Ingredients
| 4 |
cups chicken stock |
| 3 |
tablespoons unsalted butter |
| 1 |
cup finely chopped onion |
| 2 |
garlic cloves, minced |
| 1 |
cup arborio rice |
| 1 |
cup dry red wine |
| 1/3 |
cup frozen peas, defrosted, optional |
| 1/2 |
cup grated Parmesan cheese |
Directions
- Bring the broth to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cover the broth and keep it warm over very low heat.
- Melt the butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 8 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
- Stir in the rice and cook for about 2 minutes until the rice is toasted.
- Add the wine and stir until it is absorbed, about 1 minute.
- Add 3/4 cup of hot broth; simmer over medium-low heat until the liquid is absorbed, stirring often, about 6 minutes.
- Repeat, adding 3/4 cup of hot broth 2 more times, stirring often, about 12 minutes longer.
- At this point, the risotto can be made 4 hours ahead. Refrigerate the risotto (the rice will still be firm) and remaining broth, uncovered, until cool, then cover and keep them refrigerated until ready to proceed.
- Bring the remaining broth to a simmer, then cover and keep it warm over very low heat.
- Stir 3/4 cup of hot broth into the partially cooked risotto over medium heat until the broth is absorbed and the risotto is hot, about 3 minutes.
- Add the remaining broth and simmer until the rice is just tender and the mixture is creamy, about 5 minutes longer.
- Stir in the peas and parsley.
- Add the 1/2 cup of Parmesan.
