Basic Risotto


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 30ml (2 tbsp) butter
  • 15ml (1 tbsp) olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 500g (1lb) arborio rice
  • 250ml (1 cup) white wine
  • 1.25ℓ (5 cups) vegetable stock

Instructions

  1. Gently fry the onion in the butter and oil until translucent.
  2. Add the rice and stir until covered in oil in a large pot.
  3. Pour in the wine and let the rice simmer.
  4. Once the liquid has been soaked up, add a ladleful of stock to the pot. Only add more stock once the rice absorbed most of the liquid.
  5. Repeat this process until the stock is finished and the rice is cooked.
  6. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top to finish off the dish.
