A delicious way to use arugula outside of salads or pastas. This risotto recipe uses only one pot and is especially great in early spring or late fall when arugula is abundant.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 cups loosely packed arugula, or more to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups Arborio rice
½ cup finely chopped yellow onion
½ cup white wine
6 cups vegetable broth
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Finely chop arugula and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Saute rice in the hot oil until it begins to look toasted, about 1 minute. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in wine and stir frequently until most of the liquid is absorbed, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Stir in vegetable broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring almost constantly. Add arugula with the 5th cup of vegetable broth; pour in remaining broth, stirring almost constantly, until rice is tender yet firm to the bite, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese and butter. Add salt and pepper to taste.

I'm not a big fan of risotto, but I decided to give this recipe a try. I'm glad I did because it was really good! The arugula flavor was not overpowering and the risotto was very creamy.

This was a great recipe! I used brown rice instead of white rice and it turned out really well. The arugula and lemon zest gave it a nice flavor.

I made this risotto last night and it was a hit! My family loved it and even my picky eater son ate two helpings. The arugula added a nice peppery flavor and the lemon zest brightened it up. I will definitely be making this again.
