Topping Suggestions: Asparagus: To give more flavour to the risotto and keep the texture of asparagus, blanch the asparagus in the broth that will be used for the risotto. You can also broil them, cut into pieces, on a baking sheet. Just add the asparagus pieces at the end of cooking the risotto.

Instructions to make Basic Risotto:
  1. Heat the butter until foaming over medium heat, in a heavy bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven
  2. Add the onion and 1/2 tsp salt, and saute until just translucent (blonde).
  3. Add the garlic, and saute another 1 minute until just aromatic. If you are using other aromatics, add them now.
  4. Add the rice, and continue sauteeing until the rice grains are coated with the butter, and look translucent.
  5. Add the wine or vermouth. Let it come to a simmer and cook until the wine is evaporated. The add 1 cup of hot stock and the other 1/2 tsp salt.
  6. Simmer, stirring every few minutes while it cooks. Keep adding stock in 1/2 cup increments, replenishing it as the stock is absorbed by the rice. The heat should be just high enough to keep the liquid at a constant simmer.
  7. Check the rice for doneness once you have added 3 cups of stock. If it is still underdone in the centre, add one final 1/2 cup stock.
  8. When the rice is just cooked through, remove the risotto from the heat. Taste and adjust the salt and any seasonings, if needed. Add final 2 T butter and optional cheese, stir in until melted and nice and creamy. Texture should be creamy and thick enough to mound up slightly, but not stiff.
