Risotto is a classic Italian dish that has earned a place on tables around the world. Its creaminess and versatility make it perfect for both a family meal and a special occasion. In this risotto recipe, you'll learn to prepare it simply, with basic ingredients like rice, white wine, and vegetable broth.

Originating from northern Italy, risotto is characterized by its creamy texture, achieved through the release of starch from the rice during cooking.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Chop the onion, garlic and pepper into very small cubes, then put the onion in a pot along with a little oil and butter and cover it with a lid. The onion will start to sweat and become transparent (keep in mind that the onion should not be caramelized). Add the garlic and bell pepper.

  2. 2

    Add the rice to and stir. When the pot is very hot, add a glass of white wine and wait two minutes until the alcohol evaporates.

  3. 3

    Pour in some of the vegetable broth, which should be warm. Once you add it, count 18 minutes until rice is ready. If during the process, you notice that the risotto is starting to dry out, add a little more hot broth.

  4. 4

    Place 1 tablespoon of butter and stir to melt and cream the butter, taking advantage of the temperature of the rice.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of grated cheese over the risotto, stir, cover and let it rest for 1 minute before serving.
