Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup arborio rice
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 to 4 cups chicken stock, 1 quart size box, available on soup aisle of the market
1/4 to 1/3 cup grated Parmigiano, a generous handful
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 cup tiny frozen peas

Directions

Heat a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil and garlic and onion and saute, stirring constantly 2 to 3 minutes then add rice and season with a little salt and pepper. Cook another minute or so then add wine and let it completely absorb, 30 seconds. Add about 1 cup chicken stock and stir. Reduce heat a bit to medium. Stir often and continue adding a half cup of liquid each time liquid becomes completely absorbed. Cook 22 minutes, using as much stock as is necessary to result in creamy-consistency rice with a bite to it.

When rice is cooked to desired consistency, remove from heat and stir in cheese, parsley and peas and stir to combine and to heat peas through.

The perfect side dish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I absolutely love this risotto! It is very easy and tastes great! I make this at least twice a month, since the ingredients... are easy to have on hand. (I omit the parsley if I do't have any) It also goes great with any meat dish!Read more

Finally Perfect Risotto
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have tried to make risotto for year and always I was under the impression that it was difficult. That is what everyone... said! Finally, Rachel Ray tells us the truth and shows us that it's not difficult, you just need to pay attention to it. This is one of my favorite risotto recipes. It goes with so many things and is totally easy to make.Read more

Yum-O!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've made this rice dish several times, and each time it just gets better! I am eating it as I type and the consistency is... fantastic. I recommend using all of the chicken broth so it gets a little creamy.Read more

Made it yesterday with Chicken Francese recipe (by Tyler Florence). Worked really well together. I held the cheese to make... it healthier and it was still delicious!Read more
