CREAMY, CHEESY RISOTTO



Creamy, Cheesy Risotto image

Note: The ingredients have been corrected to reflect many of the reviewers comments that pecans were listed in the ingredients but pine nuts were mentioned in the instructions..either works great. A creamy cheesy risotto. The nuts add a nice crunch. It's easy to make, and pairs well with an oven baked dish, as it does need some attention while cooking. Contrary to what some say, risotto does not need CONSTANT stirring, but it does need stirred frequently. You don't want to let it go for more than a minute or so without a stir. Using low sodium chicken broth is important, as the cheese can be salty. This was a contest entry for RSC #11.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon butter
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup shallot, chopped small
2/3 cup arborio rice (or other small or medium grain rice)
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth, plus more
chicken broth, if needed (I use light and fat free)
1/4 cup grated smoked gouda cheese
1/4 cup grated asiago cheese
1/4 cup pecans, chopped or 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
1 dash ground cayenne pepper
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Warm chicken broth either on stove or in microwave.
  • In a 2 quart saucepan or large skillet (non stick works well) heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add shallots and saute for 1-2 minutes until softened.
  • Raise heat to medium high, add rice and salt, stirring constantly for 2 minutes, until rice just begins to turn slightly golden in color.
  • Add wine and stir until almost completely evaporated.
  • Begin adding chicken broth, about 1/2 cup at a time.
  • After each 1/2 cup addition of broth, stir frequently, until broth is almost evaporated and add the next 1/2 cup.
  • Do the same for each addition of broth, stirring frequently.
  • Begin tasting the rice for doneness during the last two additions of broth for tenderness--it should be al dente-tender with a slight bite to it.
  • If rice is not done after the last addition, continue cooking as above adding additional 1/2 cups of broth until done. The entire process should take about 20 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in cheese, cayenne and pecans or pine nuts. You can also add the additional teaspoon of butter if you want it extra rich at this point.
  • Adjust the salt if needed, remembering that there is a lot of salt in cheese and possibly in the type of broth you use.
  • Serve hot.

CREAMY ASPARAGUS RISOTTO



Creamy Asparagus Risotto image

This recipe has evolved from one that I saw on Hell's Kitchen. I searched high and low for the closest thing and eventually came up with this. Enjoy!

Provided by Chef RoboTron

Categories     Rice

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 lbs asparagus, trimmed tips cut off and reserved
1 teaspoon salt
8 cups chicken stock or 8 cups low sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 medium shallots, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 1/2 cups arborio rice (1 pound)
3/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (3 ounces)
fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the asparagus tips in a medium saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tips to a colander.
  • and rinse in cold water; drain well.
  • 2. Break the asparagus stalks in half. Add them to the boiling water and cook until very tender, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1/3 cup of the cooking water, then drain the stalks. Puree the stalks with the reserved cooking water in a food processor. Using a rubber spatula, work the puree through a coarse sieve; you should have about 2 cups.
  • 3. In a medium saucepan, bring the stock to a simmer. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large, heavy saucepan. Add the shallots and cook over low heat, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until softened but not browned, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until the shallots are lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the rice and stir over moderate heat to coat the grains with the oil. Pour in the wine and continue stirring until the wine is almost evaporated, about 2 minutes.
  • 4. Add 1 cup of the hot stock and stir constantly until almost absorbed. Continue adding the stock, 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly until it is absorbed before adding more. When the rice is almost tender, after about 15 minutes, add the asparagus puree. Continue to cook, stirring, until the rice is tender but still firm to the bite, about 4 minutes. Add the asparagus tips and stir for 1 minute to heat through.
  • 5. Remove the risotto from the heat and stir in the butter and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper and let stand for 2 minutes, then spoon the risotto into shallow bowls and serve.
  • Serves 8.
  • This risotto gets its velvety texture from the asparagus puree that's stirred in before serving.

FROZEN ASPARAGUS RISOTTO WITH BACON



Frozen Asparagus Risotto With Bacon image

Spring brings us all this gorgeous but pricey fresh asparagus. I don't mind the expense for the pleasure of steamed spears. But I've found that in making risotto, using a frozen product often gives as much flavor, and is easier and cheaper. Step 6 is where I veer away from traditional risotto making - something I figured out when my kids were little and I wanted to be with them rather than stand at the stove, stirring. This early prep saves you at least 10 minutes of on-your-way-to-varicose-veins time.

Provided by Elisabetta47

Categories     Short Grain Rice

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

15 asparagus spears, frozen and defrosted
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup onion, minced
1/4 lb bacon, chopped into small pieces
1 cup white wine
2 cups arborio rice (or carnaroli)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 quarts chicken broth, hot (your's or canned that's thinned with water)
1/2 cup parmigiano, grated

Steps:

  • Take a deep breath and say "Risotta-making is NOT difficult.".
  • Cut asparagus into 3/4" pieces. Set aside.
  • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, saute the onion and bacon in 2 T butter for 3 minutes over medium heat.
  • Increase to high heat, add wine and reduce to half (about 3 minutes).
  • Add rice, salt and pepper and continue stirring on high for 1 minute.
  • Add 2 c of the hot chicken stock, lid the pan and turn off the heat.
  • Go walk your dog, call your girlfriend, write that chapter in your novel. It can sit there until roughly 10-15 minutes before dinner is served.
  • When you return, reheat the broth and crank up the heat on the rice.
  • Stir, stir, stir, adding a cup of hot broth everytime it starts to look a bit dry.
  • Sample a bit: does it seem a bit chewy but almost ready?.
  • If so, add the asparagus and stir until heated through, about 2 minutes.
  • Sample again. Ready? Remove from heat and add 1 T butter and cheese.
