Because my friends on Facebook were giving me a hard time with posts about meals I have cooked, I decided to create a blog dedicated to said meals. Here you will find a wonderful description of the meal, as well as pictures and ingredients and a recipe.

The Easiest Mushroom Risotto

By the name, Risotto seems like an ominous side dish. It is in fact very easy to make and can compliment almost any meal.


Ingredients:
1/3 Cup of Chopped Onion
1 Tbs Margarine
2/3 Cup Rice (uncooked)
2 Cups Water
1 tsp Chicken Bouillon
2/3 Cup Chopped Mushrooms
1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese

Melt margarine in a medium sized sauce pan. When the margarine is melted, add the chopped onion. Cook until tender. (Do not caramelize onions, only cook until tender.) When onions are cooked (slightly see through) add the rice to the mixture and cook for an addition 2 minutes. Stir rice frequently so as not to burn the rice.
After the rice is cooked, add the 2 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of bouillon. Mix well. Bring the water to a boil, then add the chopped mushrooms. (Mushrooms can either be just the buttons or include the stem.) Cover the rice and simmer for 20 minutes.


When rice is finished cooking, add the 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese and mix well. Replace lid and allow to sit for an additional 5 minutes.
