So it has been a while since I posted anything on this blog. Life has been crazy this past year. I have changed careers and am now working from home. Now with some spare time on my hands I can get back to trying new recipes and using my wonderful husband as my guinea pig.
So for my first blog back I will share one of my husband's new favorite recipes. He has fallen in love with risotto and I have come up with a recipe that he absolutely loves.
Ashley's Risotto
4 Cups long grain rice
12 Cups water
1 large onion diced
Olive Oil
2 Cups grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbs chicken base (I like to use Farmer Brother's brand)
Combine water and chicken base in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. In a larger pot combine onion, rice, and enough oil to make the rice not stick to the bottom of the pan and brown the rice. Once the rice is a medium brown color start adding the boiling chicken stock to the pan one ladle full at a time slowly, allowing the rice to absorb most of the liquid before adding the next one. Once you have added all of the liquid and the rice is completely cooked stir in the cheese and serve.
This is a little time consuming but it is well worth it in the end. This is great with any kind of protein. We had it with smoked pork this week, and we have also had grilled chicken and steak with it.
