Sub Category		None

Ingredients

-	5 1/2 cups (or more) chicken broth
-	2 tablespoons butter
-	2 tablespoons olive oil
-	1 cup finely chopped onion (or scallions are good too)
-	2 cans artichokes, chopped and drained (or the frozen bags from Trader Joes are good!)
-	1 1/2 cups arborio rice (about 10 oz)
-	1/2 cup dry white wine
-	1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-	Lemon Juice

Cilantro


Instructions


Bring broth to a simmer in saucepan. Remove from heat; keep warm.


Melt 1 tablespoon butter with oil in a large pot (or I use an electric frying pan). Add onion; saute until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Pat artichokes dry and add to pot. Cover and cook until artichokes begin to brown, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Add rice; stir 2 minutes. Add wine; stir until absorbed, about 1 minute. Add 1 1/2 cups warm broth; cook until absorbed, stirring often, about 5 minutes.


Add more broth, 1/2 cupful at a time, allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding next and stirring often, until rice is just tender and mixture is creamy, about 20 minutes longer. Remove from heat; stir in cheese and 1 tablespoon butter. Season with salt and pepper (its usually pretty salty from the both so I don't add too much salt.)


Optional- I like to add fresh squeezed lemon juice, parsley and cilantro at the end!


Serving Suggestions

You can make this risotto with any ingredients, it does not have to be artichokes. Just use the basics of the recipe to add anything you want!
