This risotto can be customized for any season. For best results, be sure to dice all the vegetables in advance; keep the stock boiling while you add it slowly; and use the highest-quality, freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- 1 small white or yellow onion, diced
- 1/2 pound arborio rice
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 quart organic, low-salt chicken or vegetable stock, boiling
- Small portions late-summer or early-autumn squashes, peppers, mushrooms, corn, celery, peas, carrots, or leafy greens, diced or chopped
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- Squeeze of fresh lemon juice
- Salt and fresh pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place a deep soup pot over medium heat. Add butter or oil and stir, making sure to coat sides. Add onion and cook until translucent. Stir in rice and toast for 2-3 minutes, being careful not to let it burn.
- Add wine and cook until absorbed, 3- 5 minutes.
- One ladle at a time, add half of the piping hot stock, adding more only when the rice threatens to burn or stick to the pot. Continue to stir often.
- When rice is al dente (10-15 minutes), add vegetables. Stir. Continue to add remaining stock as before until all has been incorporated, 10-15 minutes more. Stir in cheese. Add rosemary and lemon juice, stir, season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
