Olive Garden Risotto Ala Paesana

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 cups arborio rice
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 5 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
• salt & pepper, to taste
• fresh parsley, chopped (garnish)

Directions

1. 1

   Heat oil, add onions and cook 3 minutes or until onions are soft. Keep broth warm in a separate pot. Add rice to onions and stir for 2 minutes. Add white wine and let evaporate.

2. 2

   Add the broth, about 1 cup at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until each addition is almost completely absorbed by the rice. Continue to add broth until rice is creamy and cooked al dente.

3. 3

   Turn off heat. Add butter and Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine with rice/risotto. Transfer to large bowl. Garnish with parsley. Serve immediately. Finished risotto should be creamy and rice is firm.
