DIXIE ROSE’S BROWN RICE RISOTTO
From “Cooking Hawaiian Style Two” by Lanai Tabura and Frank Abraham
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 asparagus, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cups organic brown rice
- 1 liter (33.8 ounces) chicken stock
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
In large pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil and stir-fry chicken, asparagus, garlic and mushrooms; set aside.
Wash rice and, over medium-high, saute in pan with remaining olive oil for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and fragrant. Reduce heat to medium, add stock, 1 cup at a time, and stir continously until liquid is absorbed.
After 30-35 minutes, add chicken and vegetables back to pan and gently fold into rice. Add cheese and cream and top off with lemon zest. Serves 6 to 8.
