Details

  • Preparation Time: 10 minutes
  • Cooking Time: 30 minutes
  • Difficulty: 1
  • Spiciness: 0
  • Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 spoons Oil, vegetable oil, canola

  • 1 piece Onion, raw

  • 1 pod Garlic, fresh

  • 1 piece Meat, chicken, breasts

  • 1 dl Alcohol, Wine, White

  • 300 g Rice, white, short grain

  • 0.5 piece Broccoli, fresh

  • 1 l Soup base, chicken, cube

  • 2 spoons Butter, unsalted

  • 1 spoon Cheese, Parmesan, grated

  • pieces Salt, table

Steps

  1. Peel the garlic and onion and chop them finely. Cut the chicken into cubes. Clean and wash the broccoli. Cut it in half lengthwise. Where the florets are held together, cut off some thinner slices that we will use to decorate the plate. Divide the rest of the broccoli into smaller florets.

  2. Heat oil in a deeper pan and sauté the garlic and onion over low heat until the onion becomes translucent. Add the meat and quickly sauté it until it is nicely browned. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Pour wine over the ingredients in the pan and wait for the alcohol to evaporate. Add the rice, stir, and gradually add hot broth. Cook for 5 minutes, then add the broccoli florets to the pan. Add more broth as needed and do not stir too much. Shake the pan to distribute the rice and cook it until it is 'al dente'. At the end, add 1 tablespoon of butter and Parmesan and mix the risotto well.

  4. In another pan, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and sauté the broccoli slices. Place the prepared risotto on plates. Garnish it with the sautéed broccoli slices and serve the prepared dish.

Advice

If you want to serve the risotto as a warm appetizer, you can serve it on a lettuce leaf. In this case, one heaped soup spoon of risotto will be enough. Instead of chicken, you can also use other meat, but be careful to cut it into thin slices (small pieces) so that it cooks in time or achieves the necessary tenderness.
