Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Special equipment needed:
- Large saucepan
- Wooden spoon
- Ladle
- Grater
Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a large saucepan, heat the broth over medium heat until it comes to a simmer.
2. In another large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened.
3. Add the Arborio rice to the onion and garlic mixture and stir to coat the rice with the butter.
4. Add the white wine to the rice and stir until it is absorbed.
