SLOW-COOKER ASPARAGUS-BARLEY RISOTTO



Slow-Cooker Asparagus-Barley Risotto image

Lighten your cooking load and liven up your Easter spread with our easy slow-cooker risotto. This creamy rice dish is usually made with Arborio rice, but we love it with the toothsome nuttiness (and fiber) of barley. Have your guests add a squeeze of lemon for an extra pop of brightness.

Time 4h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups pearled barley
2 sprigs fresh thyme
3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 pound (1 bunch) asparagus, rough stalks trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
2/3 cup grated Parmesan
Zest of 1 lemon, plus lemon wedges, for serving
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the barley and thyme, and cook, stirring, until the barley is just golden, about 2 minutes more.
  • Transfer the barley mixture to a 6-quart slow cooker, and add the broth, 1 1/2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover, and cook on high until the liquid is absorbed and the barley is tender, about 3 hours.
  • Discard the thyme, and stir in the asparagus. Return the lid to the pot, and cook until the asparagus is tender, 30 minutes more. Stir in the Parmesan, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Thin out the risotto to the desired consistency with warm water, as needed. Fold in the parsley and mint, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains     Rice Recipes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 cups vegetable stock, preferably homemade
1/4 cup olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup Arborio or Carnaroli rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed, stalks cut into 2-inch lengths
1 cup thawed frozen peas
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Add 1/2 cup hot stock; cook, stirring, until almost absorbed. Continue adding 1/2 cup stock in this manner until liquid is creamy and rice is al dente, about 20 minutes total (you may not need to add all the stock).

BARLEY RISOTTO WITH ASPARAGUS AND HAZELNUTS



Barley Risotto with Asparagus and Hazelnuts image

Categories     Citrus     Garlic     Nut     Onion     Vegetable     Vegetarian     Spring     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds medium asparagus, trimmed
5 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/4 cups pearl barley
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 garlic clove
1 1/4 teaspoons finely grated fresh lemon zest
1 ounce finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (about 1/2 cup) plus additional for serving
1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Cut top third of each asparagus stalk diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices, reserving tips and slices together, then coarsely chop remainder. Bring water (5 1/2 cups) and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a 3- to 4-quart saucepan, then add chopped asparagus and cook, uncovered, until very tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a food processor (not a blender, which would require adding liquid).
  • Add reserved asparagus tips and slices to boiling water and cook, uncovered, until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer with slotted spoon to a sieve, reserving cooking liquid in pan, and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Drain well and reserve in another bowl.
  • Measure cooking liquid and, if necessary, add enough water to bring total to 4 cups, then reserve.
  • Cook onion with pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt in oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add barley and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
  • Add wine and boil, stirring, until liquid is absorbed, about 1 minute.
  • Add 4 cups reserved asparagus-cooking liquid and bring to a boil, covered, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until barley is tender (it should be chewy) and mixture is thickened to a stewlike consistency, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mince garlic and mash to a paste with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt using side of a large heavy knife, then add to asparagus in food processor along with zest and purée until smooth.
  • When barley is cooked, stir in asparagus purée, asparagus-tip mixture, and enough additional water to thin to desired consistency and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until hot, about 1 minute. Stir in cheese, then season with salt and pepper. Serve with hazelnuts and additional cheese on the side.

LEMON RISOTTO WITH ASPARAGUS AND PEAS



Lemon Risotto with Asparagus and Peas image

If you would prefer a simple lemon risotto, omit the asparagus and peas.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
6 thin asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 1-inch lengths
1 cup thawed frozen peas
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for serving
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring stock to a boil in a medium saucepan; turn off heat.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat in another medium saucepan. Add onion; cook, stirring constantly, until translucent, 6 to 7 minutes. Add rice; cook, stirring constantly, until edges of grains are translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Raise heat to medium-high. Add wine; cook, stirring constantly, until wine has completely evaporated.
  • Add 1/2 cup stock; cook, stirring constantly, until stock has been completely absorbed and a wooden spoon drawn through rice leaves a trail in its wake. Continue adding about 4 more cups stock, 1/2 cup at a time, waiting for each addition to be absorbed before adding the next. (It should take about 13 minutes.)
  • Stir in the asparagus. Add 1/2 to 1 cup more stock, in same manner as described above. About 1 minute before risotto is done, stir in the peas. Risotto is done when liquid looks creamy and grains are cooked but still slightly firm in centers. (The total cooking time will be 16 to 20 minutes.)
  • Remove from heat; stir in 1/2 cup stock. (You may have stock left over.) Stir in zest, juice, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, parsley, and cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with more cheese.
