If you're like me risotto just sounds fancy to me. Risotto is great to pair with chicken, fish, or even veggies. This is a very simple and flavorful dish. Risotto is said to be a dish you have to be very patient with, but I find that in this recipe, that's not necessarily the case.

INGREDIENTS

1 Cup Rice ; Uncooked
1 Tbsp Butter
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Onion ; Chopped
2 Tbsp Parsley
3 1/2 Cups Chicken Broth
1/2 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
2 tsp Black Pepper

Servings

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In skillet heat butter and oil, until butter is melted. Cook onion and parsley for 5 min.

2. Stir in rice until kernels are translucent. Stir in 1/2 cup chicken borth and cook until absorbed.

3. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in 1 cup of chicken broth, cook until absorbed, about 5 min.

4. Repeat adding 1 cup of chicken broth until rice is cooked throughly.

5. Stir in cheese and pepper.

NOTES

As always, garnish your dish. You can serve as a bed for chicken or fish, or as a great side dish. Garnish with fresh herbs. I like to use celery leaves. it adds a fresh crisp to the dish.
