Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

7 cups homemade chicken stock (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large shallot, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 bay leaves
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups arborio rice (see Cook's Note)
1 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Warm the chicken stock in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, cover and keep warm while you make the risotto.
  • Heat the olive oil in another medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the shallot, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 10 grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the bay leaves and 3 tablespoons butter, stirring until the butter has melted, about 1 minute.
  • Add the rice and toast, stirring only once, until it smells nutty and starts to turn light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Pour in the wine and simmer, stirring occasionally, until it has evaporated completely, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Ladle one cup of the warm stock into the rice and cook, stirring gently without stopping, until the rice has absorbed the liquid, 2 to 3 minutes (you will know it's time to add more stock when you move the rice aside and no liquid pools in the center).
  • Repeat this process, adding more stock a ladleful at a time, until the rice is al dente, 17 to 19 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. (You may have a little stock left over. If so, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.) If you prefer your risotto on the saucier side, add more stock 1/4 cup at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
  • Stir in the Parmesan, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon salt and a few more grinds of black pepper and serve with more Parmesan, if desired.

INSTANT POT® RISOTTO



Instant Pot® Risotto image

Risotto in the Instant Pot® has been a life-changer for me! Risotto used to be something that I'd make on special occasions, due to the time it took to make. No more standing at the stove, stirring and adding broth one ladle at a time for 40 minutes! Use that extra time to make something delicious to accompany this simple risotto. Our favorite is pan-seared scallops with a lemon-garlic sauce.

Time 30m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cube chicken bouillon (such as Knorr®)
2 cups hot water
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup finely diced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup Arborio rice
¼ cup white wine
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Dissolve the chicken bouillon cube in the hot water and set aside.

Tips:

  • Use a slow cooker with a capacity of at least 15 quarts to ensure that the risotto has enough room to cook properly.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any starch that could make the risotto gummy.
  • Sauté the rice in butter or olive oil before adding the liquid to help it absorb the flavors and give it a nutty texture.
  • Use a good quality broth or stock to add flavor to the risotto. You can use chicken, beef, or vegetable broth, depending on your preference.
  • Add the liquid to the rice in small increments, stirring constantly. This will help the rice to cook evenly and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Stir the risotto frequently throughout the cooking process. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the slow cooker and burning.
  • Once the risotto is cooked, stir in some grated Parmesan cheese and butter to give it a rich and creamy texture.
  • Serve the risotto immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or grated Parmesan cheese.
