Microwave Risotto

[Saule]

1. Heat butter and oil in a microwave safe pie pan, uncovered, for two minutes on high.
2. Add onion, stir, cook for four minutes on high.
3. Stir in rice to coat, cook four minutes on high.
4. Mix saffron into broth, add to rice, cook on high for nine minutes.
5. Stir and cook on high for nine minutes more.
6. Let the risotto sit for a few minutes, then add the cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. If your broth is salted, taste before adding salt!
7. Microwaves vary in wattage, and you may need to adjust the amount of time up or down.

How much broth? the recipe doesn't say.

[Saule]

4 cups chicken broth

Thanks for catching, this is what I get for doing this late at night. I don't see how to edit the recipe, alas.

I hope you like it - you can also add some veggies to it to make a risotto primavera, or some mushroom (sauteed separately). I love risotto and make it a lot more often when I can do it in the microwave.
