Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large pot, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add 2 minced shallots and 2 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 1/2 cups arborio rice and stir to coat the grains with butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the rice is slightly toasted.
  3. Step 3: Pour in 1/2 cup white wine and stir until the liquid is absorbed.
  4. Step 4: Begin adding 4 cups chicken broth, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly. Wait until each addition is absorbed before adding the next. This should take about 18-20 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Once the rice is tender and creamy, stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Step 6: Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped parsley and serve immediately with additional Parmesan on top.

Can I substitute ingredients in Prime Video Ad-Free Risotto?
