Basic Risotto Recipe

	Mrslights / All my dishes 1 year, 12 months ago Basic risotto recipe; I sometimes add seasonal veggies. Risotto must be stirred constantly, as the liquid absorbs. Cooking times may vary. Can serve 4 as a main dish, 8 or more as a side. Prep:15m Cook:30m Servings:4	Mrslights

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

1 onion, diced

1 cup Arborio rice

½ cup white wine

2 cups chicken stock

pinch of saffron

1 tbsp butter

2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

In a saucepan, heat the olive oil for 1 minute on med-high, then add onions. Saute until soft, approximately 2 minutes.

Add the rice and toast for 2 minutes. Add the white wine and stir until creamy and almost all absorbed. At the same time, heat the stock and add the saffron to steep for 2-3 minutes.

Add the stock and saffron to the rice, a half cup at a time. After each addition, stir until the rice absorbs most of the liquid, then add the next half cup of liquid.

To finish, stir in the butter and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to serve.

Note: the ideal texture for risotto is al dente. If you like softer rice, you may want to add more liquid by the ¼ cup.
