Ingredients Needed
- 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons white truffle oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Preparation
Start by heating the broth in a saucepan and keep it warm on low heat. In a separate large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the Arborio rice to the onions and stir well to coat each grain with oil. Cook for 2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted. Pour in the white wine and stir until it is absorbed.
Begin adding the warm broth, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly. Wait until the liquid is mostly absorbed before adding the next ladleful. Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is creamy and al dente.
Remove the pan from heat. Stir in the butter, grated Parmesan, and white truffle oil. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Let it sit for a minute before serving.
Serving Tips
Garnish the risotto with extra Parmesan shavings and a drizzle of white truffle oil for an elegant presentation. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
This homemade truffle risotto pairs beautifully with a light white wine and a simple green salad. Your guests will be impressed by the sophisticated flavors and creamy texture of this dish.
