VERY YUMMY RICE

Very Yummy Rice image

As the name says, this is a very YUMMY rice dish. I like to make this with a beef roast or steaks. You can substitute fresh mushrooms for the canned (brown them first in a little olive oil). You can also use almond slivers instead of the sliced almonds. Another variation is to use 1 cup of brown rice and 1 cup of white rice, although I have not yet tried that combination myself.

YUMMY BROWN RICE

Yummy Brown Rice image

I was sitting around one day wondering how to make my brown rice taste good and this is what I came up with. Makes a very flavorful side dish. I'm sure it could use some tuning up in the fat department, but it's oh so good! This dish goes GREAT with chicken, pork, steak - pretty much any main dish - and takes the "blah" out of brown rice while adding an excellent source of healthy grains.

Tips:

Use high-quality rice: The type of rice you use will have a big impact on the final dish. Look for a medium-grain rice that is specifically designed for risotto, such as Arborio or Carnaroli. These rices have a high starch content, which helps to create the creamy texture that is characteristic of risotto.
Toast the rice: Toasting the rice before adding the liquid is an essential step in making risotto. This helps to bring out the flavor of the rice and prevent it from becoming mushy. To toast the rice, heat a little olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring constantly, until the rice is golden brown.
Use a good broth: The broth you use to make risotto is also important. Use a flavorful broth that will complement the other ingredients in the dish. Chicken broth, vegetable broth, and seafood broth are all good options.
Add the liquid gradually: When adding the liquid to the risotto, do it gradually, one ladle at a time. This will help to prevent the rice from becoming too mushy. Stir the rice constantly as you add the liquid, to ensure that it absorbs the liquid evenly.
Cook the risotto until it is creamy and tender: Risotto should be cooked until it is creamy and tender, but still has a slight bite to it. This usually takes about 18-20 minutes. Taste the risotto as it cooks, and adjust the cooking time as needed.
Stir in butter and cheese: Once the risotto is cooked, stir in some butter and grated Parmesan cheese. This will help to add richness and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. By following these tips, you can make a perfect risotto every time. So get creative and experiment with different flavors and ingredients to find your favorite risotto recipe.
