Microwave Risotto

1. 1

   In a microwave safe bowl, combine the chopped onion and shortening. Microwave on high for 4 minutes, stirring once after 2 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the rice and stir to coat the grains with the oil. Microwave on high for 4 more minutes.

3. 3

   Add the chicken broth and return bowl to microwave. Cook the rice on high for 18 minutes, stirring once half way through. Stir again before the last 2 minutes and check to see that the liquid is almost all absorbed.

4. 4

   Take the bowl from the microwave and let the rice absorb the last of the liquid, stirring 2 or 3 times.

5. 5

   Add the cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Before serving, you may add whatever mined herbs you like, swirl in a pat or butter, or some milk or cream if you like a creamier risotto.
