Serves:
Ingredients
- 2 cups Arborio rice
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red chili, sliced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and chili. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
-
Add the Arborio rice to the pot and stir well to coat the grains in the oil. Cook for another 2 minutes.
-
Gradually add the vegetable broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until the liquid is absorbed before adding more.
-
Continue adding the vegetable broth and stirring until the rice is cooked al dente, about 20-25 minutes. The risotto should have a creamy texture.
-
Meanwhile, in a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the mint leaves and cook until crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool. Once cooled, crush the mint leaves to make crumbs.
-
Once the risotto is cooked, remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Serve the risotto in bowls and sprinkle the mint crumbs on top. Enjoy!
