Red Wine Risotto


Prep time: 5 minutes       Cook time: 25 minutes     Total: 30 minutes    Servings: 5

 Ingredients 

6 cloves of garlic 

2 medium onions (chopped) 

500ml of chicken stock 

750ml of red wine 

75g of butter 

2 tablespoons of olive oil 

2 cups of rice 

⅓ cup of grated parmesan cheese

4 tablespoons of parsley 


Preparation 

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium low heat, add the butter and olive oil. 
  2. Once the butter has melted, sweat the onions down (about 1 minute) and add the garlic. 
  3. Stir for a few seconds, add the rice and mix well. 
  4. Now, start adding the chicken stock and the wine alternately - about ¼ cup of each - stirring every time. Allow the liquid to be completely absorbed before adding more. 
  5. Once you've added the last ¼ cup, close the lid and allow the rice to absorb it. 
  6. Next, mix in the parmesan (leave a little to garnish). 
  7. Garnish with some parmesan and parsley and serve!
