- Learn how to make this delicious classic Italian creamy risotto recipe that makes for the perfect side dish or main entrée for any weeknight or entertaining meal.
Ingredients for this recipe:
• 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 peeled small diced yellow onion
• 3 finely minced garlic cloves
• 4 cups arborio rice
• 1 cup chardonnay
• 10 cups chicken stock, heated
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
• sea salt and pepper to taste
Serves 16
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Procedures:
1. Add the olive oil to a large pot or rondeau over medium-low heat.
2. Pour in the onions and cook for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned and translucent.
3. Add in the garlic and cook for 1 to 2minutes.
4. Next pour in the rice and toast for 3 to 4 minutes while stirring every :30 seconds.
5. Deglaze with the wine and stir constantly until all of it has been absorbed into the rice.
6. Add 4-8 ounces of warm chicken stock at a time to the rice while constantly stirring until it has been absorbed and then repeat the process until the arborio rice is cooked and al dente, or slightly crunch.
7. Stir in the cream, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes.
8. Serve with more parmesan cheese, pepper and optional parsley garnish.
CHEF NOTES:
• You can also add cooked vegetables or proteins to risotto once it is done cooking.
• If you want to alter the flavor of the risotto do a full caramelization to the onions, about 20-25 minutes.
• The rice will go from bright white to translucent and may have a little brown on them from toasting.
• I’ve found that it takes about 5 cups of chicken stock to every 2 cups of arborio rice. - Jak na to + styl
Tried it without the cream because I didn't have any and still came out bomb
made this the other night for the first time. SO GOOD!
Made my first ever risotto today after watching this video, came out perfect, as good as a restaurant, thank you so much :)
Fantastic!!
Tried making this and the risotto tasted so delicious :) Thanks for the recipe :)
I really like adding stock as much as it takes until al dante. You also mentioned the same thing thing in the recipe clip. I didn’t know we could reheat it. Thank you for the tip.
This guided me through my first ever risotto cook came out perfect thank you
Thank you! So detailed! I love it! Going to retry tonight
This is by far the best risotto recipe I've tried. Very good
Thank you for sharing great video on Risotto.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful dish.
I'm vegetarian, so I substituted the chicken stock for vegetable stock. Came out great.
EXCELLENT!!! Chef’s 😚! Thank you!!!
I've watched a few risotto videos,
-- this is the best, and personally I think it's perfect.
This is my first time making risotto, I plan on adding in red wine braised short ribs in it that I’ve cooked overnight 🔥👌🏽
Thank you, you recipe encouraged me to make my first risotto!
Chef Billy, creamy risotto is one of my favorite recipe!
Same!
Thank you again. You answer all the questions I have. First time I made it, it got to the point of congee hahahaha I have no culinary skills to speak of. You're a great teacher. I will attempt this again.
So good!
Love the video, thank you!! Going to try this recipe today!
Thanks for watching!
That looks so good! Will absolutely try it!
You will love it!
One of my favorites 😋
So good!!
Very helpful and well presented. Thank you!
Excellent teaching Chef. Really appreciate the enlightenment.
Very intuitive, thank you 😊
I like that! How you say you risotto everything. I never thought about that before and that will be a useful tool for the future. Thank you ; )
Wow!! But first I have to preface this comment. My ex was Italian and got me hooked on risotto, it is literally my favorite thing to eat but as many times as he cooked it for me I never paid attention. I've tried box risotto during desperate times but realized I needed to learn how to cook this myself. You really came through for me with this recipe. It was easy to follow and my finished product was absolute heaven. Thank you Billy 💜
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing I lern a lot
Love your attitude! Risotto everything. I do it to my arroz con pollo. You have a great face. Thanks we loved it!
well explained, cheers
Outstanding recipe. I ended up needing 6 cups of chicken broth to 2 cups of risotto. It came out perfect!
I just discovered your channel, it’s great. Your risotto video is just the best. Thanks.
I want to try this
Thanks brother, I nailed because of your video.
What brand of cookware is that pot you use for the risotto in this video. I really love the way that pot looks.
The restaurant I cook at uses wild rice for the risotto, its delicious
Nice, I'm looking forward to making this but thinking I'll add some capers to the risotto and serve it alongside a seared salmon filet and finish with a light lemon butter cream sauce 🤤
This was very helpful! Going to veganize it, but wondering whether to do home made veggie broth or store bought. Is it weird to bring risotto to Christmas dinner? Lol, looks so good!
