Champagne Risotto

Description
Makes 6 servings.

Ingredients

 * 1 cup chopped onion
 * 1 tablespoon butter
 * 1 cup uncooked U.S. arborio or medium grain rice
 * 1 cup dry champagne
 * 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth, heated
 * 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions
Cook onion in butter until soft in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add rice and stir 2 to 3 minutes. Add champagne; stir until absorbed. Stir in 1 cup broth. Cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed. Continue to add 1/2 cup broth at a time, stirring and simmering until fully absorbed before adding each addition.

Risotto is done when rice is creamy and still has a slight bite. It will take approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in cheese. Serve immediately.
