Three Cheese Risotto

If you like rice you have to try Risotto!!

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 c chopped onions
salt and white pepper
6 c chicken stock
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
2 cups Arborio rice
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 c heavy cream
1/4 c grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1/4 c grated Ramano cheese
1/4 c Asiago cheese
2 tablespoons chopped chives

In a large saute pan, over medium heat add the olive oil. When the oil is hot add the onions and season with salt and pepper. Saute for 3 minutes or until slightly soft. Add the stock and garlic. Bring the liquid to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 6 minutes. Add the rice and simmer for 18 minutes stirring constantly or until mixture is creamy and bubbly(I taste it at this point to see if the rice is cooked or not). Add the butter, cream and cheeses. Reseason with salt and pepper. Simmer for 2 minutes and top with chives.
Serve immediately
