Chorizo Artichoke Risotto Recipes

ARTICHOKE RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the artichoke hearts and reduce the heat to medium high. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, or until the hearts are beginning to brown. Remove to a plate and set aside.
• To the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the butter and the shallots and cook for 1 minute, stirring regularly. Add the rice and salt and stir with a wooden spoon to coat all the kernels with oil. Continue to cook for 3 minutes, or until the rice is sizzling. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until it is almost completely absorbed. Now begin adding the chicken broth, one cup at a time, stirring frequently between additions. After the first cup is almost entirely absorbed, add the next cup. Continue in this way until the rice is cooked through and you have a creamy risotto, about 20 minutes in all. (The risotto should be slightly loose, not dry; it should run off your spoon. If it gets too dry, add a bit more broth.) Stir in the peas, feta, chives, mint and black pepper. Gently stir in the artichoke hearts and the lemon juice. Serve.

ARTICHOKE RISOTTO

Steps:

• Using a large saucepan over medium heat, heat oil and margarine. Saute 1/2 of the onion until tender. Add rice and cook until lightly browned, stirring to prevent rice from burning.
• When rice is browned, pour in soy milk and apple juice. When the liquid is absorbed gradually pour in vegetable stock, about 1/2 cup at a time until this is absorbed, reserving about 1/4 cup of stock. Cover saucepan and cook for approximately 20 minutes or until rice is tender.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the marinated artichoke heart liquid that was reserved and lightly brown the remaining onion and tofu. Stir in garlic.
• Remove rice from heat, add the set aside 1/4 cup of vegetable stock, tofu mixture, artichoke hearts, corn, and cayenne pepper. Mix together well and heat thru. Serve immediately.
