I just cooked this recipe for tonight's dinner:
Creamy Veggie Risotto
1 1/2 cup Arborio rice
1 cup of each zucchini, mushrooms, carrots, peas (cubed)
1 onion chopped
2 stalks celery chopped into cubes
1 chicken broth cube
2 cups water
1 cup skim milk
2 tbsp reduced calorie margarine
4 tbsp fat-free parmesan cheese
1 tsp dried minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
Mix milk and water in a bowl, set aside. Add margarine, Arborio, broth cube and 1 cup of water/milk mixture to a deep saucepan, stir well and bring to boil. Reduce heat and allow rice to absorb most of the water mixture. Add water 1/4 cup at a time making sure you stir rice frequently. Don't allow it to dry up. Takes about 30 mins to cook.
In another pan sauté the veggies and onion together until tender. Add to the rice mixture just before its nearly cooked. Add parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Let stand for 10 minutes and enjoy!
