George's World Famous Chicken Risotto

Risotto.jpg

Errr - that's "world famous" as in the American sense.

I am authorised to add the recipe here, which may not be reproduced in any but an edible form, and even that not for profit.... © George 2007

Ingredients for two.

  • Fry a small finely chopped onion with some finely chopped mushrooms in olive oil.
  • Add cooked chicken (sufficient for 2 - whatever your taste).
  • Add 2 handfuls of risotto (short grained) rice; fry and stir for a few minutes to coat with oil.
  • Add chicken stock (lovingly home-prepared previously by someone else). This should be approximately twice the volume of the rice you used, which will be half a pint of stock (that's 10 fluid ounces, you Americans, not eight).
  • At this point you add any herbs (I like tarragon), seasoning, and - the secret ingredient - which I am not authorised to reveal.
  • Cook with a lid for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Towards the end of the cooking time, add half a small tin of Jolly Green Giant sweetcorn niblets.
  • Serve with parmesan cheese to accompanying applause.

Well! There is absolutely no point in providing a recipe if the essential ingredient is secret...it's like publishing a knitting pattern with no stated tension!
