I based this on general packet mix risottos and experimented with similar ingredients. Most risottos take about 20 – 25 mins to make, this recipe takes about 15 mins and there’s no standing over the stove to make sure you’re not burning anything.

Ingredients

1 cup rice (risotto or basmati rice are best)

3 cups hot water

5 level teaspoons stock powder (I use a green vegetable stock but any stock powder is good)

75g butter

1/2 tsp salt

 

Method

Place all ingredients in a large microwave safe bowl

Stir Ingredients

Microwave for 8 minutes

Carefully remove with oven mits and stir

Microwave for 7 more minutes

Stir and let sit for 3 – 4 mintues.

 

Serves 2 -3 people depending on how fat they are.

TIP: Try not to substitute the butter unless you need to, it’s the key ingredient that makes this recipe delicious.
