This rice is like the real risotto, but takes much less time to prepare, if you prefer it more cheesy taste then add in more Parmesan cheese, I advise that you really be careful when adding the salt as the Parmesan already has a lot of salt content, but load up on freshly ground black pepper, this rice will become a favorite of yours, it is so good - this is not a recipe for a fluffy rice, it is more on the creamy style similar to risotto, I most always add about 1 heaping tablespoon of minced fresh garlic in with the chopped onion but that is optional, really you can add in whatever you like to this, I have even added in peas :) Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter (no subs please!) |
1 small onion, finely chopped |
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic (optional) |
3/4 cup short grain arborio rice |
1 (14 ounce) can good quality chicken broth |
1/2 cup water |
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1/2 teaspoon dried italian seasoning |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Add in the chopped onion and fresh garlic (if using); saute for about 3-4 minutes, or until soft but not brown.
3. Add in the rice; cook/stir for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
4. Add in the remaining ingredients; bring to a boil.
5. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until all of the liquid is absorbed, and the rice is tender.
6. Delicious!
