes about 20 minutes. Ensure the final addition is absorbed, leaving creamy yet tender risotto.
5. If the last addition is reduced too far, add water or butter to loosen the mixture.
6. Stir in cheese, butter, salt, pepper, and parsley until combined. Serve immediately.
   
   And there you have it, my tried-and-true risotto recipe! I hope you enjoy making and savouring this dish as much as I do. Cheers to good food and happy cooking!
