Instructions
 

  • Prep your ingredients: Gather all ingredients and have your vegetable broth simmering on low heat.
  • Sauté aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion; cook until translucent (about 5 minutes). Stir in minced garlic for another minute.
  • Toast rice: Add arborio rice, stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes until lightly toasted.
  • Gradually add broth: Pour in warmed vegetable broth one ladle at a time, stirring constantly until most liquid is absorbed before adding more.
  • Add broccoli: When rice is nearly cooked (about 15 minutes in), add fresh broccoli florets. Stir until rice is creamy and al dente (about 5 more minutes).
  • Finish with cheese: Remove from heat, fold in grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and black pepper to taste.
