06 Step

Recipe View 2 mins Remove the lid and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is melted and evenly distributed throughout the risotto. The risotto should be creamy and slightly loose. Serve immediately, with additional Parmesan cheese on the side, if desired.

For an even richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth instead of water and bouillon.
Feel free to experiment with other cheeses, such as Pecorino Romano or Asiago.
A splash of dry white wine can be added along with the water for enhanced depth of flavor.
Ensure the lid fits tightly on your skillet to maintain consistent heat and steam during cooking.
If the risotto seems too dry after simmering, add a tablespoon or two of hot water at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

    The green onions add a lovely freshness to this risotto. I added a squeeze of lemon juice at the end for extra zing!

    Great basic recipe! I used vegetable broth to make it vegetarian and it was still amazing.
