Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • ½ large sweet onion, finely chopped

  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 1 ½ cups Arborio rice

  • ½ cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 5 cups hot chicken broth

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 3 cups cooked broccoli florets

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 ½ tablespoons grated Asiago cheese

  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil and butter in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion begins to turn golden brown at the edges, about 2 minutes.

  2. Pour in rice, and stir until rice is coated in oil and has started to toast, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and stir in white wine and lemon juice. Cook and stir until wine has mostly evaporated, then stir in 1/3 of the chicken broth; continue stirring until incorporated.

  3. Repeat this process twice more, stirring constantly. Stirring in broth should take 15 to 20 minutes in all. Stir in cream and cook 5 minutes before stirring in broccoli, chives, Parmesan cheese, and Asiago cheese. Cook and stir until risotto is hot; season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.
