Recipe Italian Risotto

Ingredients :

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced or mashed
• 1 cup Arborio rice (or uncooked white rice)
• 1 tbs olive oil
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 4.5 cups chicken broth (hot)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 3/4 cup frozen peas, (completely thawed)
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Method :

1. Have all ingredients prepared, measured, and ready to use. Like they say, risotto waits for no one.
2. Heat butter in a medium sauce pan on medium heat. When foam subsides, add onion and celery, sauté until onion is soft, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
3. Stir in rice; add a bit of olive oil, sauté for 2-3 minutes. Keep stirring until slightly toasted.
4. Add the wine and stir this a few times. Heat until the liquid is almost evaporated.
5. Add 1 cup of the hot broth into the rice mixture and stir. Add the salt & pepper and thyme. Stir often until liquid is absorbed.
6. Add more broth each time in stages by one (1) cup, stirring routinely, just when the broth is absorbed, add the next, until all the broth is used. Cooking time varies, ~ 30-40 minutes.
7. With rice now just tender, add the peas, and mix. Remove from heat and add the parmesan cheese and mix thoroughly. Transfer the creamy rice to a bowl or plates, and enjoy.
