10 Minute Microwave Risotto – Tonight’s Tea

10 Minute Microwave Risotto

This is a delicious risotto style dish that is quick and easy to prepare. It’s an easy dinner and very economical. Not for the risotto purists!

Ingredients

* 450g rice (long or short grain)
* 200ml chicken stock
* 50g sharp cheddar cheese, grated
* 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley

Preparation method

1. Place the rice and chicken stock in a large bowl and microwave for long enough to make the rice cooked to your taste – about 5 minutes.
2. When cooked, mix in the cheese and parsley and serve piping hot.

I’ve put some diced bacon with this but it can also be a vegetarian dish using vege stock instead of chicken.

Tonight I’m having this risotto with a grilled steak and some salad!

    Hi Ruby
    I didn't get the amount of stock right tonight and it was a bit dry πŸ™

    Hi Kylie,
    Would you need to double the amount of stock used, or how much extra do you think?

    It sounds delicious, and so very easy to make.

    Have a great week,
    Blessings,
    Jillian

    It should be fine as the recipe says, I was doing it just for one person and didn't put in enough stock. The first time I made it, it was fine.
