New Year Cooking - Jan 2 2017

Onions - Slicing/Dicing

1 - Leave root side on for balance & control; cut the top (opposite to root) off.
2 - Peel the "paper" off.  A bit tricky but it will come.
3 - Slice in half from "top" to root.
4 - Lay halves flat and proceed to slice/dice.  Keep finger tips pointing down to prevent
     unwanted injury.

Cook in melted butter for about 3 min; onions should be browned up.
Add main ingredients at this point.

Risotto (ReeZotToe)

It's a 3 step process from here:

1 - Add the rice and cook until well coated with butter/onions; about 1 Min.
2 - Add 1 cup dry white wine and cook till wine is reduced; about 1 min.
3 - Add enuf broth till rice is covered and cook over med heat till broth absorbed completely.
4 - Continue process, adding broth and absorbing until 6 cups are used, about 20 min.
5 - Add "main" ingredients at the end of the absorption process, e.g., shrooms, tomatoes, chicken, etc

6 cups chicken broth
4 TB unsalted butter
1 onion finely minced
2 cups Arborio rice
1 cup dry white wine
2 TB chopped parsley

4 - 6 Servings

Used 2BuckChuck; it was delicious.  The wine flavor stands out; upgrading the wine will make a
sensational dish!
