Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter split into 2
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 3/4 cups Aborio rice
- 1 cup white wine
- 4 cups hot chicken stock
- salt + fresh ground pepper
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese I like to use the big shaved flakes of parmesan
Instructions
If you have a crockpot that has a saute function you can do this step there, but if you don't just do this step in a skillet.
- Melt half of the butter, then add the olive oil, and saute the onion and garlic for about 3 minutes, until the onion has softened.
- Add the rice, mix well and cook for 2 - 3 minutes until the rice is glossy.
- Stir in the wine, cover and simmer for 2 - 3 minutes, or until the wine has been absorbed.
- Stir in the hot chicken stock (I just microwaved mine for a few minutes), mix well and cover.
- Cook in the crockpot on the Risotto setting which will take about 20 - 30 minutes. Or on the high setting for about 20 minutes.
- Once the risotto is done, stir in the remaining butter and half of the parmesan cheese.
- Top and serve with the remaining parmesan cheese.
