Microwave risotto


Not the real thing, but way easier!

Olive oil
Byutter
1 onion chopped
1 cup Abrorio rice (you can use regular rice in a pinch)
2 14 oz cans broth

1. Put two TBS oil and 2 TBS butter in flat bottom casserole and Nuke for 2 minutes.
2. Chop one onion and stir in oil/butter and nuke for 4 minutes.
3. Put one cup Arborio rice into casserole, stir to coat and Nuke for 4 minutes
4. Add two 14 oz. cans of Chicken broth to casserole and nuke for 5 minutes. Stir and repeat. Stir and repeat again.
5. Now timing gets a little tricky. Should only need another 2-8 minutes. You judge by amount of liquid and consistency.
6. Added ¼ cup grated Parmesan and any other flavor ingredient (sautéed mushrooms, sautéed tomatoes, shrimp, radicchio, etc.)
7. Let sit for 3-5 minutes to settle and cool.
