Directions:
Use a large bottom stock pot over medium high heat. Saute onions until slightly browned. Add butter and melt. Add rice and lightly cook (use wooden spoon to stir) - rice is cooked when outside edge is translucent. Add wine and stir until all liquid is absorbed. Using a large ladle, slowly add hot chicken stock or water (add two ladle fulls at a time, adding more when all liquid is absorbed). Test to make sure rice is thoroughly cooked. Now, season with heavy cream, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese and any other ingredients you choose.

Personal Notes:
This is a basic risotto. Any ingredients can be added to customize any dish. On my menu, I add cherry tomatoes and bacon and top with seared sea scallops. Sauteed mushrooms are a nice addition, finish with a drizzle of truffle oil. You can also take one of your roasted beets, finely dice and stir in for a magenta hue.
