BASIC MICROWAVE RISOTTO



Basic Microwave Risotto image

Microwave Risotto is great because of its forgiving nature; if you forget it for a half hour, nothing is lost. Also, it is a wonderful clean-out-the-fridge, use-your-imagination, I-just-bounced-five-checks recipe. It reheats well too. You can use margarine or olive oil in place of the butter, and you can use apple juice or white grape juice in place of the wine.

Categories     Short Grain Rice

Time 40m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 small onions or 2 shallots, chopped
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or 3 tablespoons butter
1 cup arborio rice
3 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
milk (optional) or cream (optional)

Steps:

  • In a microwave safe bowl, combine the chopped onion and shortening. Microwave on high for 4 minutes, stirring once after 2 minutes.
  • Add the rice and stir to coat the grains with the oil. Microwave on high for 4 more minutes.
  • Add the chicken broth and return bowl to microwave. Cook the rice on high for 18 minutes, stirring once half way through. Stir again before the last 2 minutes and check to see that the liquid is almost all absorbed.

  • Add the cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Before serving, you may add whatever mined herbs you like, swirl in a pat or butter, or some milk or cream if you like a creamier risotto.
