Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Arborio rice
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 4 cups Chicken stock (gluten-free)
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, bring the gluten-free chicken stock to a simmer. Keep warm over low heat.

Step 2

In a large skillet or saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the Arborio rice and cook, stirring constantly, until the rice is lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Pour in the dry white wine and cook, stirring frequently, until almost completely absorbed by the rice.

Step 7

Begin adding the warmed chicken stock to the rice, one ladleful at a time, stirring frequently. Allow each addition of stock to be absorbed before adding the next.

Step 8

Continue to add stock until the rice is cooked to al dente, and the risotto has a creamy consistency, about 18-20 minutes total.

Step 9

Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 10

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately to enjoy its creamy perfection.
