Basic Risotto

This recipe is on the back of the bag of Lundberg's white arborio, although I have made a few modifications for our taste, such as leaving out the onion. I recommend chicken broth instead of water because it adds a lot more flavor.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 1  cup  arborio white rice
• 1  tablespoon olive oil

Directions

1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
2. Add rice and stir to coat the rice with oil.
3. Add the wine and stir constantly until absorbed.
4. Add 1 cup (approx.) broth and stir until absorbed. This should take about 20 minutes.
5. Repeat step 4 until all broth has been added.
6. Stir in cheese and remove from heat.
7. Fresh herbs or vegetables can be added during the last 5 minutes of cooking if desired.
