1/4 cup olive oil, plus extra for greasing
2 shallots, peeled and minced
1 1/4 cups arborio rice
1/4 cup dry white wine
4 cups low sodium chicken broth

  • Add the rice and coat it with the mixture.
  • Stir in the wine and chicken broth.

  • Have extra grated cheese to put on top of each serving. If I was going to add shrimp, chicken,.
  • corn, salmon, etc., I would add it after the cheese had been stirred in, allowing just enough time.

I'm allergic to mushrooms, so I substituted them with zucchini. It turned out great!

The risotto was a little soupy, even after cooking it for the full time. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This risotto was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add more herbs and spices next time.
