Easy Microwave Risotto
“Grandma Marie loved risotto — especially when she discovered she could make it in the microwave and didn’t have to stand over the pot and stir it.”
Ingredients
2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup arborio rice
3 cups chicken stock
1 tsp. salt (optional)
Directions
Cook in a microwave at full power. Uncovered.
Heat the butter and oil in an 11-by-8-by-2 inch dish for 2 minutes.
Stir in the onion, coating with butter and oil, and cook for another 4 minutes.
Stir in the rice, coating it well.
Stir in the stock. Cook the mixture for 9 minutes.
Stir and cook for another 9 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed.
Let the risotto rest several minutes before serving.
