👩‍🍳 Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

🎯 Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

1

In a large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

⏱️ 4 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Onions should be soft, not browned.
2

Add the Arborio rice to the saucepan and toast for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the edges become translucent.

⏱️ 2 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Helps to enhance the nutty flavor of the rice.
3

Pour in the white wine and stir until it is absorbed by the rice, about 2 minutes.

⏱️ 2 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Stir constantly to prevent sticking.
4

Begin adding the hot broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the broth to be absorbed before adding more. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

⏱️ 20 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Consistent stirring helps release starch and create a creamy texture.
5

Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to melt the cheese and butter into the risotto.

⏱️ 2 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
6

Remove the risotto from heat and let it rest, covered, for 2 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.

⏱️ 2 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Resting helps achieve a perfect consistency.
7

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving hot. Enjoy your creamy Classic Risotto!

AI Wisdom: Adds a fresh pop of color and flavor.
