Creamy Risotto

Yield: Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

3 cups water

2 cups chicken broth

1/4 cup butter, divided

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 cup uncooked arborio or medium grain rice

1/3 cup dry white wine

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

salt, to taste

ground white pepper, to taste

Directions:

Heat water and broth in 2-quart saucepan over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and keep warm.

Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in large saucepan over medium heat; add onion and cook until soft. Add rice and stir 2-3 minutes. Add wine; stir until absorbed. Increase heat to medium-high; stir in 1 cup of the warm water-broth mixture.

Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, until liquid is absorbed. Continue stirring and add remaining water-broth mixture, 1 cup at a time, allowing each cup to be absorbed before adding another. Cook until rice is tender and mixture has a creamy consistency, about 25-30 minutes.

Stir in cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and remaining butter. Stir until mixture is creamy, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
