Ingredients

7 cups vegetable broth
1 tablespoon turmeric powder
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, thinly minced
2 cups Arborio rice (short grained)
2 tablespoons grated turmeric root
1 cup white wine
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 cups cooked artichoke hearts

Directions

1

In a medium pot, heat up the broth over medium-low heat, add the turmeric powder and salt, and stir well. Lower the heat to low and keep the broth hot until ready to serve.
2

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil and butter. Once melted, incorporate the onion and garlic, and stir. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until soft.
3

Add the rice and grated turmeric, constantly stirring until the rice starts to stick. Then add the cup of wine and continue stirring until the liquid evaporates.
4

Gradually add 1/2 cup of the hot broth at a time. When the rice absorbs it, add another half cup and so on. Stir constantly, for about 20-25 minutes until the rice is tender and creamy.
5

Remove from the heat and add the cup of Parmesan cheese and the artichokes that have been cut into halves. Mix together and serve hot.