But seriously that looks GOOD ima make that mmmm
Appreciate that
I use orzo all the time, I love how it makes a more full bodied risotto!
if you use orzo you're not making a risotto, because orzo has not enough starch to get it creamy. Italians cook orzo the same way as risotto but the result is different. They call it "orzotto"
looks delicious! i've always been too intimidated to make risoto, but you're making it look easy! I will definitely need to give this a try now. at what point would you add vegetables to this? i'm thinking asparagus or mushrooms... yum.
I would caramelize the mushrooms with the onions and get a really nice brown on them and then add asparagus in with the last ladle of chicken stock so that it stays firm. You got this!!
You got to try it with spinach and cherry tomato's delicioso 🤙🤙🤙
Holy crap I can’t stop making this is fire
I love risotto, never thought to use heavy cream before. Thanks for the tips.
Just adds a little bit extra love to it.
for a healthier, vegan option I soak 1 cup raw cashews in water, strain then blend with your risotto stock, add nutritional yeast and salt/pepper. Super creamy. That's my "heavy cream"
Same maybe that’s what I was doing wrong, mine was never creamy enough
@@250Pants it’s good with a “cauliflower cream” too! I like to cook down some riced cauliflower until it’s tender, and then blend with a little unsweetened almond milk. Sooo good! I use this thick cream base for Alfredo, and cheese sauce bases all the time. It’s delicious without any added dairy.
@@250Pants Does it work as well if I soak almonds or walnuts instead? I am thinking about making this today but I don't have any cashew lol
So if I were to use Aborio rice are the amounts still the same? Looks so good! I've made 3 of your recipes so far, short ribs are next. Thanks so much.
Looks delicious. Can’t wait to try it. Also I think a viewing of the movie Big Night is essential ahead of making this dish
haha, awesome!
One of my favorite things to cook & so many different variations & options . The first few times i made it wasn’t exactly wonderful but practice makes perfect with risotto. Is it traditional to add butter at the end or is that an American addition?
Yes Risotto definitely takes a little bit of practice but once you get it it’s delicious. Finishing with butter is definitely American.
I going to try making Risotto for the first time this week, just going to use this video as my instructions. Hopefully I get it down cause I really want to do Lobster or Crab Risotto
This looks amazing! I just made "risotto cacio e pepe" and it came out delicious. Bon Appetit :)
Yum!!
Send me your Instagram account 🤠
So after adding the wine u said continue stirring with a wooden spoon...any particular reason for that? Also does it matter what kind of wood?i use a beechwood spatula
My house does not have alcohol in it, so what can I replace the wine with? This recipe looks amazing and I definitely am going to try it. Thanks again for an absolutely wonderful dinner idea. I cannot wait.😍👍🥰🤗
No worries, just simply don't use the wine and go right into adding in the chicken stock!
use lemon juice
I use ginger wine.
Obviously one may add just about anything to risotto as their personal preference but my go-to is: onions, peas and pancetta, or I'll substitute toasted pine nuts occasionally, over pancetta, depending what I have in the house.
God eating this and drinking some doppio feels amazing!
My partner makes the best risotto and I'm so nervous about trying to make it for him. Thank you for sharing, I think I'm ready to give it my first shot 😅
Have to say it's pretty amazing, I hope he likes it as much as me 😜
i was going to use this recipe to make suppli. Could I freeze it?
Every time I forget how to make this I come right back here
Do we need to wash the arborio rice before hand? Can I have the recipe in grams?
Mr. Chef, will the rice par_boiled before pouring or raw?
Hi, can I freeze the cooked risotto if I can't finish it?
I'm adding salmon and brussel sprouts. 🤤
Brilliant recipe.
Very tasty and a winner.
Risotto, please learn how to pronounce this word correctly 🙏😃
Thank you. I'm making this again tonight.

Hi Chef, new subscriber here from California. Was the heavy cream in place of the butter I see other chefs put in at the end Chef? Thank You for this tutorial, this dish scares me to death to try lol.
What's up my friend, thanks for the sub. Yes, essentially butter is whipped cream so I wanted to try and make it super white with the cream! You can absolutely sub out the cream for butter.
ecco ci mancava quello che mette la panna anche dentro il risotto... caxxo voi e la cucina due mondi separati e distanti milioni di chilometri. Corri a prepararti l'hamburger...
Paky Linuss I’m sorry but I only speak English, I’m afraid I don’t understand your comment.
@@ChezJ1 Learn something in your life my brother ..... it won't hurt you, trust me. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Impara qualcosa nella tua vita fratello, non ti farà male fidati. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Paky Linuss LoL, great advice, I’ll give it a shot. 👍
Hell’s Kitchen has made me scared to make this, but i still want to try lol
Do it
I'm going to cube and roast butternut squash and toss it in, plus lemon zest.
