Risotto, Indian Ratatouille, Italian Chicken
Creamy and delicious, but it takes a little while to make it.
RECIPE IDEA:
Hi. It’s Lois. Risotto is a creamy rice side dish or you can eat it as a main dish. It is made from Arborio rice. I made some on Saturday night to accompany Italian Chicken and Indian Ratatouille and, of course, it was yummy. Since it takes about 45 minutes to make it, I don’t make it often. I’m mostly a “quick cook” and I try to prepare a meal in 30 minutes or less.
