Part 3/5:
In the same pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing them until they become translucent and fragrant. This step lays the foundation for a flavorful risotto.
Step 3: Cook the Risotto
Next, add the washed and dried risotto rice to the pan. Stir the rice for about 1-2 minutes until it slightly becomes transparent. If you’re using white wine, pour it in now and reduce it while stirring constantly until the liquid has nearly evaporated. This process enhances the flavor of the risotto.
