Quick Chicken Primavera Risotto - Help :)

[pamperedchristine]

I'm making this for dinner (the recipe is very involved, and taking me forever, i can't imagine doing this for a demo and having to talk, too!)

Anyhow, I just got the rice cooker, but it says that you need to use converted rice. I have 'real' rice... how can I make this work? Plus if you follow the recipe with the pre-cooked rice, it says to add 2 cups of broth with it, but if the rice is already cooked... do you still do that?

Help!

Thanks!

I love this recipe. I have made it several times at home and for parties. Yes, if you use the packaged pre-cooked rice you still add the broth. It is very creamy. I hope you end up liking it, it is very good!

When you do it at a show you are constantly moving (like Rachel Ray on 30-minute Meals), but the guests are overly impressed and you show alot of products.

Good luck!

Hey there! I totally understand your frustration with the involved recipe and the added pressure of having to talk during a demo. As for your question about using "real" rice instead of converted rice in your new rice cooker, I would suggest doing a quick Google search to see if anyone has successfully used real rice in that specific model of rice cooker. If not, you may have to follow the instructions and use converted rice for the best results. As for the broth, I would still recommend adding it even if the rice is already cooked. It will help add flavor and moisture to the dish. You can also adjust the amount of broth depending on the consistency you prefer for your rice. I hope this helps and good luck with your dinner! It sounds like it will be worth all the effort. Happy cooking!
