Classic Risotto is a creamy and comforting Italian dish made with arborio rice slowly simmered in broth, enhanced with onions, white wine, butter, and Parmesan cheese. It’s an elegant, versatile meal perfect for both everyday dinners and special occasions.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth, kept warm
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Warm the broth in a saucepan and keep it at a gentle simmer throughout the cooking process.
  2. In a large pan, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add Arborio rice and stir constantly for 1–2 minutes to lightly toast the grains.
  4. Pour in the white wine and stir until fully absorbed.
  5. Add warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until the liquid is absorbed before adding more.
  6. Continue adding broth and stirring for 18–20 minutes, until the rice is al dente and creamy.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use warm broth to maintain consistent cooking temperature.
  • Stirring often releases starch for a creamier risotto.
  • Customize with vegetables, herbs, or proteins as desired.
  • Use high-quality Parmesan for best flavor.
