Ingredients

  • 7 cups chicken stock homemade if possible
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup onions diced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prep: Little prep for this recipe. Dice your onion, grate your Parmesan cheese, and you are ready to go.
  2. Cook: In a large saucepan, heat the chicken stock, but don’t let it come to a boil. Just let it simmer.
  3. Heat the oil in a separate heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
  4. Add the onion and cook slowly until translucent.
  5. Stir in the rice until the rice grains are coated with the oil. This will keep them from sticking together.
  6. Cook for a couple of minutes until the rice gives off a nutty smell.
  7. Start by adding 1 cup of hot stock, stirring continuously.
  8. As the rice absorbs the stock, add ½ cup of stock at a time, stirring continuously until all the stock is used. (15-20 minutes)
  9. Remove from heat, and stir in the wine, saffron threads, butter, and Parmesan cheese.
  10. Serve immediately.
