  4. Add white wine and let simmer on low for 2 minutes.
  5. With lid off, add chicken or vegetable broth, add cream, and let simmer on low until liquid is absorbed, approximately 25 minutes, stirring regularly.

Notes, tips, and variations

edit
  • May substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth.
  • Plump, medium grain rice that contains a lot of starch, like Arborio or Carnaroli, are traditionally best. Other rices that work well are Roma, Nano, Maratelli, and Vialone.
