Spicy risotto

Jessica, my former boss and now friend, was here for dinner last night. OK, as always also a lot of wine and girl talk...

Like all our girls night we made risotto. I bought a cookbook with only risotto recipes a couple of months ago, and I've slowly been working my way through it. Last night we tried spicy risotto with chicken and broccoli. Delicious!

We started out with cutting the chicken breast in to small cubes, frying it until golden and then adding the finely chopped charlotte and red chilli. Then it was time to add the lovely Arborio rice, some white wine and stir. Boil, stir and add some bullion. Boil stir and add some more bullion for 20 minutes until the rice is almost cooked and the whole dish is just very creamy. Then add the broccoli bouquets. Mix carefully together. Add loads of grated Parmesan cheese, mix and ENJOY! Risotto is clearly on of the best dishes around.

As usual we also managed to drink two bottles of wine. Having the time to really browse the wine stores nowadays I found a Bourgogne Chardonnay from Laroche that’s just lovely. Maybe a little bit pricey, but so well worth the money.
