rice recipe
 

does anyone have a great rice recipe involving cheese and brocolli? i want something simple but elegant. something with wine in the recipe. what would be a good wine to drink with it, too? white?

I make a dish for a potatoe topping
with
rice
brocolli
milk....or water(from cooking brocolli)
mozzerella
parmesan (lots of parmesan)
ground beef
garlic
oregano
basil
salt/pepper

I'll steam the brocolli seperately
In a skillet brown:
ground beef,garlic,oregano,basil,salt, and pepper
pour of excess grease
med/low heat
add remaining ingreadents

I add ingredents by taste/how much I have on hand

A nice side for chicken breasts
steamed brocolli
shake on a breading of parmesan and bread crumbs
bake at 350 till slightly golden brown

as for the wine........
I don't drink......i'll take some coffee

Make risotto and add tiny bits of cooked broccoli to it at the end Serve with white wine:

heat 3-4 C veg or chicken broth, if you have some saffron add it to the hot, but not boiling water

saute a clove of garlic with some shallots or onion in olive oil
add a cup of aborio rice, cook for couple min
add 1/4 - 1/2 cup white wine and stir till most of it is absorbed
add 1 ladle of broth at a time stirring intermittently (right after you add and every min or so after) till most of the liquid is absorbed, repeat till you have the right firmness of the rice
add 1/2 stick butter (chop it small so that it melts quick), 1/4 - 1/2 C parm cheese (your preference, start with 1/4C and see how you like it), and 1/4 parsley or basil (if you have it, not necessary), salt, pepper, and some steamed broccoli
