Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩‍🍳 method for this recipe

• 60ml olive oil
• 2 medium onions, finely diced
• Garlic to taste, finely diced
• ½ head of celery, finely diced
• 400g arborio rice
• 250ml dry white wine
• 1 litre hot vegetable stock
• Seasoning
• 80g butter
• 130g Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Method

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan and slowly fry the onions, garlic and celery until soft.
2. Increase the heat add the rice and fry, stirring constantly for about a minute until it looks slightly translucent.
3. Add the wine, and still stirring, cook until it has been absorbed by the rice.
4. Next, add a pinch of salt and add a ladle of the hot stock.
5. Reduce the heat so that the liquid simmers quite vigorously, but does not boil.
6. As the rice absorbs the stock, keep adding more, a ladleful at a time, constantly stirring the rice gently.
7. When all the stock has been used and absorbed, the rice should be soft, but still be slightly al dente.
8. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and the Parmesan and check seasoning.
9. Cover and leave to rest before serving.

Chef's notes

Parmesan cheese is quite salty, so do not be heavy handed with the salt.
