An easy risotto with the intense flavor of a roast chicken dinner. RECIPE Brown Chicken Risotto (serves two, multiply as needed) olive oil 1 boneless chicken thigh 2 small shallots 2 small carrots 1/2 cup risotto rice white wine (about 1/2 cup) chicken stock (2-3 cups) 1 bay leaf dried sage dried thyme salt pepper 2-3 cloves of garlic 1/2 cup frozen peas butter parmesan or pecorino cheese Get a reasonably wide pan on medium-high heat. Coat the bottom with olive oil, and cook the chicken thigh until brown on both sides. While the chicken is cooking, cut the shallots and carrots into small pieces. When the chicken is brown, remove it, and dump in the carrots and shallots. Cook the vegetables until at least some of them are brown and you're worried the pan is going to scorch. Put in the rice, stir, and let sit for a minute until the bottom layer of rice is brown and smells nutty. Deglaze with enough white wine to cover the rice. When the wine has reduced down substantially, pour in enough stock to generously cover the rice. Add the bay leaf, a pinch of sage and thyme, and pepper. Cut the chicken thigh into small pieces and add those back to the pan. Simmer until the stock has been mostly absorbed, during which time you can peel and chop the garlic. Continue to add small amounts of stock and stir until the rice tastes like it's almost done but is still a little crunchy. Turn the heat off, melt in butter and cheese to taste, mix in the peas, garlic and another splash of white wine. Test for seasoning, then eat

I got you this time, Saint AdamQ: Why don't you make it the way my mom/another eChef/this cookbook says to make it? A: I explained any and all possible variations from the typical Risotto cooking method and the reasonings behind them in the video, watch the video all the way to the end. Q: White wine? Why not juice, but the alcohalz, are you a drunk? A: I've explained how a little wine isn't going to shoot your liver in another video, watch that video. Q: Do I have to do it exactly the way you do it? What about XYZ? A. This is made to my own taste. I ain't holding the superior crust crisping power of a Steel Pizza Stone to your head. You do you.

Risotto is one of my absolute most favorite things to eat. I especially love the brown butter and pumpkin version we make around the fall. But the most restrictive part about making it is the cost of the rice. We would make it all the time in different versions, but compared to the giant bags of rice we pick up normally, that fancy Arborio rice is expensive So I guess I'll just have to live with it being a seasonal comfort food favorite.

I haven't tried doing it this way where you add all the stock in at once but i think the traditional method of stirring in small amounts of stock and waiting for it to reduce gives a creamier texture. The way you're doing it is basically boiling rice and the starch wont be released as much because there will be less friction in a big pot of broth opposed to risotto cooking in just a small amount of liquid.

I think stirring can affect the risotto's creaminess quite a bit. I often make risotto the same way I make regular rice, covered and no stirring, and the texture is always a bit more chunked up than regular risotto(which I honestly don't mind. I think stirring can break up some of the rice to give off more starch and prevent bonds from forming like how you stir a custard to prevent scrambling it.

Can we get a video on how to make homemade stock? Chicken and beef stock especially are used in so many American recipes I come across, but since these products are for some inane reason completely unavailable here in Sweden, I always have to begrudgingly substitute water.

Embrace the memes. You won't survive otherwise. We all know and appreciate the quality of your work, the memes are just a way for viewers to have fun, it doesn't mean that that's their takeaway. You do good stuff, great content, good work.

I don't know why, but whenever you have a close up shot of your face, i always feel like a teacher had taken me to the hall to have a one on one conversation about how I can do better if I just tried harder.

Im not going to finish my risotto with Parmesan - instead I will finish it with mascarpone which will give it a much better result. Also, Im going to season the dish with a Knorr chicken stock pot.
