This is an awesome idea! I shall add some later (:
Okey dokey, this is for a Chicken Risotto. But you can always substitue any of the ingredients (including the chicken) with whatever you like or want. I often add kidney beans and peas. Also, the amounts of extras you add is up to you I think, I use this mainly as a rough guide. It always turns out good though and is simple, quick and tasty.
Ingredients:
1 chicken breast or 2-3 small chicken fillets
1/3 mug of rice (risotto or basmati)
1/4 red pepper
2 mushrooms, sliced
1 onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon mild curry paste
1/4 tin sweetcorn
1 mug water
Method:
1) Fry the onion until soft
2) Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces, add to the frying pan and fry for 2-3 minutes until the outside is no longer pink
3) Add the mushrooms and pepper
4) Add the rice (uncooked), curry paste and water. Simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring from time to time. Add more water if the mixture has dried up before the rice is cooked. There should be very little liquid left when the dish is finished
5) Add the sweetcorn, heat through and serve.
Hope that an okay recipe. I find it useful, because it's really versatile. Good luck (:
