Recipe
Serves 4
Ingredients
200g Roast chicken, picked of the bone
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tin of Sweetcorn
500ml Chicken stock
100g Butter, unsalted, Divided
½ brown onion, diced
170g Aborio rice
275ml white wine
100g Parmesan
Method
Dice 1 onion into an equal sized brunoise.Add 20g of butter to the pan, then add onion and then rice. Dry cook your rice until the onions are soft and translucent. (Allowing the risotto rice to absorb the fat), deglaze with white wine, and cook until almost gone.
Add chicken stock in small ladles, allowing the risotto to cook slowly and evenly. (it is essential that there is not too much risotto in the pan, too much causes uneven cooking)
Add your roast chicken and sweetcorn
When your risotto is almost ready add your parmesan, the butter and emulsify. Add salt and pepper.
