Grape Risotto Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Arborio rice
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 cup white wine
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup seedless grapes, halved
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. In a large saucepan, bring the stock and wine to a simmer.
2. In a separate saucepan, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté for 3 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
3. Add the Arborio rice to the onion mixture, stirring constantly until coated and the edges of the rice become translucent, about 3 minutes.
4. Add a ladleful of the simmering stock to the rice and stir constantly until the liquid is absorbed. Continue adding stock, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly until absorbed before adding more. Cook until the rice is al dente, about 20-25 minutes.

6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
