Ingredients

1.5 cups Arborio rice

1 shallot, finely minced
3 tbsp unsalted butter
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp truffle oil
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1

Heat 5 cups vegetable broth in a separate pot and keep at a gentle simmer.
2

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add 1 finely minced shallot and cook until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes.

Add vegetable broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently and waiting for each addition to be mostly absorbed before adding the next, about 18-20 minutes total.

When Arborio rice is creamy and al dente, remove from heat. Stir in 3 tbsp unsalted butter and 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese.

Drizzle in 1 tsp truffle oil and fold gently. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
8

Serve immediately in warm bowls, drizzling extra truffle oil on top if desired.

Why fold instead of stir in Risotto al Tartufo?

What can I use instead of arborio rice in Risotto al Tartufo?
