How to Make Add An Ingredient Risotto
- 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.
- Add 1 ½ cups Arborio rice and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the grains are translucent around the edges.
- Pour in ½ cup dry white wine (optional) and stir until absorbed.
- 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.
- 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.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
- Garnish with fresh herbs (parsley, basil, chives) if desired.
