CHAMPAGNE RISOTTO
Yield: Makes 6 servings.
Ingredients • 1 cup chopped onion • 1 tablespoon butter • 1 cup uncooked U.S. arborio or medium grain rice • 1 cup dry champagne • 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth, heated • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Directions Cook onion in butter until soft in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add rice and stir 2 to 3 minutes. Add champagne; stir until absorbed. Stir in 1 cup broth. Cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed. Continue to add 1/2 cup broth at a time, stirring and simmering until fully absorbed before adding each addition. Risotto is done when rice is creamy and still has a slight bite. It will take approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
