TUSCAN CACCIATORE RISOTTO (RACHAEL RAY)



Tuscan Cacciatore Risotto (Rachael Ray) image

From Every Day with Rachael Ray. It was the December-January, 2007 edition. Am always looking for risotto or rice dishes to serve here at the home. As we serve rice at least once everyday, this one seemed to be one of those recipes that we could "play" around with. We enjoyed this very much! Didn't want to steal Rachael's thunder, so I posted it as she had it and explained what we did below.

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help distribute heat evenly and prevent the risotto from sticking.
  • Toast the rice: This will help develop the flavor of the risotto and give it a slightly nutty taste.
  • Add the liquid gradually: This will help the risotto cook evenly and prevent it from becoming too soupy.
  • Stir constantly: This will help prevent the rice from sticking to the pot and ensure that the risotto is creamy.
  • Cook the risotto until it is al dente: The rice should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Add the chicken and mushrooms: These will add flavor and texture to the risotto.
  • Finish the risotto with butter and Parmesan cheese: This will add richness and creaminess.
  • Serve the risotto immediately: This is when it is at its best.
