Instructions
- Heat the vegetable broth in a large pot over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Keep it on low heat during the whole cooking process.
- In a separate large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they become translucent.
- Add the diced parsnips and arborio rice to the pot. Stir well to ensure they are fully coated with the butter.
- Pour in the white wine and stir continuously until it is completely absorbed by the rice.
- Start adding the simmering vegetable broth to the rice and parsnip mixture, one ladleful at a time. Stir constantly and allow each ladleful to be fully absorbed before adding the next.
- Continue this process for about 20-25 minutes, until the rice is cooked al dente and has a creamy texture.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Season the risotto with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Remove the pot from the heat and allow the risotto to rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the creamy parsnip risotto while hot. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley, if desired.
