Risotto a la garcon

That's a posh way of saying, my son cooked tea :)

I had 2 chicken carcasses taking up space in the freezer so they were plonked in the slow cooker this morning ,covered with hot water from the kettle and spent the day turning into stock.
There were enough little bits of chicken still stuck to them to make the meat content for our Risotto.

The boy decided to give it his expert attention , so he put a cup of raw white rice in a big mixing bowl.
Added 3 cups of the stock and put the whole thing in a carrier bag with the two handles tied in a bow.
This went in the microwave for 13 minutes and resulted in a fluffy cooked rice and no left over water or stodge.

Meantime, he chopped an onion, added a cup of carrot slices from the freezer and a good cup of frozen broccoli and cooked them up in the rest of the stock.

Then he pulled enough bits of chicken off the now cooled carcasses and when the rice was cooked, he added the meat and the veg to the rice and mixed it all in.

The remaining stock and any of the chicken meat that was remaining on the bones, was put in the empty bowl in which the rice had been cooked after we had dished out our meal. That will make soup for two for tomorrow lunch time.

Twas a lovely flavour and also luxurious for me who didn't need to cook for once.
