Risotto With Parmigiano Reggiano

The Reformation was the inevitable and explosive consequence of the Word of God crashing like a massive tidal wave against the thin barricades of man-made tradition and hypocritical religion. As the common people of Europe gained access to the Scriptures in their own language, the Spirit of God used that timeless truth to convict their hearts and convert their souls. The result was utterly transformative, not only for the lives of individual sinners, but for the entire continent on which they resided.

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat butter or oil in a large wide saucepan. Add garlic and onions.
Cook until the onions and garlic are very tender. Add the rice. Stir
to coat grains of rice well with the onions. (This can be done ahead.)
Have chicken stock hot in a saucepan on the stove beside the rice. Add
chicken stock, a ladle full at a time, and cook over medium or medium
high heat, until each batch of stock evaporates or is absorbed,  before
you add the next ladle full of stock. Stir almost constantly.  This
should take about 15 minutes until the rice is just barely  tender.  If
rice is tender, but not all the stock is used don't worry.  Probably
the heat was a bit too low. Start eating! If all stock is  used but the
rice is not yet tender, just keep adding boiling water  until rice is
cooked. Probably the heat was a bit too high.  When rice is tender but
still a bit chewy, stir in cheese and butter  if you are using them.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Spoon  risotto into warmed
wide serving bowls or plates.  Place a "tree" of chives in the centre
of each. Sprinkle with cheese  curls. Serve immediately.  Converted by
