SFC (Squeak Fried Chicken)

At the moment I'd kill for a crunchy stir fry (takes just minutes) but until the jaw heals, it's soup and risotto! Here's an easy risotto, baked in the oven:

Soften a finely chopped onion in a little butter and olive oil. (If you have a dish that can be used on the stove top and in the oven, use that.) Add garlic - the stuff in the jar is fine - and about 200g of arborio rice. Stir to combine for a minute then add 400ml of chicken stock (made using powder is fine) and about a half a cup of white wine and bring to a simmer. Add some grated parmesan cheese and then add whatever flavourings you like before covering the dish and placing it in a 200C oven for 30 minutes. Here are my favourites:

A tin of crushed tomatoes and smoked fish (a tin is fine), then cooked peas at the end.
Finely grated lemon rind, some lemon juice and smoked salmon.
A tin of crushed tomatoes and some cooked brown mushrooms.
A tin of crushed tomatoes and sliced spicy sausage.
