Gordon Ramsay Risotto Recipe
Gordon Ramsay’s Risotto features arborio rice, onions, garlic, white wine, chicken broth, butter, Parmesan, and parsley. Serves four, this creamy dish takes around 45 minutes to prepare.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ⅓ cup onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup arborio rice
- ½ cup white wine or extra broth
- 3 cups chicken broth warmed
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ⅔ cup parmesan cheese freshly grated, plus extra for serving
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
- You can use the oven or a small saucepan to warm the broth up.
- In a medium pot, add the olive oil and onions. Cook over medium-high heat for about three to four minutes, or until the onions are soft.
- Add the rice and garlic, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the rice starts to turn a light brown color.
- Add the wine and stir it in while cooking until it evaporates. Once you add the warm broth, stir it in ½ cup at a time until it’s all gone. It will take twenty minutes.
- Take it off the heat and add the butter, parsley, and parmesan cheese. Save a couple of tablespoons of the cheese to decorate with. If you think it needs it, add salt and pepper.
Notes
- Onion and Olive Oil Base: Cook onions in olive oil until soft for a flavorful base. Stir regularly to prevent burning.
- Rice and Garlic Cooking: Cook rice and garlic for approximately 5 minutes until the rice develops a light brown color. This enhances the nutty flavor of the risotto.
- Wine Addition: Add wine and stir until it evaporates. This step adds depth to the dish. Substitute extra broth if you prefer a non-alcoholic version.
- Total Cooking Time: The entire process takes around 20 minutes. Be attentive to achieve the desired creamy consistency without overcooking the rice.
- Texture Check: Assess the risotto’s texture before serving. It should be creamy with a slight bite (al dente). Adjust broth or cooking time if needed.
