Default Creamy Champagne Risotto

Creamy Champagne Risotto


Ingredients:

2 Tablespoon unsalted butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cups arborio rice
1/2 bottle champagne
3 cups hot beef or chicken stocks
1/2 cup double cream
5 Tablespoon freshly grated parmesan cheese
salt

Melt the butter in a flameproof casserole dish.

Add the onion and fry for 2 minutes.

Stir in the rice and cook for 1 minute.

Add half the champagne, bring to the boil and simmer until is absorbed.

Add a third of the stock and simmer until is absorbed. Repeat the process with the champagne and stock until the rice is just tender and creamy (about 15/20 minutes).

Warm the cream in a small saucepan. When the rice is cooked, stir in the cream and cheese and season with salt.

Serve straight away.
