Introduction

I use this risotto base to start and add any variety of veggies and/or meat. If you aren't adding any additional ingredients, omit the olive oil. I added mushrooms, red pepper and butternut squash last night. Hearty and delicious. Vegetable stock works well too. I use this risotto base to start and add any variety of veggies and/or meat.

Ingredients

    * *Arborio Rice (Risotto Rice), Dry, Uncooked, 2 cup (remove)
    * *Fresh Sweet Onion (1 Medium Raw), 1 serving (remove)
    * Butter, salted, 1 tbsp (remove)
    * Olive Oil, 1 tbsp (remove)
    * Chicken Broth, 4 cup (8 fl oz) (remove)
    * White Wine, 4 fl oz (remove)
    * Milk, 1%, .25 cup (remove)

Directions

Melt butter and olive oil in pan and add onions. Saute a few minutes and add any other veggies or meat you wish. Once slightly softened, add the rice. Mix to coat and stir until rice becomes a little translucent. Add the wine and cook down. Heat the broth and add one cup at a time until it is absorbed-about 20 minutes. Keep stirring and keep an eye on it! The rice will get creamy and soft when cooked. Add the cheese and milk and serve warm. Makes about 8 servings.
