Risotto

By Lois

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.

  • 3 cups vegetable broth or 3 cups water + 2 vegetable bouillon cubes
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cinnamon basil (or regular fresh basil), chopped (optional)
Instructions
  1. Sauté the onion in the olive oil over medium heat until transparent, about 5 minutes.
