Any good & easy to make risotto recipes? It musnt contain wine or mushrooms (as my kisd dont like them).
Answers: Ingredients
1 oz butter
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 pints of chicken stock
6 oz cooked chicken, chopped
4 oz chopped ham
4 oz chopped carrots
2 oz prawns
4 oz peas (cooked or frozen)
1 red pepper (deseeded and chopped)
12 oz of risotto rice
1 teaspoon of mixed, dried herbs
Pepper and salt
Grated parmesan cheese
1 large onion finely chopped
Method
Take a large fairly deep frying pan and pour in the oil. Heat until hot. Add the chopped
onions and fry for about half a minute until translucent. Then put in the rice and the carrots
and cook for a minute or two more until the rice has also gone translucent.
. Pour in half the stock and the chopped peppers
and a little pepper and salt. Cook uncovered until the rice is dry but not sticking. Add the
remaining stock, chicken, chopped ham, peas and prawns and cook for a few more minutes,
until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the moisture (it should be a creamy consistency).
Add the butter and herbs, stirring it well and if you like, transfer it to a suitable dish to
serve at the table. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top and accompany the risotto with
some nice crusty bread and salad. It is delicious! i know the recipe
There are many theories as to how to make the perfect risotto but there are a couple of key points everyone agrees on: you need the right type of the rice and you need a decent, hot stock.
How you add the stock is a matter for debate. Traditionally it's ladled over the rice and lots of stirring takes place until the stock is absorbed. However, modern time-saving methods involve adding all the stock at once and popping the whole thing in the oven or just cooking it gently over the stove.
With the combination of different grains, stocks, flavourings and methods of cookery, you can ring the changes to make a huge variety of dishes.
Rice varieties
The three most popular grains of risotto rice you'll find are:
Arborio The most popular grain, it is large and rounded and has a wonderful creamy texture.
Carnaroli Fork's favourite grain - this long, elegant grain that tends to hold its shape well even when completely cooked. It's a good choice if you find your risotto always turns a little mushy.
Vialone nano Now available in this country, this is said to have the creamiest, smoothest texture of all.
Get risotto rice, put some oil in a pan and slowly fry some onions until soft but not brown...about quarter of an onion will do.....put rice in pan and coat with the oil....add hot stock. chicken stock cube in boiling water will do....keep stirring for about 15 mins until rice creamy...add what ever you want...usually Parmesan cheese, puree garlic, and then whatever, seafood, chicken are good...and that's it.
or try the other methods
Just sub chicken stock or veggie stock for wine in any recipe you like......
