✨Lazy Risotto Rice (No-Stir Comfort)✨

Ingredients:
• 1 medium onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• Olive oil
• 1 cup jasmine rice, rinsed once
• 2½ cups chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup Grana Padano cheese, grated
• ½ lemon, juiced (or to taste)

Instructions:
1. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pot over medium heat.
2. Sauté the onion until soft and translucent, about 4–5 minutes.
3. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
4. Stir in the rinsed rice and lightly toast it with the onion and garlic for 1–2 minutes.
5. Pour in all the chicken broth, add fresh thyme, salt, and pepper.
6. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to a gentle simmer.
7. Cook until the rice is tender but still slightly al dente, letting most of the liquid absorb while leaving a little in the pot for creaminess.
8. Turn off the heat and stir in the grated Grana Padano until melted and creamy.
9. Finish by stirring in the juice of ½ lemon. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Bright, creamy, and comforting—simple food made special.
