It's not hard to make this decadent, creamy Italian rice dish.

To complete this How-To you will need:

3-4 c. chicken broth
2 tbsp. olive oil
½ medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, diced
1 c. Arborio rice
½ c. dry white wine
2 tbsp. butter
¼ c. Parmesan cheese
A medium saucepan
A heavy pot
A ladle

Step 1: Heat the broth

Bring the chicken broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan.

Step 2: Saute the onion and garlic

Add the onion and garlic to the olive oil in a separate pot, and saute over medium-low heat until it is fragrant and translucent.

Tip: Use a roomy, heavy pot that distributes heat evenly, such as a stock pot or Dutch oven.

Step 3: Add the rice

Add the rice to the onion and garlic. Lightly toast it, stirring constantly over medium heat for about three minutes.

Tip: Do not brown the rice. It should become translucent around the edges but remain white in the center.

Step 4: Add the wine

Add the wine, and stir and cook until nearly all of it is absorbed by the rice.

Step 5: Add the broth

Add a ladleful of the hot broth to the rice, stir and cook until the broth is absorbed, and then add more stock. Repeat, one ladleful at a time, until the broth is nearly gone or the rice stops absorbing it.

Tip: Add more ingredients for flavor: herbs, vegetables, seafood, poultry, or meat.

Step 6: Cook until tender

Continue stirring and cooking until the rice is tender. Add more stock or water if the risotto begins to dry out.

Step 7: Add butter and serve

Remove from the heat, and stir in the butter and parmesan cheese for added creaminess. Now dig in!

@MyDaisyh - the 28 thumbs up for this comment is comical. She is right. The little plants called "HERBS" is pronounced "ERBS" without an "H" commonly in the UK. Only in the US is it pronounced 'H'erb. It is like a Canadian or British person spelling the word "color" with a "u" : colour. It all depends on one's influence and or culinary background. You guys gotta get out more.

[BiggestOfDaddies]

For the record, that's a "sweat" on the onions (low heat - no sizzle - no browning) no a saute.
