"Let onion atoms lurk within the bowl, And, scarce-suspected, animate the whole."
-Sydney Smith, 18th century essayist

The refrigerator light goes on...

A great one pan meal that has it all: rich, savory, umami flavors with sweet and spicy paprika. The best part is that with the onions, beans, and mushrooms there's a lot of added fiber and this makes a HUGE serving - almost too much to eat.

Smoked Paprika Risotto - a one pot recipe from Dr. Gourmet
Place the olive oil in the bottom of a large skillet.

Heat over medium and add the onion.

Cook gently, stirring frequently, until the onions begin to turn translucent.

Increase the heat to high and add the mushrooms, then cook for about 10 minutes until they begin to caramelize.

Add the chicken and cook for about 3 minutes. Stir frequently, and when the chicken is lightly browned, add the arborio rice and stir.

Reduce the heat to medium high and cook for about 2 minutes, then add the salt, water, and smoked paprika.

Simmer on medium and check frequently to see how close the rice is to being done. And add more water if needed. The rice is done when it is still slightly firm but there is no grainy texture when chewed.

Add the beans, goat cheese, and parmesan. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring gently, until the cheese is melted.

Serve.
