Ingredients

• 1 cup Arborio rice
• 2.5 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 small Shallot, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped shallot. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute, until fragrant and softened.

Step 2

Add the Arborio rice to the bowl and stir to ensure the rice grains are coated in the oil mixture.

Step 3

Pour in the dry white wine and microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes. Stir the rice to allow it to absorb the wine.

Step 4

Add 1.5 cups of chicken or vegetable broth to the bowl. Stir, then cover the bowl loosely with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap. Microwave on HIGH for 6 minutes.

Step 5

Stir the rice and add another 1 cup of broth. Cover again and microwave on HIGH for another 6 minutes.

Step 6

Check the rice for doneness. If it’s still too firm, add an additional 1/4 cup of broth and microwave in 2-minute intervals, stirring after each, until the rice is tender but slightly al dente.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the bowl from the microwave and immediately stir in the butter and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Let the risotto sit for 2 minutes to thicken slightly. Spoon into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired. Serve immediately.
