Brown the onion
In a sauté pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and sweat over low heat without browning.
- ·Add the rice
Add the rice to the pan. Stir to coat well with oil until it becomes pearly (about 2 minutes). - ·Deglaze with Verger Blanc
Pour in 10 cl of Blanc Petit Béret. Let it reduce until the liquid is almost completely absorbed. - ·Gradually add the broth
Add a ladleful of hot broth, stir gently, and let it absorb. Repeat until all the broth is used up (about 18-20 minutes). The rice should be tender but still slightly firm in the center. - ·Finish the risotto
Off the heat, stir in the cold butter, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, and a few drops of juice for balance. Mix well, cover, and let stand for 1 minute. - ·Serve hot
Serve with a drizzle of olive oil, a twist of ground pepper and some fresh herbs if desired.
