Risotto is one of those dishes that I can’t pass up when I see it on a restaurant menu. I love the creamy texture and rich flavor.
I know a lot of people think making risotto is complicated. I admit it can be but this version is not. It is actually really easy and ideal for a quick weeknight dinner.
Risotto is a traditional Italian dish made with rice and broth. Depending on the flavor of your recipe you might use chicken, beef, or vegetable stock. For the majority of risotto recipes I tried you add the broth in slowly while stirring almost constantly for 30 to 45 minutes.
For this recipe you will cook the rice in chicken broth. This eliminates the constant stirring plus cooking the rice this way gives it extra flavor.
I jokingly call this recipe Risotto for Dummies (or Geniuses). The Hubby just calls it good. Either way I hope you’ll try the recipe and love it as much as we do.
