Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 onions, thinly sliced
  • 6 cups cabbage, shredded (green or Savoy)
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 5 1/2 cups vegetables or 5 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 1/2 cups arborio rice, uncooked
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • salt and pepper

Method

  • In a large, non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, cabbage and thyme and saute until the onions are golden, 10 to 12 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the broth and wine and heat to simmering.
  • When the onions are golden, add the rice and toss to coat with oil. Add 1 cup of the simmering broth to the rice and stir until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Continue adding more broth, 1 cup at a time, cooking and stirring as the liquid is absorbed. It will take a total of 18 to 35 minutes for most of the liquid to be absorbed and the rice to become tender and creamy.
  • Stir in the Parmesan. Season to taste with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot.
