Ingredients:
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Preparation:
1. Prepare the Broth
In a medium saucepan, heat the broth over medium heat until simmering. Once simmering, reduce heat to low to keep warm. This will be used to gradually add to the risotto as it cooks.
Temperature: medium to low
2. Sauté the Onion and Garlic
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Temperature: medium
Time: 5 minutes
3. Toast the Rice
Add the Arborio rice to the pot with the onion and garlic, stirring to coat the rice in the oil. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the rice is slightly toasted.
Temperature: medium
Time: 2 minutes
4. Deglaze with White Wine
Pour in the white wine and stir constantly until the liquid is mostly absorbed by the rice. This step will add a depth of flavor to the risotto.
Temperature: medium
Time: 2 minutes
5. Add the Broth
Using a ladle, add a cup of warm broth to the pot with the rice. Stir constantly until the liquid is absorbed. Continue adding broth, one cup at a time, stirring frequently, until the rice is creamy and cooked to al dente.
Temperature: medium
Time: 18-20 minutes
6. Finish the Risotto
Once the rice is cooked to your desired consistency, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed. The risotto should be creamy and slightly loose in texture.
Temperature: low
Time: 2 minutes

To serve, ladle the creamy risotto into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. This dish pairs well with a glass of white wine and a side salad for a complete meal. Enjoy the ultimate comfort food experience with GM Pot’s Creamy Risotto!
