Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
In a medium saucepan, heat the broth over low heat so that it’s steaming and warmed through but not simmering. You’ll leave this on the heat while cooking the risotto.
- Step 2
In a dutch oven or large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once hot, add in the garlic, salt and pepper and sauté for 3 minutes. Add the rice, stir, and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Step 3
Stir in the white wine (or additional broth). Cook, stirring often, until the wine is almost completely absorbed.
- Step 4
ONE ladle-full at a time, slowly add in the broth. DO NOT add more broth until the previous ladle-full has been completely absorbed by the rice. It takes a few minutes each time.
- Step 5
Before adding in the last ladle-full of broth, stir in the broccoli and then add the remaining broth. Continue to stir often. Once the broccoli is almost done (about 7 minutes), stir in the cheese until fully melted.
- Step 6
Serve and ENJOY!
Notes
- Step 7
*I like something like sauvignon blanc in this recipe
- Step 8
The wine can be subbed for an equal amount of additional broth. The alcohol will cook out but you can swap the wine completely as desired.
