Chicken Recipes - Eric's Irresistible Red Risotto
1 T olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
1 1/4 C Italian rice
2 C water
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1/4 cup dried Porcini mushrooms
2 T chopped sun dried tomatoes
1/4 C Parmesan cheese
1 can chicken
Pinch saffron
1/4 C red wine (optional)
This is a semi-traditional risotto
that is best done with an MSR
Dragonfly stove that will simmer.
If cooking with an older stove without
simmer capabilities, a Scorchbuster
simmer plate is best used to diffuse
the heat of the direct flame.
(The red wine is also optional in
the recipe and may be consumed
before the meal but may impair the
cook after a long day's hike!)
In a 2 liter pot, pour in the oil,
and heat over a low flame.
No low flame? Work quickly then!
Sauté the garlic, then add in the rice.
Allow the rice to brown.
You may add in the optional wine that
will either quickly evaporate; or drink
it separately to make you forget about
those sore muscles that won't forgive
you for the last 3 miles!
Add all the water.
Add in the bouillon cubes, dried mushrooms,
and sun dried tomatoes.
The mushrooms and tomatoes will expand some
but not enough to scare the rice out of the pot.
Stir frequently while the water boils down to
small bubbles between the grains of rice,
approximately 15-20 minutes.
Turn off the stove.
Add in the cheese and mix well.
Serve on a plate warmed over the pot and add
a pinch of saffron.
Yeah, I know the stuff is more expensive per
ounce than gold, so don't drop it in the dirt!
