Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup risotto rice (Arborio rice)
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
2 1/2 tablespoons basil, fresh,chopped
6 ounces provolone cheese, grated

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice: Short-grain rice, like Arborio or Carnaroli, is best for risotto because it absorbs liquid well and becomes creamy.
  • Toast the rice: Toasting the rice before cooking it helps to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming gummy.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your risotto. Use a flavorful broth, such as chicken, beef, or vegetable broth.
  • Cook the risotto slowly: Risotto takes time to cook, so be patient. Cook it over low heat and stir it frequently.
  • Add the cheese at the end: Adding the cheese at the end of the cooking process will help prevent it from becoming rubbery.

Provolone rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its creamy texture and cheesy flavor, provolone rice is sure to please everyone at the table.
