Ingredients

1/4 - 1/2 head of garlic
olive oil, for drizzling
1/2 cup arborio rice
2 cups skim milk
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons grated white cheddar
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
kosher salt
cracked pepper
2 tablespoons snipped chives, for garnish

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2

Cut off about 1/2 inch from the top of the garlic head, just enough so you can see the tops of the cloves. Pour a healthy drizzle of olive oil over the tops of the cloves.
3

Cover with foil and roast in oven for roughly 40 minutes. Once cloves are cool enough to handle, squeeze them out from their skins and mince. Reserve until later.
4

Heat milk in medium saucepan until smoking.
5

Add rice and bring to a low boil.
6

Reduce heat and simmer uncovered until milk is absorbed (about one hour), making sure to stir frequently.
7

Remove from heat and stir in the cheese, garlic, butter and enough salt and pepper to your liking.
8

Garnish with snipped chives.
