Green risotto


Risotto is a traditional dish of Spain that combines rice with cheese, butter and cream. In this case we will make a healthier version, with some replacements and addings that allow us to maintain -or even increase- the flavor and reduce calories.

I'm also adding vegetables to this Green risotto to reduce the amounts of fat and add fiber, balancing the dish and increasing its variety.





The ingredients for 4 servings are:

- 300 g risotto rice
- 500 g green vegetables (pepper, leek, carriot)
- 1 onion
- 1 cup dry white wine
- Parmesan cheese to taste
- 4 cups chicken broth
- Olive oil to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

1. Clean the vegetables and cut with the onion into small cubes. Brown in a saucepan with olive oil. When browned, add the rice and let roast for a minute.

2. Add the wine and evaporate. Add a cup of hot chicken broth, boil in low heat and keep adding broth slowly, stirring occasionally. After 20 minutes, add salt and pepper to taste.

3. When the rice is ready, add the parmesan cheese, a little butter and serve hot.
