Springtime Risotto (The New Menus )

Springtime Risotto

INGREDIENTS :

• 1 tsp butter

• 2 Tbsp softened butter

• 1 cup parsley, chopped chopped chives to taste

• 1 Tbsp mint, if desired

• 2 tsp roasted garlic (from a jar)

• 2 cups chicken broth mixed with 3 cups water onion powder to taste

• 1-1/2 cups Arborio rice

• 1/4 cup evaporated milk (or whole or half & half)

• 3 Tbsp Parmesan cheese

HOW TO MAKE IT :

In a food processor, put the 2 Tbsp butter, parsley, chives, mint and garlic and process to almost a paste.

In a saucepan, simmer the broth & water.

In another pan, melt the 1 tsp butter, add onion powder and rice and saute till rice glistens, about 2 minutes. Add hot broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring till liquid is absorbed.

Do this till rice is al dente, about 20 minutes - you may not need all of the broth.

Add evaporated milk and heat and stir. Add herb paste and Parmesan; stir.
