So this is the new creation I decided to try and it was absolutely amazing. First you'll need to make the Chicken & Sausage Gumbo, then store any leftovers in a 64 oz containers, making sure about 40 oz are liquid and the rest the meat and veggies.
Gumbo Risotto
64 oz Leftover Chicken & Sausage Gumbo
1 cup White Arborio Rice
1 tbsp Vegetable oil
First, strain the liquid out of the leftovers into a medium sauce pan. Put the meat back in the fridge for now, you'll be working just with the liquid and rice. Heat the liquid to just under a boil. In the meantime, coat the bottom of a second medium sauce pan with the oil. Add the rice and heat until rice is completely covered with oil. Then add 1 cup of the Gumbo liquid to the rice, stirring constantly until all of the liquid is absorbed by the rice. Continue adding the liquid 1 cup at a time until the liquid is all transferred to the rice pan. Put the Gumbo meat into the pan the liquid was just in and heat while still cooking the rice. Once the final liquid is absorbed, add the rice to the heated Gumbo meat and allow the rice to absorb any liquid that might remain in the meat pan.
It took me about 35 - 40 minutes for the rice to absorb the liquid and another 5 - 10 once I added the meat. This amount served 2 people, but that was all we had for dinner and it filled us perfectly. This was my first time making risotto and obviously my first Risotto recipe so please let me know what you think.
