My favorite is the raisin’s risotto. Here is how you can make it.

Ingredients for the risotto:
3 teacups basmati rice
200 gr dried yellow raisins
6 teacups water (2 teacups of water per 1 teacup of rice)
1 teaspoon salt
Olive oil

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes boiling / 20 minutes leave aside

You boil the water. You put a little olive oil into a cooking pot and saute the rise (I always wash the rice with water before cooking) together with the raisins.

RISOTTO 1

Add the boiling water, the salt, stir well and reduce the heat. Put the lid on and crack it open a little. Cook for about 5-8 minutes, until most of the water (not all) is absorbed.

RISOTTO 2

Then remove the pot from heat, remove the lid, cover the pot with a towel and then place the lid above it. Leave it aside for about 20 minutes.

RISOTTO 3

The rice will absorb all water and will be ready for serving. CHICKEN TOMATO SAUCE 8
