Strawberry Risotto Recipes

STRAWBERRY RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat stock and keep warm.
• Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pot and saute onion until it softens.
• Add strawberries and cook until they lose their color and soften, stirring often.
• Stir in the Marsala and cook until it is almost absorbed.
• Stir in the rice and cook about 30 seconds.
• Begin adding the stock, about one cup at a time, and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until liquid is almost absorbed. Repeat until rice is tender and creamy but still a little firm in the center.
• Stir in the cheese and serve. Start the meal with a plate of freshly steamed asparagus topped with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

STRAWBERRY RISOTTO

Steps:

• Melt butter in a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add half of the strawberries and continue cooking until the strawberries loose some of their juices and color. Add rice and shallots; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add wine; cook 1 minute or until liquid is absorbed, stirring frequently. Stir in ½ cup of the broth and cook until the liquid is nearly absorbed. Add remaining broth mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly, and cook until each portion of broth mixture is absorbed before adding the next (about 20 minutes). Stir in Parmesan cheese, lemon rind, salt, pepper, nutmeg, basil, and remaining strawberries. Cover and let rest a few minutes before serving, so that all the flavors can be absorbed together. Transfer to serving dish and decorate with strawberries and fresh basil, if desired.

CHICKEN AND STRAWBERRY RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in rice; cook and stir until rice becomes soft and slightly transparent, about 5 minutes.
• Stir 1 cup of chicken stock and white wine into the rice mixture. Cook and stir, adding more chicken stock as it is absorbed, until rice is fluffy and soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Mix strawberries and chicken breast into the rice mixture. Stir in Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until well mixed. Transfer to a serving dish.

STRAWBERRY RISOTTO RECIPE

Steps:

• Wash the strawberries then dry them well. Remove the green tuft and cut them into small pieces. Keep a few whole strawberries for the final decoration.
• Chop the onion and sauté over medium heat in a pan with 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Add the rice and cook for 2/3 minutes, always stirring, untill the grains are slightly glassy.
• add the white wine, stir and let it evaporate, over high heat. We recommend a Prosecco wine. Then add the hot vegetable stock. At first, there will be a sizzle: part of the stock, in contact with the hot pan, evaporates. Then immediately add another ladle of stock. During cooking, the rice must always be covered with stock; in this way it releases the starches and the grain does not break.
• Halfway through cooking, after about 8 minutes, add half of chopped strawberries, stirring constantly. Strawberries become creamy and give the risotto its characteristic color.
• When the rice is cooked, after another 8/10 minutes, turn off the heat. Add grated Parmigiano cheese and butter. Stir to combine and finish with the remaining strawberries. Strawberry risotto is ready! You can add two or three drops of balsamic vinegar, a few mint leaves and decorate with strawberries.
