Add about 1 cup chicken stock (enough to just cover the rice) and cook, stirring constantly, until the stock is absorbed. Continue adding stock, 1 cup at a time, stirring until it is absorbed before adding more. The rice is done when it is just cooked through and lightly bound with creamy liquid, about 15 minutes.

THREE-CHEESE RISOTTO

Steps:

• Melt the butter and olive oil together in a large, shallow saucepan, add the onion and garlic, and cook for 5-10 mins until soft. Add the risotto rice and cook for 2-3 mins, getting a good covering in the fats and giving the rice a slightly toasted flavour.
• Add the white wine and cook until it has reduced away. Add the warm chicken stock, a ladleful at a time, and stir into the rice - when it has been absorbed, add more. You may not need to add all the stock, but keep adding until the rice is cooked al dente. It will take around 15 mins to get the risotto to the right consistency.
• Take the rice pan off the heat and stir in the cheeses, season and leave to rest for 3-4 mins. Serve with the roasted poussins, morel sauce and some wilted Baby Gem lettuce leaves.

CREAMY, CHEESY RISOTTO

Steps:

• Warm chicken broth either on stove or in microwave.
• In a 2 quart saucepan or large skillet (non stick works well) heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add shallots and saute for 1-2 minutes until softened.
• Raise heat to medium high, add rice and salt, stirring constantly for 2 minutes, until rice just begins to turn slightly golden in color.
• Add wine and stir until almost completely evaporated.
• Begin adding chicken broth, about 1/2 cup at a time.
• After each 1/2 cup addition of broth, stir frequently, until broth is almost evaporated and add the next 1/2 cup.
• Do the same for each addition of broth, stirring frequently.
• Begin tasting the rice for doneness during the last two additions of broth for tenderness--it should be al dente-tender with a slight bite to it.
• If rice is not done after the last addition, continue cooking as above adding additional 1/2 cups of broth until done. The entire process should take about 20 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in cheese, cayenne and pecans or pine nuts. You can also add the additional teaspoon of butter if you want it extra rich at this point.
• Adjust the salt if needed, remembering that there is a lot of salt in cheese and possibly in the type of broth you use.
• Serve hot.

LEFTOVER RISOTTO CAKES

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet pan with the oil or pan spray like I use.
• In a bowl, stir the egg well. In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and the salt and pepper.
• Form round balls from the rice. make a pit in the center of the rice cake and fill it with the shredded cheese. Smooth out the top to keep the cheese inside.
• Dip the rice cake into the egg first and then into the breadcrumbs. Lay them into the heated pan and sautee for about 3 minutes and flip. Cook on the other side until golden brown.
• Garnish with lemon wedges.
