Even though I eat vegan, I've been on a risotto kick for the family. This evening, I made Buffalo Chicken Risotto for dinner. Isaiah and Tim LOVED it. Esther-Faith wouldn't touch it. Isaac didn't eat it because he is off rice due to the four teeth he had pulled this morning.
Brodo:
Simmer one quart vegetable broth, 3/4 cup hot sauce, about 1/4 cup honey, and about 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce.
Risotto:
Sweat 2 stalks celery, chopped fine; 1 medium onion, chopped fine; 3 garlic cloves, minced fine in a couple of tablespoons of butter for a few minutes.
Add one cup arborio rice and cook until fragrant and rice is coated with butter.
Deglaze with 3/4 cup lager beer and cook until completely absorbed.
Add the brodo 1/2 to 3/4 cup at a time allowing each addition to completely absorb before adding more. (Took me about 45 minutes to incorporate it all.)
Stir in about 2 cups of roasted chicken. (We had some left over from the rotisserie chicken we made last night.)
Garnish with chopped celery, blue cheese dressing, and blue cheese crumbles.


My hubby would keep eating this too! Looks great.
