RISOTTO MILANESE Picture of Risotto Milanese recipe

This typical Milan recipe is a perfect base for risotto dishes.

5 minutes preparation + 20 minutes cooking
1 serve of vegies in this recipe

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 ½ cups Arborio rice
½  cup white wine
6 cups chicken stock, hot
60g grated Parmesan cheese

In a large heavy saucepan heat the oil and cook onion and garlic until softened but not coloured. Add rice and stir until it ‘crackles’, approximately 1-2 minutes. Add the wine and about half a cup of stock at a time, stirring constantly and adding more when the liquid has absorbed. Continue until rice is tender and all stock has been absorbed. It should be a creamy consistency, neither dry nor ‘soupy’. Remove from heat and stir in cheese.
Serves 4.
