Ingredients:- 1 ½ cups Arborio rice
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons truffle oil
- 1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- In a saucepan, heat the chicken or vegetable broth over low heat. Keep it warm while you prepare the risotto.
- In a separate large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the truffle oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and sauté until translucent.
- Add the Arborio rice to the pot and stir until the grains are well coated with the truffle oil and have a slightly translucent edge, about 2 minutes.
- Pour in the white wine and stir until it is fully absorbed by the rice.
- Begin adding the warm broth to the rice, one ladleful at a time. Allow the rice to absorb the broth before adding more. Stir the risotto frequently to help release the rice's natural starches, creating a creamy texture.
- Continue this process until the rice is al dente, about 18-20 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the risotto in individual bowls, garnished with fresh parsley and an extra drizzle of truffle oil.
