Here is how you make Kelly's Risotto base:

*Place entire box of chicken stock in a sauce pan over medium heat. You want it to steam but not boil.*Zest lemon (or other citrus). When you are done, you can thinly slice the fruit (removing any seeds) and place in chicken stock. This helps absorb a little more flavor.*Place a large frying pan on the stove, add the oil oil, and bring to medium heat.* When oil is warm, place rice in pan. Stir the rice frequently until it becomes a lightly brown color. ***(It will take a little while to turn, but it will make the shift suddenly. Stirring frequently prevents burning) * When rice is browned, add white wine. It should bubble in the pan. If it does not bubble, turn heat up slightly.*Stir rice and wine until all liquid is absorbed.*Remove any citrus slices from the chicken stock* When all the liquid is absorbed, slowly add in chicken stock (1/4c or ladle at a time). Make sure all of the liquid is absorbed before adding more stock to the frying pan mixture.*Occasionally check that the stock is still steaming but not boiling.*Continue adding stock until all liquid is incorporated.* At the very end, stir in the citrus zest.*serve hot or allow to cool and place in tightly sealed sandwich bags*** If freezing in sandwich bags, be certain to squeeze all the air out of the bag. To reheat these bags, place in pot of boiling water for 5 minutes and then checking every 2 minutes until risotto is warm.Serving Size: makes 4 servings (about 1/3c each)Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user KELLYDRESCHER.
