Serve with Classic Beef Meatballs (page 4)

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 1/2 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion, finely chopped
2 cups arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon salt or more to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a medium pot over medium-high heat and lower the flame to a simmer.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the rice and continue to cook, stirring constantly, for 4 minutes. Add the white wine and salt and continue to cook, stirring vigorously, until the wine has completely evaporated. Add 1 cup of the chicken stock and continue to cook and stir vigorously. When the chicken stock has been almost completely absorbed, about 7 minutes, add another cup of the chicken stock and continue to cook, stirring constantly but not vigorously. When the chicken stock has been almost completely absorbed, add the remaining 2 1/2 cups chicken stock and continue to cook, for a total cooking time of about 25 minutes, stirring gently so that the rice does not stick.
  • Stir in the butter and Parmesan and mix to incorporate. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Transfer to a platter or serving plates and finish with a generous turn of the pepper mill.
