Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Arborio rice
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
• 0.5 cups Dry white wine
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 small Shallots
• 2 units Garlic cloves
• 0.75 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 cups Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Finely dice the shallots and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir well to coat the grains in butter and oil. Toast the rice for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant.

Step 7

Pour in the white wine and stir, letting it simmer until almost fully absorbed, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Add the stock, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil and transfer to the preheated oven.

Step 10

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.

Step 11

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter, grated Parmesan cheese, and heavy cream until creamy and fully combined.

Step 12

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 13

Garnish the risotto with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
