Very Cheesy Risotto

10 ingredients
7 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups arborio rice
  • 5 cups vegetable broth or water and vegetable bouillon cubes, 1 cube per cup of water
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1 onion medium, chopped
  • 2 medium carrots skinned and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon margarine
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large saucepan or pot, melt the margarine over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. Add chopped carrots and onion, and cook until carrots are tender and onion is translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. 2
    Meanwhile, heat the vegetable broth in a large pot. It should be just below boiling or at a rolling boil when added to the rice.
  3. 3
    Add arborio rice to the pot.
  4. 4
    Add the white wine to the rice, carrots, and onion. Stir until it has been absorbed by the rice.
  5. 5
    Add the vegetable broth a half-cup at a time to the rice. You will need to stir the rice until each half-cup of broth is absorbed before you add the next half-cup.
  6. 6
    Keep adding the liquid until rice is tender. This will take about 20 minutes. I can usually set a timer on this.
  7. 7
    Remove from heat and stir in cheeses. Serve hot and enjoy!
