Parm Risotto

I made risotto from scratch for the first time. It is SOOOOOO delicious.

1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup risotto (not precooked)
1/2 medium onion
1 1/2 tsp chopped garlic
2-3 cups chicken stock --use veggie stock if you dont do meat
1/4 cup FRESHLY grated Locatelli Parm cheese

1 tsp butter (optional)


add oil to pot.

add risotto and saute to light brown color

add garlic and onions saute for 1-2 mins

add 2 cups stock stir and cook covered about 35 mins

check FREQUENTLY

Add more stock as needed if pot gets dry

After 35 mins add the cheese and stir in to melt.

cook until rice is tender--mine cooked about 45 mins total.

I did not add butter but many people like the taste of butter added at the end when serving.

Enjoy!!
