Apple Pumpkin Risotto With Caramelized Onions Vegan Recipes

CARAMELIZED ONION ORZO

Steps:

• Add the butter and olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high, until the butter is melted. Swirl the pan to mix the two.
• Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, until browned at the edges. Reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, heat a saucepan of water and cook the orzo to al dente. Drain.
• When the onions are soft, translucent and golden brown, sprinkle with salt. Then add the orzo, white wine and parmesan, stirring well to combine. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Serve with a sprinkling of chopped parsley.

APPLE-PUMPKIN RISOTTO WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS (VEGAN)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, then prepare the pumpkin. Hack it in half and remove the seeds and stringy bits with a spoon (Tip; clean the seeds, drizzle them with olive oil, and bake at 350 degrees fro 15 minutes for a delectable snack.) Place pumpkin face down on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake for about 35 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork. Remove, let cool, then peel or slice off the skin and chop into bite-size pieces.
• While the pumpkin is baking, prepare the caramelized onions. Preheat a heavy-bottomed skillet over low heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the 2 sliced onions, and toss to coat. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, leaving a little gap for steam to escape. Stir occasionally. Onions should turn a mellow amber color. Remove cover and turn heat up to medium. Stir often for 10 more minutes or until nice and dark.
• Start the risotto right after beginning the onions. Have broth warming on the stove before you begin. Preheat a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Saute the onion, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes in the oil for about 7 minutes, stirring often. Add the rice, and stir to coat. Add wine, apples, and 1 cup broth. Stir until most of the broth is absorbed. Repeat this step, adding 1 cup of broth at a time, stirring occasionally, until you have 1 cup left. It should take about 45 minutes. Add the pumpkin (it should be ready by this point) and the last cup of broth and stir. When most of the liquid has been absorbed, add the nutmeg and cinnamon. Also add salt and pepper, to taste, if desired. Cook for 10 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Let sit for 10 minutes, then serve in bowls and top with caramelized onions.
