This recipe is for basic risotto. You can add a variety of extras toward the end of the recipe (peas, mushrooms, asparagus, etc.). Ingredients:
1 cup arborio rice |
2 1/2 cups chicken stock |
1/2 cup white wine |
1 large onion |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 tablespoon fresh mint |
1/4 cup heavy cream |
1/3 cup parmesan cheese |
1 teaspoon sea salt |
1 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper |
Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a medium sauce pot. Add the onion, which has been finely chopped (I generally puree the onion in the food processor ahead of time). Cook until most of the water from the onion has evaporated (about 5 minute).
2. Add the arborio rice, the wine and 1/2 cup of the chicken stock. Cook until most of the liquid is absorbed. Continue to add the remainder of the stock in 1/2 cup inrements as the previously added stock is absorbed. Before adding the last 1/2 cup of stock, add the mint, finely chopped (optional).
3. When all of the stock has been added and mostly absorbed, add the cream and parmesean cheese. Add salt and pepper to your personal taste.
