Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
½ large sweet onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 ½ cups Arborio rice
½ cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
5 cups hot chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
3 cups cooked broccoli florets
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 ½ tablespoons grated Asiago cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil and butter in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion begins to turn golden brown at the edges, about 2 minutes. Pour in the rice, and stir until the rice is coated in oil and has started to toast, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the white wine and lemon juice.
  • Cook and stir until the wine has mostly evaporated, then stir in one third of the chicken broth; continue stirring until incorporated. Repeat this process twice more, stirring constantly. Stirring in the broth should take 15 to 20 minutes in all. Stir in the cream, and cook 5 minutes before stirring in the broccoli, chives, Parmesan cheese, and Asiago cheese. Cook and stir until the risotto is hot; season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.
