Shallot Garlic Olive Oil Risotto

1 cup Risotto
4 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup small dice Shallots
1/2 cup white wine
4 tablespoons Ah love Garlic Olive Oil
3 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup cream
1/2 cup grated parmesan

Pour the broth in a small pot and bring to a boil. When it reaches a boil, turn down the heat so the broth is at a simmer.

Place one tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in a saute pan on the stove over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the shallots, saute the shallots until translucent but not browned. Add the risotto and stir to coat. Add the wine, stir to coat, when evaporated or absorbed add two ladles full of broth. Stir to cover. When the broth has been absorbed, continue adding 1 ladle full of broth until the risotto is al dente and the broth has been absorbed. Add the cream and stir. Next add the cheese and the balance of the olive oil. Stir until fully incorporated. Serve immediately.
