It may sound weird, but it\u2019s actually really good, and it\u2019s where I got the inspiration for this risotto dish. The tang from the cheese combined with the sweetness from the apples makes this creamy risotto really delicious. Give it a try and let me know what you think.<\/p>\n<p>Since risotto requires constant stirring, making a batch forces me to slow down and dedicate a good half of an hour to simply standing over the stove and stirring. It&#8217;s a perfect time to clear my head and focus on one thing, a really creamy and tender risotto.<\/p>\n<p>In a small pot, bring 5 cups of <a href=\"https:\/\/thesteadycook.com\/2020\/10\/21\/vegetable-broth\/\"><strong>vegetable stock<\/strong><\/a> to a simmer. Cover and keep hot.<\/p>\n<p>In a separate, large, thick-bottomed pot or dutch oven, melt 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Chop one apple into small half inch cubes and add to the pot. Saut\u00e9 on medium heat for 15 minutes or until the apple is soft. Add \u00bd cup of minced shallots and saut\u00e9 for 5 minutes longer. Add 1 \u00bd cups of arborio rice and saut\u00e9 for an additional minute. Add \u00bd cup of dry white wine to the pot and simmer until the wine has completely evaporated.<\/p>\n<p>Ladle the hot broth, one ladle at a time, into the rice. Stir the rice continuously until the broth is evaporated before adding the next ladle. You want the rice mixture to cook at a slow simmer, gradually taking up the moisture from the broth with each ladle full. It should take about 30-35 minutes to stir in all 5 cups of broth. Enjoy the time it takes to make this risotto. Sip on a glass of wine or listen to a podcast while you cook. Steady the soul.<\/p>\n<p>Once the broth has been added to the risotto, add 1 teaspoon of salt, \u00bc of nutmeg and \u00bd teaspoon of cinnamon. Stir in 1 \u00bd cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Adjust for seasoning once more and serve immediately.<\/p>\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-748\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"748\"
