Instructions to make Basic Risotto:
- Heat the butter until foaming over medium heat, in a heavy bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven
- Add the onion and 1/2 tsp salt, and saute until just translucent (blonde).
- Add the garlic, and saute another 1 minute until just aromatic. If you are using other aromatics, add them now.
- Add the rice, and continue sauteeing until the rice grains are coated with the butter, and look translucent.
- Add the wine or vermouth. Let it come to a simmer and cook until the wine is evaporated. The add 1 cup of hot stock and the other 1/2 tsp salt.
- Simmer, stirring every few minutes while it cooks. Keep adding stock in 1/2 cup increments, replenishing it as the stock is absorbed by the rice. The heat should be just high enough to keep the liquid at a constant simmer.
- Check the rice for doneness once you have added 3 cups of stock. If it is still underdone in the centre, add one final 1/2 cup stock.
- When the rice is just cooked through, remove the risotto from the heat. Taste and adjust the salt and any seasonings, if needed. Add final 2 T butter and optional cheese, stir in until melted and nice and creamy. Texture should be creamy and thick enough to mound up slightly, but not stiff.
