Risotto With Black Beans Olives Recipes

RISOTTO WITH BLACK BEANS & OLIVES

Steps:

• In pressure cooker, heat the oil.
• Sauté the onions and garlic until soft but not brown, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in the rice, coating thoroughly with the oil.
• Stir in 3 1/2 cups of the stock, the oregano and salt.
• Lock the lid in place and, over high heat, bring to high pressure.
• Lower the heat just enough to maintain high pressure; cook 5 minutes.
• Reduce pressure with a quick-release method.
• Remove lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape.
• The risotto will continue to absorb liquid at this point and should end up being slightly soupy.
• If necessary, stir in a bit more stock with the olives, black beans, coriander and pepper.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until rice is tender but chewy.
• Serve immediately in shallow soup bowls.

Steps:

• Add 1/2 the olive oil to a saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic, jalapenos and onions and saute for about 3 to 4 minutes, do not brown. Add the chili powder, cumin, oregano, bay leaf, beans and tomatoes and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until all ingredients are warm, then set aside.
• Add the other 1/2 of the olive oil to a sauce pot and saute the rice until warm, about 30 to 60 seconds.

Pour the heated chicken stock over the rice and then place the sauteed ingredients on top of the rice. Close the lid and press the risotto button to start. When the rice is finished it will automatically switch to warm mode. Press the RESET button. Add the salt, pepper, butter and cheese, mix all and serve immediately.
