5 Ingredient Side Dish
This delicious "cheese and pepper risotto" is really easy to make and only requires 5 simple ingredients.
Step 1
Use a combination of butter and olive oil for the best flavor. It only takes 2 minutes to lightly toast the rice.
Step 2
Add water 1 cup at a time. You don't have to stir constantly! Just enough to keep the rice from sticking.
Step 3
Grated pecorino is more traditional, but I prefer the more umami-forward cheesy taste of parmesan.
Step 4
Always use freshly ground black pepper, especially when it's one of only 5 ingredients in the entire recipe.
