6 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup finely chopped sweet onion
1/2 cup finely chopped sweet red pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons butter
3 cups uncooked arborio rice
1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
Dash cayenne pepper
1/4 cup apple cider or juice
1 large pear, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

In a large saucepan, heat broth and keep warm. In a Dutch oven, saute the onion, red pepper and garlic in butter until tender, about 3 minutes.
2
Add the rice, five-spice powder and cayenne; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; add cider. Cook and stir until all of the liquid is absorbed.
