Sharing my appreciation for good home cooking as an expression of love.
Risotto from leftovers
We had some take-out a couple of days earlier, it was a whole chicken. As usual, the breast meat is always leftovers. Didn’t want it to spend anymore time in the fridge or I’d have to throw it out. I also had some rice in there,…. gave me an idea (^_^)
It’s risotto time! Or something like it.
one onion chopped, in the pot with some oil
Risotto is an Italian dish of rice cooked in stock with meat and veggies. My rice was already cooked so I improvised.
add three grated cloves of garlic and half a large carrot, also gratedstir stirwhile the carrots are softening, chop up the leftover chicken or whatever cooked meat you haveadd to the pot, stir. Then add 1/2 a teaspoon of turmeric powder, some cayenne pepper and some black pepper, stir again. If it’s supper dry, add a bit of water, you want it moist but not runnychop up about a handful of raisins and add them to the potstir, then add in the ricethe ricethe chicken and rice are already cooked, so once the rice is warmed up it’s ready to serve.chop up some dhania, once the rice is warm, turn off the fire and fold in the dhaniasliced bread to serve with itserved!
HusbandRating: is there more?
This was really good! Had nice colours too. Can probably do the same with leftover pasta.
