Low-Maintenance Risotto
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- salt
- pepper
- 1/2 onion medium, diced
- 1 cup arborio rice
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 3 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 16 ounces mushrooms sauteed, optional - or swap in your favorite veggie
- Melt 2 tbsp. of the butter in a large dutch-oven style pot over medium heat. Add in the onion and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add in the rice and stir well, for about 2 minutes, then add in the wine and simmer until the wine is absorbed. Add half the broth and simmer, only stirring once, cooking until it is absorbed (about 10 minutes).
- Add in the remaining broth and stir occasionally as it simmers (just to keep it from sticking) for another 8-10 minutes until it is tender and creamy.
- If the rice seems dry or isn't cooked through, just add a little more broth and continue to simmer until it reaches the texture you want.
- Take the risotto off the heat and stir in the Parmesan and remaining tbsp. of butter. Serve hot, topped with mushrooms or your favorite sauteed or roasted seasonal veggie.
