Ingredients

1 bunch of chopped green onions or parsley
200 g of 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 sweet corn (drained)
200 g of grated cheese
20 ml of soybean oil

Where to find ingredients

Find fresh produce and pantry staples at local markets or supermarkets. Beef bouillon cubes can be found in the seasoning aisle. Grated cheese, such as parmesan or a local equivalent, can be found in the dairy section.

Preparation method

  1. In a large pot, add the oil, crushed garlic, and the beef 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 begins to dry out.
  7. When the water is almost dry, reduce the heat to the lowest setting.
  8. Add the sweet corn and peas (both drained) and the shredded chicken to the pot.
  9. Gently mix 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 the desired consistency, turn off the heat.
  13. Sprinkle the grated cheese and chopped green onions or parsley on top before serving.
