Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
4 cloves roasted garlic, mashed into a paste
4 leaves fresh sweet basil
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 shallot, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups Arborio rice
¼ cup dry white wine
¼ cup half-and-half
¼ cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

Steps:

  • Combine chicken broth, chives, roasted garlic, and basil in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer.
  • Heat vegetable oil and butter in a separate pot over medium heat; cook and stir shallot and garlic in the hot oil-butter mixture until shallot is softened, about 5 minutes. Add rice to shallot mixture; increase heat to medium-high. Cook and stir until rice is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add wine, reduce heat to low, and simmer until wine is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir simmering broth mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, into rice mixture and continue to simmer until rice absorbs liquid; repeat, adding 1/2 cup of broth at a time, until all the broth is absorbed and rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir half-and-half into risotto; fold in Gorgonzola cheese until melted.
