Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 32 ounces Chicken Stock
  • 1 heaping cup Arborio Rice
  • 2 tablespoons Grass-fed Butter
  • about 1 teaspoon Salt

Instruction

  • Heat the chicken stock in a pot until it is steaming. You don't need it to simmer, just steam.
  • In another pot, melt the butter over medium low heat. Stir frequently, and in less than one minute the butter will begin to brown. It is really easy to burn butter - so be careful. As soon as the butter starts to brown, add the risotto.
  • Let the risotto simmer in the butter, stirring frequently for 1 minute. You want the risotto to brown ever so slightly.
  • Use a ladle to spoon the warm broth over the risotto until the broth just covers the top of the risotto. Let slowly simmer, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until the rice absorbs all of the broth.
  • Pour broth over the rice, until it is just submerged. Let the broth simmer until it is all absorbed by the rice. Repeat this process adding broth a total of 3-4 times, adding salt as you go. Taste test the rice after adding broth three times, to see if you need to add it a forth time. You want the risotto to be soft, but with a little bit of chewiness in the center.
