How to cook deliciously - Jalapeno Popper Risotto

1. Stage

Heat vegetable broth in a pot over medium-high heat until boiling; reduce heat to a simmer.

2. Stage

Heat a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add rice and begin to toast, flipping it to ensure it toasts evenly. Continue until rice becomes golden and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Do not burn.

3. Stage

Remove rice from the pot. Add jalapeno and vegetable oil. Saute over medium heat until softened, about 8 minutes. Add toasted rice and stir to absorb the jalapeno flavor.

4. Stage

Stir 1/2 cup heated broth into the rice mixture until broth is absorbed. Continue adding broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring continuously, until liquid is absorbed and rice has doubled in size. Add Greek yogurt. Mix well until melted and incorporated, adding more broth as necessary until rice is al dente.

5. Stage

Turn off heat and add pepper Jack cheese, saving 1 to 2 teaspoons as garnish. Wait until starches settle, about 2 minutes. Distribute evenly between 4 plates. Top with reserved pepper Jack cheese. Serve hot.
