Instructions
- Place a large saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Saute until the onion becomes translucent, this should take around 5 minutes.
- Add the Arborio rice to the saucepan. Stir well so that each grain of rice is coated in the oil. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the rice begins to toast slightly.
- Pour in the white wine, stirring continuously until the wine is fully absorbed by the rice.
- Begin adding the chicken broth. Add one cup at a time, stirring constantly. After each cup of broth is added, wait until it is fully absorbed before adding the next one.
- Once the rice is tender and has a creamy consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Stir in the finely grated black truffle, Parmesan cheese, and butter.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the risotto hot. For an extra luxurious touch, garnish with additional grated black truffle.
Tips
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth.
- For an extra creamy risotto, stir in a splash of heavy cream just before serving.
