Equipment

Ingredients

1 Cup(s) Arborio rice
3 ½ Cup(s) chicken stock
½ Cup(s) Parmesan cheese
2-3 Tablespoons butter
Salt to taste
2 Tablespoons olive oil optional

Instructions

Heat either 1 Tablespoon butter or 2 Tablespoons oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Once fully heated or melted, add your rice and sauté for 1 minute. (I prefer to use oil for this, but in the interest of keeping this recipe to 5 ingredients, you can use butter.)
Add the chicken stock, cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, uncovering to stir and check the consistency a few times. When the stock is almost fully absorbed into the rice, uncover and stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the skillet and burning.
Once the stock is fully absorbed, take the skillet off of the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese and butter. Season with salt to taste. (This is one recipe that needs salt to really bring out the flavor.)
Serve immediately.
