Ingredients
  

For the Risotto
  • 1.5 cups Arborio Rice Essential for achieving that signature creamy texture; consider Carnaroli for a similar effect.
  • 4.5 cups Chicken Stock Opt for low-sodium for better salt control; vegetable stock can be used for vegetarian options.
  • 1 cup Dry White Wine Enhances depth; substitute with chicken or vegetable broth if avoiding alcohol.
  • 1 tbsp Kosher Salt Brings out natural flavors.
  • 0.5 tsp Black Pepper Freshly ground offers the best flavor.
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese Gives a creamy, savory finish; Pecorino Romano or dairy-free alternatives can be used.
  • 2 tbsp Butter Provides richness; olive oil can be used for a dairy-free version.
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Contributes deep flavor.
For the Additions
  • 1 cup Peas Fresh or frozen, optional but recommended.
  • 0.25 cup Chopped Parsley Fresh herbs brighten the dish; thyme or basil are alternatives.

Equipment

  • Dutch oven

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients, including Arborio rice, chicken stock, and dry white wine.
  2. In a large Dutch oven, combine 1 ½ cups of Arborio rice with 4 ½ cups of chicken stock, 1 cup of dry white wine, 1 tablespoon of kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Stir well, cover, and lock in moisture.
  3. Bake the Dutch oven in your preheated oven for 45 minutes until rice absorbs the stock and wine.
  4. Remove the oven, stir gently to incorporate any stuck bits, and taste for seasoning.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons of butter, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Optionally fold in 1 cup of peas.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
