Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oil in a 4 quart or larger cooker. Add the onions and cook over high heat for 1 minute. Stir in the rice making sure to coat it with the oil. Stir in the vermouth. Cook until the rice absorbs the liquid. Stir in 3 1/2 cups of the broth. Make sure nothing is stuck to the bottom of the cooker. Bring to pressure and cook for 4 minutes. Risotto should look soupy at this point. Cook uncovered under medium heat and stir until it thickens, about 3-5 minutes. If the mixture becomes dry, stir in more broth. Risotto should be slightly runny. Stir in the cheese, salt and pepper to taste, add parsley.
