How to Make Vidalia Onion Risotto

  1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped Vidalia onion and minced garlic; sauté for 1 minute, until softened.
  3. Stir in Arborio rice and toast for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the grains are translucent around the edges.
  4. Add 1/2 cup of hot broth to the rice, stirring constantly until the liquid is nearly absorbed.
  5. Continue adding broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until each addition is absorbed before adding more. This process should take about 18-20 minutes. The rice should be creamy and al dente.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1/3 cup of feta cheese, 1/4 cup of chopped parsley, and 1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese.
  7. Spoon the risotto into serving bowls. Top with the remaining 1/3 cup of feta cheese and freshly ground black pepper.
