Everyday Chicken and Vegetable Rice Risotto (Risoto de arroz caseiro simples)

Ingredients

1 bunch of chopped spring onion or parsley
200 g shredded chicken
Salt to taste
1.5 litres boiling water
1 can of peas (drained)
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
2 cups of white rice
1 beef bouillon cube (costela style)
1 can of sweet corn (drained)
200 g grated cheese
20 ml soy oil

Where to find ingredients

Find fresh produce and pantry staples at local supermarkets; for the bouillon cube, look for beef or hearty stock options; common shredded chicken can be prepared by poaching chicken breast or using leftover roast chicken.

Preparation method

  1. In a large pot, add the oil, 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 starts to look dry
  7. When the water has almost evaporated, reduce the heat to the lowest setting
  8. Add the sweet corn and peas (drained) along with 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 firm or the mixture looks too dry
  11. Continue to cook over low heat with the lid partially on until the rice is tender
  12. When the risotto is ready and reaches your desired consistency, turn off the heat
  13. Sprinkle with the grated cheese and the chopped spring onion or parsley before serving
