Risotto has become a staple dish in our household, due to its versatility, and simplicity. It is relatively easy to make if you have the right ingredients, and you can treat it…

Directions

1
Melt the butter in a small pot, and add the onion, sauteing until onion is soft, but not brown.
2
Add garlic and continue to saute for about 1-2 more minutes
3
Add the rice to the pan and stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes
4
Add the white wine to the pot to deglaze, stirring the rice until the wine is mostly absorbed.
5
Add the salt, pepper, and thyme and stir well until combined with the rice
6
Add the chicken stock approximately 1 cup at a time, waiting each time for the stock to be almost entirely absorbed before adding the next cup of stock
7
Once the last of the chicken stock is absorbed, add the reggiano parmesan and stir to combine with the rice.

Another great variation is to combine risotto with classic Italian Wedding Soup. Simply add the meatballs from our recipe (3-4 meatballs per serving), spinach (3-4 cups), and a teaspoon of lemon zest, and serve.
