Cover the skillet tightly with the lid and simmer gently for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Avoid lifting the lid during this time to ensure even cooking.
05 Step
Recipe View
5 mins
Remove the skillet from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the risotto to finish absorbing the liquid and develop its creamy texture.
06 Step
Recipe View
2 mins
Remove the lid and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is melted and evenly distributed throughout the risotto. The risotto should be creamy and slightly loose. Serve immediately, with additional Parmesan cheese on the side, if desired.
For an even richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth instead of water and bouillon.
Feel free to experiment with other cheeses, such as Pecorino Romano or Asiago.
A splash of dry white wine can be added along with the water for enhanced depth of flavor.
Ensure the lid fits tightly on your skillet to maintain consistent heat and steam during cooking.
If the risotto seems too dry after simmering, add a tablespoon or two of hot water at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

Oct 19, 2024The green onions add a lovely freshness to this risotto. I added a squeeze of lemon juice at the end for extra zing!
