(Video) Caramelized Onion Risotto | Dining In

Steps

  • 1

    In 12-inch skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter over high heat. Add onions; cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender. Reduce heat to medium; cook 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are deeply browned. Transfer onions to bowl.

  • 2

    Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, heat broth over medium heat until hot. Reduce heat to low; keep hot while cooking rice.

  • 3

    In 4-quart saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat. Stir in rice. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until edges of kernels are translucent. Stir in wine. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until wine is absorbed.

  • 4

    Reduce heat to medium. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the hot broth mixture; cook uncovered 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed. Stir in another 1 1/2 cups of the broth mixture; cook uncovered 5 to 7 minutes longer, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed.

  • 5

    Stir in remaining 1 cup broth. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until rice is just tender. Stir in caramelized onions, Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup of the cooked bacon and remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Stir vigorously until rice is creamy. Serve immediately, garnished with remaining 1/4 cup bacon. Serve with more Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
