1½ cup Arborio rice
4 cups Chicken broth combined with
1 cup water, heated

Directions

1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the butter and oil over medium heat.

Add the onion and garlic; saute until softened, about 5 minutes.

in the rice and cook, stirring 2 minutes.

2. Slowly start to add the liquid, about a ladleful at a time. Cook, covered, over low heat, 10 minutes. Wait until the liquid has been absorbed each time before adding the next ladleful. Repeat the cooking

process, covered, 10 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking, adding the

with a little chewiness in the center of the rice.) 3. Add the Parmesan, stirring until melted. Season if necessary with salt

and freshly ground black pepper.
