Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Arborio rice
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups Chicken stock (gluten-free)
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the gluten-free chicken stock to a simmer. Keep warm over low heat.
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the Arborio rice and cook, stirring constantly, until the rice is lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
Pour in the dry white wine and cook, stirring frequently, until almost completely absorbed by the rice.
Begin adding the warmed chicken stock to the rice, one ladleful at a time, stirring frequently. Allow each addition of stock to be absorbed before adding the next.
Continue to add stock until the rice is cooked to al dente, and the risotto has a creamy consistency, about 18-20 minutes total.
Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the grated Parmesan cheese.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately to enjoy its creamy perfection.
