Fennel Risotto

A creamy and flavorful risotto complemented by the aromatic taste of fennel, perfect for a cozy dinner.

Ingredients

  • fennel (4 bulbs)
  • unsalted butter (1 tablespoon)
  • onion (1 medium)
  • Arborio rice (2 cups)
  • vegetable broth (7 cups)
  • heavy cream (1 cup)
  • freshly grated Parmesan cheese (6 tablespoons)
  • dried parsley (1 tablespoon)
  • black pepper (0 )

Instructions

  1. Cut base off fennel bulbs, then cut a cone shape into bases to remove cores. Slice fennel bulbs vertically (lengthwise) into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  2. Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed stock pot over medium heat. Add fennel and onion; cook for 2 minutes. Stir in rice; cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until rice lightly toasted. Stir in 1 cup vegetable broth; continue stirring until liquid is almost completely absorbed. Repeat the process with remaining broth, stirring constantly for 15 to 20 minutes until absorbed.
  3. Stir in cream, 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, and parsley; cook until rice is tender yet firm to the bite and risotto is thick and creamy. Season with black pepper. Divide risotto among bowls; sprinkle with remaining 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese.
