How to Make Add An Ingredient Risotto

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add 1 small chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 1 ½ cups Arborio rice and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the grains are translucent around the edges.
  3. Pour in ½ cup dry white wine (optional) and stir until absorbed.
  4. Add 4 cups hot vegetable or chicken broth, one cup at a time, stirring continuously until each addition is absorbed before adding the next. This process should take about 20-25 minutes.
  5. Stir in ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons butter, and your choice of added ingredients (see suggestions below). Continue to stir until the cheese is melted and the risotto is creamy.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
  7. Garnish with fresh herbs (parsley, basil, chives) if desired.
