Redneck Risotto -

One of the first dishes I ever made was risotto.

Intimidating recipe, I know. Risotto is not known for being an easy recipe to make.

It takes time, a LOT of time, to get the right consistency. It also takes a lot of patience. Unlike regular rice where you add all the liquid at once, you have to cook the liquid in risotto 1/4-1/2 a cup at a time.

It’s a pain, but the end product is absolutely divine. There’s nothing quite like a good risotto.

Luckily, I’ve cracked the code for a much more simple risotto. This recipe anyone can make in under ten minutes. TEN MINUTES! That’s it.

Don’t snub your nose at the use of instant rice, either. I know it’s not the best rice to use, but you HAVE to use it in this recipe or the recipe won’t work.

With just a few ingredients and 10 minutes to spare, you can have an elegantly delicious risotto ready for dinner.

Enjoy!
