Oregano Risotto

  • 4

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 1 1/2 cups arborio rice
  • 3 tablespoons fresh oregano, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup white wine
  • 3 cans vegetable broth
  • 1/3 cup parmesan cheese
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

In a heavy skillet, melt butter, add olive oil and onion and cook until onion begins to turn translucent, about 3 minutes.

Add rice. Stir to coat. Continue stirring until rice begins to smell slightly nutty, about 3 minutes. Be careful not to scorch.

Stir in oregano and garlic.

In a measuring cup or bowl, mix together wine and broth. Add to the rice in four equal portions, making sure liquid in completely absorbed before adding next portion (will take about 5 minutes per portion). Stir continuously.

After final portion of liquid is absorbed, stir in cheese. Risotto should be thick enough to hold its shape in a mound. Season to taste.
