Ingredients
Scale
- 1–1/2 Tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 sweet yellow onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, diced (use more if you love garlic like me)
- 1–1/2 cup arborio rice
- 1 cup dry white wine (ok to omit and use an extra cup of water instead)
- 4 cups vegetable broth (can use chicken/beef/other broth in place)
- 1 cup water
- 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1–1/2 cup tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 8oz. burrata cheese
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tbsp honey
- Optional: protein of choice! I added in chicken sausage
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt oil/butter
- Add in onions & garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes until onions start to turn translucent
- Add rice, toast for ~1 minute making sure to stir it for the whole minute
- Add wine, cook off any bits that got on the side/bottom of pot for 1-2 minutes
- Reduce heat to medium-low, add in broth + water 1 cup at a time, stirring frequently until all broth and water is absorbed (patience is a virtue here!!)
- Once all broth/water has been absorbed, turn off heat, add in parmesan cheese, basil, tomatoes, salt, pepper & garlic powder.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar & honey. Top each serving with some burrata & balsamic glaze.
