Recipe - Iotian Risotto (Rice And Cheese)

Jo Ferry cmsj69b
4 tablespoon Butter
2 One half cup Onions; chop
2 One half cup Raw longgrain rice
1 cup Dry white wine
5 cup Chicken broth
1 One half teaspoon Salt
One half pound Swiss cheese; grate
2 tablespoon Butter
7 ounce Can mushrooms
2 tablespoon Parsley; chop

Note: Captain Kirk's first visit to the Iotians came at a particularly
turbulent time in their gang wars, so he saw nothing of their family life.
When he returned a year later with Isak Wharton, a Federation economist, to
supervise the reinvestment of the Federation's "cut", the situation was
already much improved, and life was more relaxed. When Angela Oxmyx had the
Captain, Wharton, and the Krackos over for dinner, this is one the things
she served. Melt the butter in a 4quart pot and fry the onions in it until
golden. Add the rice, stirring until it is wellcoated with butter. Add the
white wine and broth (which can be part chicken broth and part water) and
salt. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer until the rice is tender. The
liquid will be absorbed, but the rice will not be dry and fluffy. Cooking
time from when the rice starts to boil until it is tender should be about
20 minutes. Add the Swiss cheese, stirring to mix it in well and to melt
it. Take the pot off the heat and set aside, covered. Melt the butter in
the saucepan and add the drained mushrooms. Cook them a few minutes until
they are thoroughly hot. Do not brown them. Put the cooked rice in a large
bowl, sprinkle with the parsley and then pour the mushrooms over all. Serve
immediately.
