Almost Hands-Free Risotto With Parmesan And Herbs America'S Test Kitchen

• 5 cups low-sodium chicken broth 1 1/2 cups water 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 large onion , chopped fine (about 1 1/2 cups)
• table salt 1 medium garlic clove , minced or pressed through a garlic press (about 1 teaspoon)
• 2 cups Arborio rice 1 cup dry white wine 2 ounces grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 cup)
• 1 teaspoon juice from 1 lemon
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives ground black pepper

1. 1. Bring broth and water to boil in large saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low to maintain gentle simmer.
2. 2. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in large Dutch oven over medium heat. When butter has melted, add onion and 3/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring frequently, until onion is softened but not browned, 4 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add rice and cook, stirring frequently, until grains are translucent around edges, about 3 minutes.
3. 3. Add wine and cook, stirring constantly, until fully absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir 5 cups hot broth mixture into rice; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until almost all liquid has been absorbed and rice is just al dente, 16 to 19 minutes, stirring twice during cooking.
4. 4. Add 3/4 cup hot broth mixture and stir gently and constantly until risotto becomes creamy, about 3 minutes. Stir in Parmesan. Remove pot from heat, cover, and let stand 5 minutes. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons butter, lemon juice, parsley, and chives; season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, add up to 1/2 cup remaining broth mixture to loosen texture of risotto. Serve immediately.
