Dinner Salad and Grecian Risotto

April 4, 2011 by susanelester


Dinner Salad
In two bowls, add:
Spring Greens
2 Carrots, sliced
2 ribs Celery, sliced
1 small Avocado, diced
10 Cherry Tomatoes
Serve with Country French Vinaigrette
Grecian Risotto

Risotto forms a wonderful base for all kinds of meats, cheeses, and vegetables.  It’s easy to make on a busy day, and re-heats well.  Tonight, we made this Greek-inspired version.

In a large skillet, saute:
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 small Onion, finely diced
2 cloves Garlic, minced
When the onion starts to become transluscent, stir in:
1 cup Arborio Rice
Continue stirring until rice begins to brown.
Add 4 cups Chicken Broth in 1 cup increments stirring frequently until most of the liquid is absorbed before adding the next cup.
Then stir in:
1 cup white wine ( I used Pinot Grigio)
2 cups cooked Chicken, diced (see Baked Chicken recipe here)
1/4 cup chopped Kalamata Olives
1/3 cup chopped Sun-dried Tomatoes 
1 teaspoon dried Oregano
Pepper, to taste (you won’t need to add extra salt)
When most of the liquid is absorbed, stir in 6 ounces crumbled Feta Cheese.  Keep stirring until throughly combined. 

Let rest for 5 – 10 minutes before serving.

    Risotto is such a comfort food. Would love to try this recipe…looks wonderful! By the way, I have joined the Daring Bakers. Thanks to you and Megi for the encouragement. Sounds like a lot of fun!

    I love all the NY pics. Looks like you had a great time. The trout with lemon sauce sounds yummy.
