Perfect Rissoto Recipe
Risotto is a creamy and flavorful Italian dish made from arborio rice, broth, parmesan cheese, butter, and various other ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 cup arborio rice
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 medium shallot peeled and finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 8 oz mushrooms (227g)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp white wine
- parmesan cheese
- parsley
Instructions
- Warm your chicken stock in a large saucepan, keeping it hot but not boiling.
- In another large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped shallots and sliced mushrooms, cooking them until they're soft and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic and butter, sautéing until fragrant for 2-3 minutes.
- Add a cup of Arborio rice to the pot. Cook the rice for a few minutes until it's well-coated in oil and looks slightly translucent around the edges.
- Season with salt and pepper, then pour in the white wine, stirring gently until mostly absorbed.
- Gradually add chicken broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow each addition to be mostly absorbed before adding more. This should take about 18-20 minutes, resulting in creamy but al dente rice.
- Once cooked to your liking, remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese to taste. Garnish with extra Parmesan and fresh parsley.
- Serve the risotto immediately for the best texture and flavor.