Nice!!!
This looks delicious. I have a one year old picky eater and I want to try making this for her. Do you know if this dish is toddler friendly since it has wine in it? Or should I omit the wine altogether? Thanks!
No idea lol, see if it works
I know you commented a while ago but just in case anyone else was actually looking for an answer... all of the alcohol in the wine will cook out during this low and slow cooking process. The wine is added for flavor. Totally safe for kids too!
@@rhiannonw3758 thank you for your response! I will definitely try it now! 😊
Hello! Do you wash the rice first?
Thats some risotto paste.
all good until you added whipping cream. no need for it. just use cold butter and parmigiano off the heat and it will become creamy and tasty. also arborio rice is like the "weakest" for risotto. try carnaroli or vialone nano, they have more starch and firmer texture.
do i have to use white wine
Can the wine be substituted with something else?
I've only made risotto maybe 6 times. Using 3 different recipes, never seen heavy cream used. Is the HC replacing the butter ?
Yes
Hi Chef billy, would that be ok if I add chicken? Thanks xx
Yes you can
Chef Billy Parisi thank you chef
Molto Delicioso! Gracie
Arborio rice to make Risotto. This guy gives some good hints but just makes the basic rice without mushrooms, chicken, or other things you can put in it. Andrew really likes it but like I said, I’ve never made it. Sounds good. There is a recipe on the rice container.
Okay I have questions regarding the Risotto I see that you used a wine bottle I forgot what it’s called anyways is there any other way I can use without wine because I’m not allowed to use wine of any kind
Just don’t use wine
how to make risotto with garlic powder? Can I do that?
I’m not a nouveau cook, but I’m still haunted by making risotto LoL. I have the Arborio rice and the chicken stock, all the ingredients, but, I am still hesitant. I ALWAYS love trying to cook new things, but this is one I can’t mess up. On a personal note, I cook for my mother who has stage IV cancer so if it doesn’t come out right, I need to scrap it all and make something completely new and different and by then, she’s lost her appetite. Ohh I love risotto but it’s daunting as hell!!!
Thanks for watching, and thanks for sharing that story. I’ll be praying for your mom!
how many servings is it
chef, is white wine safe for kids? specifically a 10 year old?
Big cup.
What if you just add all the stock at once and cook the rice until done? So much easier 🤔
it doesn't go as creamy and just becomes stodgy rice.
What’s difference between using shallots vs yellow onions for risotto? I’ve used shallots before, but haven’t tried the onion. Thanks in advance!
Less bite
@@ChefBillyParisi thanks! You’re the man 👍🏽
is it safe to pour directly the cream into risotto? does it not curdle?
Yes. As long as it is fresh it will not curdle
Chef Billy, I had a birthday on the other day!
Nice!
Can I use whole milk instead of heavy cream?
No. You can use butter though
Hello from Russia! How many grams is 1 cup for you? 😬😅
Random but the best risotto I ever made was from frozen stock. It literally melted into the pan with the rice at just the right pace.
I bet that work pretty well.
Is there any alternative to white wine?
No, just skip it
Definitely takes longer than 30mins. For 4cups
How about the mushrooms?
Never heard of adding cream to risotto before.
Me neither. When it’s al dante, turn off stove. Add butter and parmesan. Close the lid without stirring. Wait about 2-3 min. Then open the lid and stir it. Done
Is there a substitute for the white wine, I'm underage😅
I have no parmesan can I use red cheddar or gouda?
ahahhahaahahahahhahaahahahahahha can i put Strawberry jam on the risotto :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
@@s1lv3rr : Peanut butter is good. I put fig jam on a piece of toast. Curry, raisins, with mint leaf garnish is also excellent. But use less cheese. It's all a matter of personal taste.
Would it work if I skipped wine?
Absolutely
Is it raw rice or cooked?
At the beginning it’s rice and it becomes cooked
Can i skip wine nd stock n add water on it 🥵🥰
You’ll lose a lot of flavor but sure
@@ChefBillyParisi i used dadi.n the taste came out really well.thanx for ur reply ❤
Chef Billy, where are you from?
Everywhere
I am vegan is there a sub broth you would recommend for this dish?
actually real italian risotto is made of vegetable broth so you can just put some onion, carrots and celery
I’ve never seen anyone add cream to risotto before.
That's Chicken stock from a Cube.
So, why are you pouring cold wine on hot rice? hee hee.
