Blue Cheese Risotto, two recipes

Blue Cheese Risotto is a dish with minimum ingredients but saturated taste thanks to the cheese

Time of preparation: 40 minutes Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients (for two portions):

Rice for risotto __ 200 grams (1 glass)
Blue Cheese____100 grams*
White dry wine ___1 glass (can be replaced with broth)
Parmesan ______30 grams
Vegetable broth/water__500 ml
Onion___________1/2 or one small

* If you use mild blue cheese, like gorgonzola, 100 grams is the right amount. If you like stronger and more saturated taste, take sharp blue cheese, but it would be better to reduce the amount to 70 grams.
