Simple homemade rice risotto (Risoto de arroz caseiro simples)

Ingredients

1 bunch of chopped chives or parsley
200 g shredded chicken
Salt to taste
1.5 liters of boiling water
1 can of peas (drained)
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
2 cups of rice
1 beef bouillon cube
1 can of corn (drained)
200 g grated cheese
20 ml of soybean oil

Where to find ingredients

You can find these staples at local markets and grocery stores. For the bouillon cube, a standard beef-based stock cube can be used; if unavailable, a savory vegetable stock cube is a suitable substitute.

Preparation method

  1. In a large pot, add the oil, the crushed garlic, and the beef bouillon cube
  2. Sauté the garlic and the bouillon cube in the oil over medium heat until fragrant
  3. Add the rice to the pot and sauté for about 2 minutes, stirring well so the grains are coated in the seasoning
  4. Pour the boiling water into the pot and season with salt to taste
  5. Stir everything together
  6. Cover the pot and cook over medium heat until the rice has absorbed almost all the water and begins to dry out
  7. When the water is almost dry, reduce the heat to the minimum setting
  8. Add the corn and peas (both drained) and the shredded chicken to the pot
  9. Mix gently to incorporate the ingredients into the rice
  10. Add a little more boiling water if the rice is still hard or the mixture seems too dry
  11. Let it cook over low heat with the pot partially covered until the rice is tender
  12. When the risotto is ready and has reached the desired consistency, turn off the heat
  13. Sprinkle the grated cheese and the chopped chives or parsley over the top before serving
