STEAMING A RISOTTO

Category: RECIPES:, Steam Oven — Tina @ 12:57 am

Have you ever felt like a risotto was out of your league? Try steaming one. Take 1 cup of arborio rice, 2 cups of chicken stock and a dash of white wine. Place in a flat ceramic dish and process in steam oven for 25 minutes. In the meantime fry up some chopped onions, garlic, mushroom in a little olive oil without browning. When rice is done, stir through fried mix and add grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup of whipping cream, some fresh herbs of your choice, freshly ground salt and black pepper. Serve immediately as a side dish or add other vegies (steamed asparagus, brocollini, pumpkin etc) for a light lunch.
You have to be a lateral thinker with the steam oven. Try steaming a custard instead of baking it. Try steaming a cake recipe instead of baking it and make sure you let us all know how you go with it!!
Bon Appetit
