    Title: Onion Risotto Beaten With Butter And Sage
    Categories: Italian, Rice
    Yield: 4 Servings

    170 g Onion; very thinly sliced
    1 tb Vegetable oil
    25 g Butter
    Salt
    1 1/8 l Homemade meat broth -OR-
    1 1/8 l Water; simmering; plus:
    100 ml Can beef broth -OR-
    1 Bullion cube
    350 g Carnaroli; arborio, or other
    -Italian rice
    25 g Butter
    16 Sage leaves; up to 20, cut
    -into thin strips lengthways
    100 g Parmigiano-Reggiano; freshly
    -grated
    Black pepper; freshly ground

    Put the onion, vegetable oil, 25 g of the butter, and a sprinkling of
    salt into the risotto pan and turn on the heat to medium. Cook the
    onion, stirring from time to time, until it is very soft, first
    letting it wilt completely, then continuing to cook it until it
    colors a tawny gold.

    When the onion is just about done, pour the broth into a pan, bring
    it to, and keep it at, a slow, sputtering simmer on a burner close to
    the risotto pan.

    Turn up the heat under the onion to medium high, and add the rice.
    Turn it over thoroughly and continuously for at least 1 minute to
    coat it well, so that its white color takes on some of the onion's
    warmer hue. Add a ladleful of simmering brother and cook the rice,
    stirring it and periodically adding liquid. Finish cooking the rice,
    stirring always and adding broth when needed, until it is tender, but
    firm to the bite: about 25 minutes.

    Off the heat, whisk in the remainder of the butter, the shredded sage
    leaves, the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, and a liberal grinding of
    black pepper. Turn the risotto over four or five times with your
    wooden spoon. Taste and correct for salt, transfer to a warm plate,
    and serve at once.

    Tips:

    You can cook the onion in advance if you want. Reheat it thoroughly
    before adding the rice.
