fun foods: risotto

Brand and I have become pretty big HK fans, I think it’s because it’s entertaining and we like to cook. This last Friday night we had a HK dinner, can I tell you how yummy risotto is?! It seriously is so amazingly good! We’ve always watched the cooks mess up on risotto and have always wondered if it was really hard to make. Turns out it’s pretty easy to make, but it would be pretty difficult if you have other dishes to watch over! We really recommend that you try it, and lucky for you I’ve added the recipe below!

For the risotto you will need:
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
3-4 cups chicken stock/broth
1/2 medium onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, diced
2 table spoons butter
2 table spoons olive oil
1 cup rice
any add ins that you want (we used half a can of peas)

Equiptment:
Medium sauce pan
Heavy pot
ladle

Step 1:
Bring the chick stock/broth to a simmer in the medium sauce pan.

Step 2:
Add onion and garlic to the olive oil in a separate pot, saute over medium low heat until translucent.

Step 3:
Add rice to onion and garlic, lightly toast it stirring constantly over medium heat.Make sure to not brown the rice.
Step 4:
Add a ladle full of the chicken stock/broth to the rice, stir and cook until all the stock/broth is absorbed by the rice. Continue this step until the rice no longer absorbs the stock/broth or until the stock/broth is gone.
Step 5:
Add your other ingredients, we used peas.

Step 6:
Continue cooking and string until the rice is tender

Step 7:
Once rice had absorbed all the stock/broth stir in the butter and
Parmesan cheese.

Bon Appetit!

I am a new follower….found your ad on Shar's blog. I decided to subscribe when I read your fun fact that Julie &Julia inspires you to be a better cook. I love that movie and Julia Child. Maybe you will inspire me to cook even more.

Thanks for visiting my blog. Risotto is my second favorite food, next to mac n cheese. Now that you know how to make it, you can start experimenting with adding all kinds of "goodies" (I got that from Graham Elliot on Master Chef)like prawns, bacon, asparagus, or mushrooms.
