Basic Microwave Risotto

Helloooo. Hellooo? Anyone still herrrre???

This is so easy and tastes just like the risottos I've had in Italy. Great dish for company.

3 T butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 onion chopped fine
1 1/2 c vegetable broth
1 c uncooked Arborio rice
3/4 c white wine
1/4 c grated parmesan

1. In a 3 qt microwave safe casserole dish, place first 3 ingredients. Place in microwave on high for 3 minutes.

2. Add broth and rice into casserole dish, cover tightly and cook on high for 6 minutes.

3. Stir wine into the rice. Cook on high for 10 minutes more. Stir cheese into rice and serve.

You can add almost anything to this to make it more nutritious. I added chopped bell peppers to the onion mixture and then chopped walnuts and extra parmesan at the end.

A fantastic substitute for boring rice/pasta.
