Risotto is a very popular Italian rice dish made with rice. I am using Arborio which is medium grain rice with pearl like appearance. It has high starch content which allows it to absorb water while keeping a creamy texture idle for Risotto.
Ingredients:
1 cup Arborio rice
1 small onion finely chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
4 cups of chicken broth or vegetable broth.
1 cup of diced mushrooms
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste
Method:
In a sauce pan bring broth to a boil.
In other pan heat oil and saute onions till tender and translucent.Then add mushrooms and saute for a min. Now add rice and stir until coated evenly.
Then add heated broth 1 cup at a time and stir. let the rice absorb the broth then again add broth and stir. continue this process till the rice absorbs all the broth. Once the rice is cooked properly add butter, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper and mix well. garnish with some Parmesan cheese and serve hot.
