Gordon Ramsay Parmesan Risotto
Print Recipe

Parmesan risotto is a classic Italian dish where Arborio rice is cooked slowly in broth while being stirred frequently to release starch, resulting in a creamy consistency. Gordon Ramsay’s version emphasizes high-quality Parmesan cheese, rich butter, and well-balanced seasoning, making it a luxurious and satisfying dish.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Parmesan Risotto

  • 1 ½ cups Arborio rice
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth (kept warm)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)

For Garnish & Serving

  • Extra grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley or chives, chopped
  • A drizzle of truffle oil (optional, for added depth)

Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics

  1. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
  3. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 2: Toast the Arborio Rice

  1. Add the Arborio rice to the pan, stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes to toast the grains slightly, which enhances the nutty flavor.
  2. Pour in the white wine and stir until fully absorbed.

Step 3: Gradually Add the Broth

  1. Ladle in warm broth, one scoop at a time, stirring frequently.
  2. Allow each addition of broth to be absorbed before adding more.
  3. Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender but slightly al dente.

Step 4: Finish with Butter and Parmesan

  1. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining butter, grated Parmesan cheese, and mascarpone (if using).
  2. Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 5: Serve and Garnish

  1. Spoon the creamy risotto onto warm plates or bowls.
  2. Garnish with extra Parmesan, fresh herbs, and a drizzle of truffle oil if desired.
  3. Serve hot and enjoy the rich, cheesy goodness!
