Meat Based
This special extra starchy rice makes a delicious creamy meal that pairs perfectly with mushrooms. If you don’t like chicken then beets, shrimp or pumpkin squash can also be good options.

Ingredients
  

  • 400 g Chicken
  • 1 Onion

  • 5 cup Chicken Stock
  • 1 cup Dry white wine or brandy
  • 1/2 cup Sharp Cheese
  • Parsley to garnish
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Dice the chicken roughly. Brown the chicken on each side with butter, salt and mixed herb. Inside should not be fully cooked.
  • In the same pan, sautè the mushrooms and diced onions in butter for 5min.
  • At the same time bring the stock to a boil in a different saucepan.
  • Add the rice and the wine to the mushrooms and reduce liquid by half.

  • Add simmered stock 1/2 cup at a time and wait until all the juice is almost all soaked up by the rice before the next 1/2 cup. This process should take about 25min.
  • Add chicken bits after the second cup of stock
  • Taste the rice. It should be still slightly chewy and not overcooked. When ready, turn off stove, put cheese in and 1/3 cup of stock. Add salt and pepper (I like it very peppery).
