Parmesan Risotto

Modified from Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook

 

***Needs a Slow Cooker

 

1/4 cup olive oil

1 small onion, diced (they used shallots)

1/4 cup dry white wine (I used chicken broth)

1 1/4 cups Arborio rice (or Vialone nano or Carnaroli whatever those are)

3 3/4 cups chicken broth (so I used 4 cups)

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
 

In small skillet, over medium heat, warm oil.  Cook onions until softened (don't brown).  Add wine (broth) and cook for a minute or so.  Add rice and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes (don't brown).  Scrap into a slow cooker. Add broth and salt.  Cover and cook on high until all the liquid is gone, but rice is still moist, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. 

 

Stir in cheese at end (they only put some in and passed rest, I just stuck it all in). 

 

Serves 3-4.
