Low Maintenance Risotto

Mmm! Risotto is such a great comfort food.  Best of all, this recipe doesn't require the constant stirring that most risotto recipes do. Although, I do find that it takes longer than 8-10 minutes for the water to absorb. Enjoy!

LOW MAINTENANCE RISOTTO
from Real Simple Magazine

Ingredients
3 T butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
salt (optional) & pepper
1 c Arborio rice
1/2 c dry white wine
3 1/2 c chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 c grated parmesan cheese
2 T chopped fresh parsley

1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the onion, 1/2 t salt and 1/4 t pepper. Cook until softened, 6-8 minutes.
3. Add the rice and cook, stirring for 2 minutes.
4. Add the wine and simmer until absorbed.
5. Add half the broth and simmer, stirring once until absorbed 8-10 minutes.
6. Add the remaining broth and simmer, stirring once until the rice is tender and creamy, 8-10 minutes.
7. Stir in the parmesan cheese and sprinkle with parsley.

We plan to branch out and try variations on risotto very soon. Do you have any favorite recipes?
