Parmesan risotto
(2)
40 min
This simple risotto is a perfect accompaniment to loads of mains - prawns, scallops, lamb chops. It also makes a nice first course. For something really special, add shaved truffles on top. This risotto doesn't reheat well, so prepare it just before serving.

- Bring the stock to the boil and keep at a low simmer, covered.
- In a large pan, heat the olive oil and add the onion. Sweat the onions over low heat for 3 to 5 minutes - don't allow them to take any colour.
- Add the rice and mix well. Pour in the white wine and cook over medium heat till most of it evaporates, about 3 minutes.
- Add a ladle of hot stock to the rice, stirring well. After about 3 minutes, after most of the stock has been absorbed, add another ladle of stock. Repeat in this fashion until the rice is tender and cooked through, about 20 minutes.
- Add the Parmesan and mix well. Taste the risotto and add salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately.

Really delicious. I was surprised to find that you can really taste the parmesan. I've already been asked to make it again! - 27 Dec 2010
