Ingredients

1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
125 g finely chopped onion
150 g Arborio rice
60 ml dry white wine
720 ml boiling vegetable broth
115 g sliced hearts of palm
60 g grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook and stir the onion until it starts to turn golden brown at the edges, about 2 minutes. Add the Arborio rice and stir until the rice is coated in oil and begins to toast, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 2
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the white wine. Cook until mostly evaporated, then stir in 1/3 of the boiling vegetable broth. Continue stirring until the broth is fully incorporated. Repeat this process two more times, stirring constantly. This should take 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 3
When the rice is almost tender but still has a slight crunch, stir in the hearts of palm and Parmesan cheese until fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional minute to heat through, then stir in the parsley and remaining tablespoon of butter. Serve hot.
