RISOTTO ALLA MILANESE - Vi svelo i trucchi della classica ricetta italiana

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

white wine

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic wine

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Non-alcoholic wine provides flavor without alcohol.

arborio rice

🥗Healthier: brown rice

💰Cheaper: long-grain rice

Brown rice is healthier but may alter texture.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and provides a similar richness.

Heat chicken broth in a saucepan over low heat.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted.

Add chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in arborio rice, coating it in the oil and butter for 1-2 minutes.

Pour in white wine, stirring until absorbed, about 2-3 minutes.

Gradually add warm chicken broth, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously.

Allow each addition of broth to be absorbed before adding the next, about 18-20 minutes total.

When rice is al dente, stir in mushrooms, peas, and asparagus, cooking until tender.

Remove from heat and stir in grated parmesan cheese, lemon zest, and chopped parsley.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
