Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Arborio rice
• 150 grams Salami
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 5 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
• 0.5 cups Dry white wine
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat the stock in a medium saucepan over low heat and keep it warm while preparing the risotto.

Step 2

Dice the salami into small cubes. Finely chop the onion and garlic.

Step 3

In a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced salami to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until lightly crispy. Remove the salami using a slotted spoon and set it aside.

Step 5

Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the Arborio rice to the skillet, stirring well to coat the grains with the oil. Toast the rice for 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Pour in the white wine, stirring continuously, and cook until the liquid has mostly evaporated.

Step 9

Begin adding the warm stock to the rice, one ladleful at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until most of the liquid is absorbed before adding the next ladle. Repeat until the rice is cooked al dente, which should take about 18-20 minutes.

Step 10

Stir in the cooked salami, butter, Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Mix well until everything is combined and creamy.

Step 11

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 12

Remove the skillet from the heat, cover it, and let the risotto rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Garnish with additional Parmesan and parsley if desired, and serve warm.
