Ingredients

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

Where to find ingredients

All ingredients can be found at local grocery stores, neighborhood markets, or produce vendors. Grated cheese can be substituted with any hard, mild-flavored cheese if necessary.

Preparation method

  1. In a large pot, add the oil, crushed garlic, and the beef rib bouillon cube.
  2. Sauté the garlic and bouillon 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 dry out.
  7. When the water has nearly evaporated, reduce the heat to the lowest 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 firm or the mixture seems too dry.
  11. Continue cooking over low heat with the pot partially covered until the rice is tender.
  12. Once the risotto is ready and reaches the desired consistency, turn off the heat.
  13. Sprinkle the grated cheese and chopped green onions or parsley on top before serving.
