BASIC MICROWAVE RISOTTO



Basic Microwave Risotto image

Microwave Risotto is great because of its forgiving nature; if you forget it for a half hour, nothing is lost. Also, it is a wonderful clean-out-the-fridge, use-your-imagination, I-just-bounced-five-checks recipe. It reheats well too. You can use margarine or olive oil in place of the butter, and you can use apple juice or white grape juice in place of the wine.

3 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
