Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 3 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In an oven-safe medium pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat on the stovetop.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the rice to toast slightly.
Pour in the white wine and stir, letting it simmer until mostly absorbed, about 2 minutes.
Add the chicken or vegetable broth, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine.
Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil and transfer to the preheated oven.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the broth is mostly absorbed and the rice is tender.
Carefully remove the pot from the oven (it will be hot!) and remove the lid.
Stir in the butter and grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the risotto becomes creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
