Ri-sot-to

Isn’t this just like any other rice we eat? Apparently not… This little Arborio rice buggers have high starch content which absorbs flavors easily, which in-turn a very “yum-yum” food. But not many people can cook out the flavors easily… including me. Reluctant to try cooking this all the time I passed the pasta aisle in supermarket, I decided to just pick it up one day and attempt to cook it. And this is the result… Chicken, mushroom, and beans risotto.

It wasn’t too much of a creamy texture as I did not add cheese into this, nor too much of the “kicking” flavor because I have no white wine in stock. Just chicken stock to maintain its flavor. I say this is not a bad dish… I shall do it again! But you know what, it tastes a little like congee texture. Haha! Won’t work without this helpful ‘hand’ from the Super Food Ideas magazine, but with my own variation. There are many risotto recipes can be found here.

Eat up and away~~~

By the way… this is Italian!
