Rice Risotto with Celery and Egg

Ok, this one is on request from a friend who saw Nia eating this for lunch last Saturday. I love making risottos, they are so easy to make and so yummy. Even hubz devoured this! (sorry no pic)

Ingredients:
1/4 cup long grain rice, soaked in water for 10-15 minutes and drain
1 clove garlic, smashed
half a stalk of celery sliced thin
1 tbsp tomato puree
1 egg beaten lightly
1 cup of unsalted chicken stock
bit of butter

Method:
Bring rice, celery, garlic, butter & chicken stock to a boil, reduce fire and let the rice cook. Do add boiled water or stock if the liquid dry up too fast. When rice is almost done to the consistency your child prefers, add tomato puree and stir in the egg. Ensure the egg's cooked through before removing from fire. Cool it a little and it's ready to go!

Note: Feeding babies uncooked egg exposes them to salmonella infection, so do remember that everytime you intend to feed your baby egg.
