white wine

🥗Healthier: apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar adds acidity without alcohol.

1

Start by boiling vegetable broth with a little water and salt.

2

Cook the arborio rice in the boiling broth for 15-20 minutes until it absorbs all the liquids.

3

Sauté the aromatics separately, starting with onions in oil or butter until they make a gentle sound.

4

Add white wine to the sautéed onions and reduce it down to concentrate the flavor.

5

Add about 1/3 cup of broth to the rice and stir vigorously with a whisk to release starch and create a creamy sauce.

6

Taste the rice to check if it's cooked, then turn off the heat.

7

Stir in butter and cheese off the heat until melted and creamy.

8

Let the risotto rest for 5 minutes to prevent the rice from seizing up.
