I found a recipe similar to this one years ago on Allrecipes and haven't been able to find it again. Luckily, I remembered the basics of it. After some trial and error, I have it figured out! This basic recipe is a creamy comfort food that is very versatile, in that you can add any meat and veggies combos you want to make it your own.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 ½ cups Arborio rice

  • 4 ½ cups hot chicken stock

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (Optional)

Directions

  1. Place the rice and heated chicken stock into the rice cooker.

  2. Press Start and let cook until the cycle has completed and has shifted to Keep Warm setting. Let rice sit with cover remaining on the rice cooker until the rice is completely tender, about 10 minutes more.

  3. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the rice and stir.

Recipe Tips

Depending on your rice cooker, you may not need to leave the risotto to sit for the extra 10 minutes. The bottom may burn, so check it the first time you make it to see how your rice cooker handles it. (If you have a hybrid appliance like a KitchenAid rice and grain cooker, you may or may not need to adjust the recipe.)

If the risotto comes out too thick, add a little more warm broth to thin it out, stirring until incorporated.

If you have a small rice cooker, you may want to halve the measurements.

You can use beef stock for chicken stock if preferred.
