Risotto:
Ingredients
3 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup uncooked Arborio rice
3/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Recipe:
1. In a three quart, microwave safe casserole dish combine butter, garlic and onion. Place dish in microwave and cook on high for three minutes.
2. Place vegetable broth in a microwave safe dish. Heat on microwave until the broth is hot but not boiling (This should take approximately two minutes).
3. Stir the rice and broth into the casserole dish with the onion, butter and garlic mixture. Cover the dish tightly and cook on high for six minutes.
4. Stir wine into the rice. Cook on high for ten minutes more. Most of the liquid should boil off. Stir the cheese into the rice and serve.
If you want to impress your significant other, this is a go to dish! It is very hard to mess this up but very easy to make your own. You can add cooked chicken, thawed shrimp or peas for added flavor. Also, substitute the white wine for apple juice. For the shrimp just add them when there are two cooking minutes left and they will cook to perfection. To top off your special evening, get some ice cream and make this delicious chocolate sauce:
Ice Cream Sundaes:
Ingredients:
2 parts brown sugar
1 part cocoa powder
Water
Recipe:
1. In a microwave safe mug, stir sugar and cocoa powder together.
2. Stream in water while stir just until mixture is just moist. Don't over moisten!
3. Place in microwave and cook on high for 20-30 seconds. Make sure you watch the sauce because it can easily burn or boil over. Remove, stir and pour over your favorite ice cream. Spice it up with other toppings of your choice.
