Congressman Mike Thompson of California posted this recipe in one of the local papers from his grandmother. He strongly recommends that the red wine be cabernet sauvignon, but he says you can substitute a good zinfandel, if you insist

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 1/2 cups arborio rice or 1 1/2 cups carnaroli rice
1 cup cabernet sauvignon wine
5 -6 cups chicken stock, hot
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, drained and minced
1 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese, more to taste (4 ounces)
kosher salt
fresh black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the butter and olive oil together in a large saucepan over low heat.
  • When the butter is melted, add the onion and garlic, and saute until transparent, 7-8 minutes.
  • Add the rice, and stir with a wooden spoon until each grain begins to turn a milky white, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the wine, and continue to stir until it is completely absorbed by the rice.
  • Keeping the stock hot over low heat, add the stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring after each addition until nearly all the liquid is absorbed.
  • Continue to add stock and stir until the rice is tender but not mushy, a total of 18-20 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomatoes and cheese, taste again, and season with salt, pepper, and if you like, more cheese.
  • Serve immediately.

Overall, this risotto was a bit disappointing. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The risotto was a bit too creamy for my taste. I think I would use less butter next time.

The risotto was a bit bland. I think it needed more salt and pepper.

This risotto was a bit too boozy for my taste. I think I would use less cabernet sauvignon next time.

This risotto is so creamy and flavorful. The cabernet sauvignon really shines through and adds a touch of sophistication.

Delicious! The cabernet sauvignon gave the risotto a lovely depth of flavor. I will definitely be making this again.

This was my first time making risotto and it turned out perfectly! The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the cabernet sauvignon added a touch of elegance to the dish.

I've made this risotto several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of the velvety risotto and the bold flavors of the cabernet is simply divine.

This risotto was a hit with my family! The cabernet sauvignon added a rich, fruity flavor that everyone loved. I also appreciated that the recipe was easy to follow and didn't require any special ingredients.
