Classic Risotto Recipe

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons shallots, minced
  • 5 tablespoons dry white wine
  • 1 ½ cups rice
  • 4 cups hot chicken broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Heat oil and butter in a large heavy saucepan. Add shallots and saute over medium heat until shallots are tender about 2 minutes. Add rice and stir until all grains are coated and slightly translucent, about 2 minutes. Add wine and stir over medium-high heat until all wine is absorbed. Add about 1 cup of hot broth to rice and stir constantly until almost all the broth is absorbed. Continue to add hot broth, one cup at a time, stirring until liquid is absorbed, before adding more broth. Use enough broth to cook the rice until it is just al dente. Remove from heat and stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano. Serves: 4-6
