Parmesan Risotto Recipe

Risotto is one of those dishes that seams fancy but isn't complex at all. While the traditional Italian rice dish is prepared with short-grained starchy rice called arborio rice, it can easily be made with a variety of additions for a more unique spin. Here's my recipe for Parmesan Risotto.

Parmesan Risotto

Ingredients:

  • 1½ cups arborio rice
  • 1 qt. chicken stock
  • ½ cup dry white wine or vermouth
  • 1 medium shallot, finely chopped (can substitute for ½ of a small onion)
  • 3 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 cup fresh Parmesan cheese, grated
  • salt and pepper to taste

Parmesan Risotto Recipe

Directions

Heat the chicken stock in the microwave or on the stovetop. Set aside.

In a saucepan or sauté pan, heat 1 tbsp. unsalted butter and olive oil. Add  the finely chopped onion. Cook the butter, oil, and onion until the onion starts to become translucent. Add the rice and stir briskly, making sure to coat the rice with the butter mixture. Sauté the rice for about 2 minutes, until you notice a slight nutty aroma, making sure the rice doesn't become toasted or brown. Add the white wine to the rice mixture and stir until it is absorbed.

Add a ladle of the hot chicken stock to the rice mixture and stir until the stock is absorbed. When the rice begins to look dry again, add another ladle of stock and stir until the stock is absorbed. Repeat this ladling process until all of the stock has been added to the rice mixture. Make sure to stir continually so you don't scorch the rice. The rice should start to look creamy.
Total cooking time for risotto should be 20–30 minutes. The risotto is done when it's al dente.
Stir in the remaining butter and about 1/4 cup of the cheese and stir until blended.
Serve and top with freshly grated parmesan cheese.

Need a wine pairing?

Try a a light creamy Chardonnay (or a White Burgundy),or a Pinot Bianco would pair nicely with this rich, creamy savory dish. If you want read, try a Pinot Noir or a Barolo.

      It’s labor intensive because you can’t let it burn, but definitely easy to make overall.

    I’ve always wanted to try risotto, and this sounds perfect. I love rice and Parmesan. The shallot is a nice tough.
