steps 1, 2, and 3

Use this basic recipe and add your favorite ingredients to invent your own risotto. The recipe serves four as a main dish, or more if served as a first course.

1

In a medium-sized saucepan coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat (olive oil may be substituted).

   
2

Sauté 1 large, finely chopped onion for about 5 minutes or until the onion softens and begins to turn brown.

   
3

Add 4 cloves of finely crushed garlic and 1 cup of Arborio rice. Sauté 2 to 3 minutes until the rice is coated with butter and heated through; do not allow the garlic to brown.

   
4

Pour in 1/2 cup of white wine and cook, stirring until the wine evaporates and the mixture is almost dry.

   
5

Stir in 1/2 cup of chicken or vegetable broth and continue stirring for 3 to 5 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Continue adding broth to the rice in the same manner, one-half cup at a time, stirring constantly until all of the liquid is absorbed.

   
6

Remove from heat and finish with 1/2 cup of Italian grating cheese or add any vegetables or meat if desired. Serve immediately.
