Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth (kept warm)
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups cauliflower florets, finely chopped
2-3 teaspoons truffle oil (or use fresh truffle shavings if available)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh chives or parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

Prepare the Broth:
- In a saucepan, heat the vegetable or chicken broth over low heat. Keep it warm but not boiling.
Sauté the Onion:
- In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent.
Toast the Rice:
- Add the Arborio rice to the skillet with the sautéed onion. Stir for a minute or two until the rice is well-coated with the butter and oil and heated through.
Add the Wine:
- Pour in the white wine and cook until it's mostly absorbed by the rice.
Cook the Risotto:
- Begin adding the warm broth to the rice, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently and allowing each ladle of broth to be absorbed before adding more. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and cooked to your desired level of doneness, usually about 18-20 minutes.
Add the Cauliflower and Truffle:
- About 5 minutes before the risotto is done, stir in the finely chopped cauliflower and truffle oil. Continue to cook until the cauliflower is tender.
Season and Finish:
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season the risotto with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well.
Serve Hot:
- Serve the Risotto with Cauliflower and Truffles hot, garnished with chopped fresh chives or parsley.
