Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Arborio rice
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
- 0.5 cups Dry white wine
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the Arborio rice to the pan and stir to coat the grains in the oil, toasting them slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Pour in the dry white wine and cook for a few minutes, stirring, until most of the wine has evaporated.
Stir in the chicken or vegetable stock, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil. Transfer it to the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
Carefully remove the pan from the oven and uncover it. The risotto should be creamy and the liquid mostly absorbed.
Stir in the unsalted butter and grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and combined.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
