BASIC RISOTTO

Requirements of a good risotto are Arborio rice, very rich [homemade] chicken broth and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Omit or replace any one of these and you don't have risotto.

1/4 onion, chopped finely
1 cup Arborio rice

• Heat the butter and oil in a large based saucepan or deep fry pan.
• Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft.
• Stir in the rice and fry it for 2-3 minutes.
• Add 1/2 cup chicken broth; stir until liquid has been absorbed.
• Continue adding broth, always 1/2 cup at the time and stirring often until each addition has been absorbed before adding the next 1/2 cup.
• Keep adding and stirring until the rice is cooked through.
• Cooking time is approximately 30 minutes.

It began with posting a few recipes on line for the family. "zsuzsa is in the kitchen" has more than 1000 Hungarian and International recipes. What started out as a private project turned into a well visited blog. The number of visitors long passed the two million mark. I organized the recipes into an on-line cookbook. On top of the page click on "ZSUZSA'S COOKBOOK". From there click on any of the chapters to access the recipes. For the archive just scroll to the bottom of the page. I am not profiting from my blog, so visitors are not harassed with advertising or flashy gadgets. The recipes are not broken up with photos at every step. Where needed the photos are placed following the recipe. Feel free to cut and paste my recipes for your own use. Publication is permitted as long as it is in your own words and with your own photographs. However, I would ask you for an acknowledgement and link-back to my blog. Happy cooking!
