Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
  • 2 cups Arborio rice
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 3 1/2 cups chicken stock, hot
  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for sprinkling

Directions

In a 12 to 14-inch skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened and translucent but not browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Once the onions are translucent add the rice and stir with a wooden spoon until toasted and opaque, 3 to 4 minutes.

Add the wine to the toasting rice, and then add a 4 to 6-ounce ladle of stock and cook, stirring, until it is absorbed. Continue adding the stock a ladle at a time, waiting until the liquid is absorbed before adding more. Cook until the rice is tender and creamy and yet still a little al dente, about 15 minutes. Stir in the butter and cheese until well mixed. Portion risotto into 4 warmed serving plates, serving with extra cheese.

    Good Basic Recipe

    I used this recipe the first time making risotto and still use it. I needed at least twice the amount of chicken broth... stated, but had no problems other than that. For my personal taste, I always add garlic, pancetta, and whatever else I feel like that day.Read more

    A good first try

    This is not bad for a first attempt at a risotto recipe. I added a bit more wine, and a LOT more cheese. It still isn't as... flavorful as I would like, but all in all it's not bad at all.Read more
