Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 -8 cups homemade chicken stock or 6 -8 cups low-sodium chicken stock, skimmed of fat
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped shallot (about 2)
1 cup arborio rice or 1 cup carnaroli rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 -6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus extra for grating or shaving
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat stock in saucepan over medium heat; keep at a low simmer.
  • Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add shallots to oil, and cook, stirring, until translucent.
  • Add rice, and cook, stirring, until rice begins to make a clicking sound like glass beads, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add wine to rice mixture.
  • Cook, stirring, until wine is absorbed by rice.
  • Using a ladle, add 3/4 cup hot stock to rice.
  • Using a wooden spoon, stir rice constantly, at a moderate speed.
  • When rice mixture is just thick enough to leave a clear wake behind the spoon, add another 3/4 cup stock.
  • Continue adding stock 3/4 cup at a time and stirring constantly until rice is mostly translucent but still opaque in the center.
  • Rice should be al dente but not crunchy.
  • As rice nears doneness, watch carefully and add smaller amounts of liquid to make sure it does not overcook.
  • The final mixture should be thick enough that grains of rice are suspended in liquid the consistency of heavy cream.
  • It will thicken slightly when removed from heat.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Stir in butter, parmesan cheese, and parsley; season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the mixture among four shallow bowls, mounding risotto in the center, and grate or shave additional parmesan over risotto.
  • Serve immediately.
