Ingredients
  

Base
  • 1 cup arborio rice
  • 1 onion or shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth low‑sodium
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated plus more for serving
  • 2 tbsp butter salted
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

  1. Warm the broth and keep it at a simmer.
  2. Sauté onion and garlic in oil for 2 minutes until translucent.
  3. Add arborio rice, toast for 1 minute until glossy.
  4. Pour in wine, let it bubble and evaporate (~30 seconds).
  5. Add broth one ladle at a time, stirring until almost absorbed (≈18 minutes).
  6. Remove from heat, stir in butter and Parmesan until creamy and glossy. Season to taste.

Notes

Use warm broth, and don’t skip the off‑heat cheese swirl for perfect creaminess.
