Simple Homemade Rice Risotto (Risoto de arroz caseiro simples)

Ingredients

1 bunch of chopped chives 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

You can find these staples at local supermarkets and neighborhood grocery stores. As a substitute for the beef bouillon cube, you can use a chicken bouillon cube or homemade vegetable stock.

Preparation method

  1. In a large pot, add the oil, the 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 has nearly evaporated, reduce the heat to the lowest setting
  8. Add the sweet corn, the 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 lid partially covering the pot until the rice is tender
  12. When the risotto is ready and reaches the desired consistency, turn off the heat
  13. Sprinkle with the grated cheese and the chopped chives or parsley before serving
