Equipment
- Deep Skillet
- Small Pot
- Ladel or Measuring Cup
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- ½ white onion diced
- 1 Tbsp chopped garlic
- 2 cups arborio rice
- ¾ cup white wine
- 5 cups chicken broth i added another cup and a half of broth
- 1 cup grated parmesan
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat butter on the stove. Add onions and garlic and saute until the onions turn translucent-- about 5 minutes.
- Add the rice into the pot and stir for about 5 minutes, until the rice starts to toast. Do not allow the rice to burn.
- Add the white wine into the pan to deglaze. Allow the wine to reduce by half.
- Once your wine has reduced, add the chicken broth into the pot, ½ cup at a time. After each addition, stir the rice until the liquid is absorbed. Once the liquid is absorbed again, add another ½ cup liquid. Continue this process until the rice is cooked through.
- You know the rice is done when you run a wooden spoon through the center of the pot, and the rice slowly moves back to fill the space.
- Adding cheese may thicken your risotto a bit, so make sure it has a little extra liquid than you desire before adding the cheese. Once desired consistency is achieved, add the parmesan into the risotto.

Notes
Recipe Copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational or personal use only.
- Onion: White or yellow onion is best.
- Garlic: Fresh will give the best flavor and I highly recommend it for this recipe!
- White wine: If you do not like wine, feel free to substitute more broth instead.
- Chicken broth: You can use broth or stock. You can also substitute vegetable broth for a vegetarian option.
- The key to this dish is to be slow and steady. Don’t try to rush adding too much broth at a time or you will not be able to achieve the creamy, chewy texture you want. You also don’t want to overstir your rice. Take your time, stir as you add broth and enjoy the process.
- Arborio rice is thick and chewy. It is very important to this recipe.
