Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
  • ¾ cup chopped onion
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ teaspoon ground white pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup uncooked arborio rice
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth simmer broth to warm before beginning risotto
  • ¼ cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese recommended
  • 1 ½ cups chopped and mashed fresh strawberries

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a heavy bottom sauté pan over medium heat.
  • Add onion and cook until softened and opaque, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, salt and pepper, stir and cook about 1 more minute.
  • Add rice and stir to combine. Continue stirring and cooking until the rice is just toasted and the edges are translucent.
  • Add wine and stir to combine. Cook until the rice absorbs the wine, stirring constantly.
  • Add warm broth, a ladle at a time, stirring after each added ladle and constantly stirring while cooking. Wait to add each ladle of broth until the rice has almost soaked up the last addition.
  • Taste test the rice after you have added about 3 cups of broth to see if it is done. It should be al dente but a bit chewy and not completely mushy.
  • The risotto is ready when it has a thick and creamy consistency.
  • Add one more ladle of broth, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, gorgonzola cheese, and strawberries. Stir to combine and keep stirring until butter and cheese has melted.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

Mash strawberries with fork or potato masher.
