- Add the rice and give it a couple of stirs.1 cup arborio rice
- Add ½ cup of vegetable broth over medium-low heat, and stir continuously until all the liquid is absorbed by the rice. Keep repeating this step, ½ cup at a time until you've added all three cups of vegetable broth.3 cups vegetable broth
- Test your rice to make sure it's cooked through. Add a little water if necessary (¼ cup at a time).
- Remove from heat and add butter and parmesan. Stir until both are completely melted and integrated. Taste to see if you need any additional salt or pepper.2 tablespoons unsalted butter, ¼ cup parmesan, shaved
- Plate your portions and drizzle each with a dash of truffle oil. Serve hot.1 tablespoon truffle oil
Notes
- Truffle oil is a finishing oil, meaning you should use it to drizzle on top, not to cook with.
- Make sure to continue to stir constantly while your rice is cooking!
- The Parmesan is optional because it's honestly SO flavorful without it. It just adds a little bit of that ooey-gooey cheese texture. However, opting to leave it out makes this dish vegan, and just as delicious.
