Ingredients

1.5 cups Arborio rice
5 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
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.
3

Add 1.5 cups Arborio rice to the pan and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until slightly toasted.
4

Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine and stir until mostly absorbed.
5

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.
6

When Arborio rice is creamy and al dente, remove from heat. Stir in 3 tbsp unsalted butter and 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
7

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.

Questions

Can I make Risotto al Tartufo dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 3 tbsp unsalted butter, 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Swap the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed; the cheese for a plant-based melting cheese (expect a milder flavor). The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Risotto al Tartufo keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.

Can I halve or double Risotto al Tartufo?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
