Time 40m

Yield 6 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 cups homemade chicken broth (or use 4 cups canned with 2 cups water)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/4 cup chopped scallions (use the lower white and light green parts)
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup chopped scallions (use the green tops)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan or grana cheese
White pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, bring the broth to a boil; lower the heat and keep at a scant simmer.
  • Meanwhile, in a large saute pan (see note) heat 4 tablespoons of the butter and cook the white parts of the scallions, stirring until they're soft, about 2 minutes. Add the rice, stirring with a wooden spoon, until all the grains are coated with butter. Add the wine and cook the mixture at a low simmer, stirring until all the wine is absorbed, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add 1/2 cup of the simmering broth and continue to simmer the mixture, stirring until the broth is absorbed. Keep adding broth by the 1/2 cup and repeating as above until the rice is creamy and al dente The rice may not absorb all the broth, so it's best to taste the mixture before adding the last 1/2 cup.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the green scallion tops, cheese and white pepper.

The risotto was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I think there are easier ways to make risotto.

This risotto was delicious! The scallions added a nice brightness and the Parmesan cheese made it extra creamy. I served it with grilled chicken and it was a perfect meal.

The risotto was a bit too soupy for my liking. I think I added too much liquid. Otherwise, the flavors were good.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes and it was much better.
