Broccoli risotto


Ingredients:

Brown Rice - 1 cup
Broccoli - 1
Onion - 1
Garlic cloves - 6
Olive oil
Salt and pepper- to taste

How to make:

  1. Chop off the stems of broccoli
  2. Boil the stems till tender
  3. Add florets to another pan of boiling water
  4. Let the florets cook for 5 mins and remove them
  5. Save the water of boiled stems
  6. Grind well the boiled stems
  7. Add olive oil to a pan
  8. Add chopped onion and garlic
  9. Add the stem paste
  10. Pour in the stock from boiled stems
  11. Add salt and allow it to boil for few minutes
  12. Add the rice
  13. After rice is cooked, add the florets

Verdict:

Followed an online recipe. Used brown rice instead of arborio rice, typically used for risottos by Italians. I felt I should have used butter or ghee instead of olive oil.
