- 60gr Butter
- 30gr Olive Oil
- 1/2 whole Large Yellow Onion, Diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 2 cups Arborio Rice, Uncooked
- 8 whole Sun-dried Tomatoes Packed In Oil, Drained And Minced
- 1 cup Dry White Wine (optional)
- 7 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
- Salt As Needed
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1 cup Parmesan, Freshly Grated (maybe less)
- Fresh Basil, Chiffonade (optional)
Heat broth (note: it's important the broth be low sodium) in a saucepan or in a microwave safe pitcher. Set aside.
Heat butter and olive oil in a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
Add dry rice. Stir to coat and cook for 3 minutes, stirring gently.
Pour in wine. Stir and cook over medium-low heat until most of the liquid is absorbed. Add in minced sundried tomatoes and stir.
Then begin adding broth, one cup at a time, stirring gently while the rice absorbs the liquid each time. Repeat this until the rice is done---it usually takes between 6 and 8 cups of broth. The rice should have a slight bite to it, but not be crunchy at all.
Remove from heat, then stir in Parmesan and heavy cream. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Serve as a main dish with a salad, or as a side dish with steak, chicken, or fish. Delicious!
