RISOTTO, WITH WHITE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Over medium heat melt the butter and soften the onion. Add the rice and stir with a wooden spoon to coat the grains with butter. Let rice cook three to four minutes, stirring frequently so that it will absorb the butter and turn opaque.
• Add the wine, stir, and bring to boil. Turn down heat.
• Add the broth a ladle at a time, and cook, stirring. Keep stirring and adding broth for 15 to 20 minutes. The rice will absorb the liquid. Make sure the broth is being absorbed and there is not too much liquid on top. The bottom of the pan should be cleaned.
• Test the rice for doneness. Season with salt. Keep tasting until the rice is done.
• Let the rice sit off heat for three to four minutes. Add the Parmesan. Spoon the rice onto individual plates and serve. Grate the truffles on top of individual servings and add freshly ground pepper to taste.
