Ingredients

  • 2 cups risotto rice (arborio rice)
  • 1 12 cups white wine
  • 6 cups chicken stock (or bullion)
  • 3 cups chicken, cooked and cubed (grilled tastes great!)
  • 1 cup spinach (if frozen, thaw)
  • 1 cup peas (if frozen, thaw)
  • 8 ounces mushroom stems and pieces, drained
  • 12 cup parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. 1
    ["Bring 6 cups of chicken stock or broth to a boil in a pot.", "You will want to maintain a slow boil through the duration of your cooking process.", "In a separate (larger than you think you'll need) pot, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat.", "When butter stops bubbling and becomes slightly golden in color, add 2 cups risotto (arborio rice) and stir continuously for 2-3 minutes until rice takes on a very subtle color.", "A wooden spoon seems to work best for this dish, and you will always want to be sure to stir the whole pot, scraping down the bottom and sides and turning the rice over on itself.", "Add half of the wine to the buttered rice.", "Stir thoroughly and continuously.", "When rice has absorbed most of the wine (this will happen quickly), add the other half.", "When rice has again absorbed most of the wine in, add approximately 1/2 to 1 cup of the boiling chicken stock.", "You will repeat this process continually over the next 20 minutes or so.", "A good indication of when to add more stock to the rice is when you can drag your spoon through the mixture, down to the bottom of the pot, and the rice takes a bit to fill in the \"valley\"".""
