Ingredients

1/2 onions, finely chopped 3.5 oz
1 1/2 cup vegetable broth 12.8 fl.oz
1/2 tbsp olive oil 0.3 fl.oz

Before you start

A pressure-cooker will reduce the risotto cooking time to 7 min. The quantities given here are based on this recipe served as main course.

Method

  1. Finely chop the onion. Heat the broth in a small saucepan on the stove or in a microwave oven. Keep it warm while cooking the risotto (which will take about 20 min).
  2. Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the onion then sauté 2-3 min, until it becomes translucent. Add the rice and toast the grains 1-2 min (until translucent), with constant stirring.
  3. Cook the risotto until the rice is creamy but still al dente, about 20 min.
  4. Stir in the Parmesan and Gorgonzola cheese, then let the risotto stand for 2 min. Season with pepper to taste, then serve.

october 20, 2021 | I would make this recipe again

Substituting blue cheese in made the taste quite strong. You need more broth than what is indicated in the recipe. The amount specified in the recipe was sufficient for 5 minutes of the cooking time, then additional broth was required to complete the cooking. In the end the risotto was quite thick, possibly indicating that more broth may have been required. Making the risotto in the traditional way was also very labor-intensive (stirring constantly).

I followed the recipe to the letter: the quantities are perfect and the final result very creamy. I did use Gorgonzola as specified, I do not know if with another, less creamy blue cheese the result would be the same.
