THE ONLY BASIC RISOTTO RECIPE YOU'LL EVER NEED
There's a reason so many restaurants put risotto on their menus: It's not a dish most people attempt to cook at home. Risotto has an earned reputation for being fussy. This easy risotto recipe requires a attention and stirring, but at its core, it's really just rice and broth. And when those two simple ingredients come together, they create a creamy, almost magical dish that's well worth the effort. With a solid formula, like the one below, you'll be able to tackle any risotto recipe and have a gorgeous meal on the table in about 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Bring stock to a simmer in a saucepan over medium. Reduce heat and keep warm.
- Melt the butter and heat the oil in a large skillet or wide-bottomed pot. Add the rice; stir to coat all the grains, 1 minute.
- Add 1 ladle of broth (½ cup to ¾ cup), stir, and leave it alone until broth is nearly absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes. (Run a wooden spoon through it; rice should slowly fill in the channel.)
- Stir, add another ladle of broth, and stir again. Cook undisturbed until the broth is absorbed, 3 minutes. Repeat until about 1 ladle of broth remains, 15 to 18 minutes of total cook time for the rice. Turn off heat.
- Add salt, remaining broth, and cheese. Stir gently for 2 minutes. Serve immediately in warmed bowls, with more grated cheese over top, if desired.

Steps:
- Pick through the rice to remove any stones or foreign matter, but do not wash the rice before cooking.
- Using a large skillet with a heavy bottom, heat the olive oil over low heat and saute or "sweat" the onions until translucent, being careful not to allow them to color or brown at all. Add the arborio rice, stir to coat with the olive oil, and saute with the onions to toast each grain of rice, about 7 minutes. This toasting process adds the chewy, al dente quality that attracts so many people to risotto.
- Once the rice is lightly toasted, add the white wine slowly, stirring with a wooden spoon. (A wooden spoon is always preferable when making risotto, as a metal spoon tends to cut or injure the grains of rice. Constant stirring should be avoided for the same reason.)
- Preheat the chicken stock just to the boiling point, then have it ready at stoveside. After the rice has absorbed the white wine and the skillet is nearly dry, add one cup of chicken stock, stirring
- occasionally, and cook over very low heat until the stock is absorbed by the rice. Continue adding the stock, a cupful at a time, until all the stock has been absorbed. (Adding the liquid in stages, instead of all at once, allows the grains of rice to expand more fully, adding to the risotto's creamy texture.) Once the rice has been added to the pan, the entire cooking process will take about 17 to 20 minutes.
- After all of the liquid has been added, and the rice is chewy yet fully cooked, with a creamy texture; add the butter, Parmesan cheese, and the heavy cream. Stir to combine all the ingredients and serve immediately.
SIMPLE RISOTTO
Steps:
- In a large saucepan heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until tender. Stir in garlic and cook until aroma is released. Add rice and cook for 1 minute. Add wine and stir until all the liquid is absorbed. Stirring continuously add in 1/2 cup stock at a time. Do not add next 1/2 cup until the previous one has been absorbed. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and pepper.
