Title: Risotto for Chemo Patients
Categories: Poultry, Rice, Vegetables, Cheese, Wine
Yield: 2 Servings
3 c Chicken broth
1/2 c Dry white wine
1 c Arborio rice; uncooked
1 md Onion; peeled; diced fine
2 tb Olive oil
2 tb Butter
1/4 c Parmesan cheese; grated
Salt & pepper
Creamy rice dish--comforting and delicious
Put the chicken or vegetable broth into a pot and heat on the stove
until boiling, then reduce to a simmer.
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add olive oil and 1 tb butter,
heating until butter foams. Add onions and saute over medium heat
until translucent but not brown. Add rice, stirring to coat grains
with oil. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon until the rice turns
translucent. A metal spoon might break up the rice grains too much.
Reduce heat to low.
Add the white wine, and continue to stir until the wine is
absorbed. Add the hot chicken stock, 1/2 cup at a time. Stir,
allowing each 1/2 cup stock to be absorbed by the rice before the
next one is added. This part of the process can take 15 to
20 minutes.
After all the liquid has been added, and the risotto has become
creamy (it should be chewy but fully cooked), remove pan from heat.
Add remaining tablespoon butter and Parmesan cheese, then salt and
pepper to taste.
Serve immediately.
Yield: 2 Sevings
Variations:
Add a handful of thawed frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of
cooking. Sauté mushrooms with onions. Top the dish with sliced
poached chicken. Add fresh herbs at the end like chives, parsley,
dill, chervil, tarragon, and basil + a little lemon zest.
