Lazy man's Risotto (Italians look away plz!)

Risotto is kinda hard to make. You have to do a lot of work and it takes a long time but it's so delicious and cheap! So what does a lazy person do?

• Some rice (Jasmine rice is best but any kind will work probably)
• Some kind of meat and/or vegetables (Minced meat, pork, chicken, onions, mushrooms, whatever)
• One cube of bouillon/stock (any kind works but I prefer vegetable version)
• Water
• Optional: Extra seasoning (whatever you want, pepper/oregano/etc works nicely)

Boil the rice. About half way through you put your meat/vegetables in a cooking pan. Once the meat/vegetables are done, add about 250cl water and add your bouillon cube. Once the rice is done you add that to the cooking pan. Now you let it all boil quite heavyin the pan, until almost all the water has been reduced. Stir/turn once in a while.

When it looks/taste kinda like a risotto, it's done.

Bonus: This dish is absurdly cheap! Rice and bouillon cubes are almost free. The meat/vegetables can be very inexpensive as well.
