Prep Time 2 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients  

  • 4 Cups chicken broth (preferably low sodium)
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp onion, minced
  • 1 Cup Arborio Rice
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1/4 Cup parmesan cheese

Instructions 

  • In a large pot, bring the chicken stock to a simmer (do not bring it to a boil or the liquid will start to evaporate)
  • In a 12-14 ounce skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.
  • Add the onions and lightly saute for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  • Add the rice. Using a wooden spoon, stir the grains until toasty and opaque.
  • Add 1/2 cup of the hot stock to the rice and cook until it’s absorbed.
  • Continue adding stock 1/2 cup at a time waiting to add more stock until all the liquid is absorbed and the risotto is tender and creamy. This process should take about 20 minutes.
  • When all of the liquid is absorbed add the butter and cheese and continue stirring until combined.
  • Cool to room temperature for little ones and serve (if adults are going to eat it, dig in right away!)
