Jeremy's Risotto

Jeremy makes this and it is so yummy. He walked me through it and I tried to recreate. I didn't measure, so the amounts below are estimations.

Ingredients:

3 tbsp butter

2 tbsp oil

1 shallot

1 cup arborio rice

~ 1 carton stock, maybe a little less

1/2 cup of white wine

1 lemon

~ 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

salt & pepper

1. Melt the butter in a large pan and add the oil. Add the minced shallot and saute for a few minutes. Add in the rice and mix until completely covered in the oil and shallot mixture.

2. Add a bunch of stock, about 2 or 3 cups, and the white wine. Bring to a boil and then simmer - stirring continuously the entire time so that the rice can absorb the liquid. Keep adding stock as it cooks down. Simmer for about 20 minutes - again, stirring very frequently.

3. Add the lemon juice and the parm. Simmer for a few more minutes while stirring. Add salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook until it is no longer runny.
