Method:
Start by blending the cottage cheese until smooth and set it aside. But if you don’t mind small lumps in it, you don’t have to blend it. Then prepare the rice as directed and set it aside. Next, clean the shallots and garlic and chop finely. Next, cut the chicken breasts into small pieces, season with salt and black pepper, and clean and slice the mushrooms. Spray a frying pan with oil spray and fry the shallots until golden. Add the garlic and mushrooms and sauté until soft (about 5 minutes). Next, add the chicken to the mixture and sauté for approximately 10 minutes until tender.
To the meat and mushrooms then add the cooked rice, stir and simmer together for a while. Add the blended cottage cheese and grated eidam to the mixture. Stir well and allow to cook for a few more minutes until the risotto has a nice creamy consistency. Then just season with salt and pepper as needed and serve. When serving, you can garnish with any cheese you like.
