This classic risotto is flooded with fresh herbs at the very end of cooking. Serve it as a main dish or a side. Use a combination of sweet herbs and vivid-tasting salad greens, like wild arugula.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

7 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups finely chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, tarragon, chives, chervil, dill, basil, chives and arugula (4 cups leaves)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2/3 cup finely chopped onion or leek
Salt, preferably kosher salt, to taste
1 1/2 cups arborio or carnaroli rice
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc
Freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon finely chopped lemon zest
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Put your stock or broth into a saucepan, and bring it to a simmer on the stove, with a ladle nearby or in the pot. Make sure that it is well seasoned. Combine the herbs and one of the minced garlic cloves in a bowl, and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a wide, heavy skillet or saucepan. Add the onion or leek and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook gently until it is just tender, about three minutes. Do not brown.
  • Stir in the rice and the remaining three cloves of garlic, and stir just until the grains of rice become separate and begin to crackle. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until it is absorbed.
  • Begin adding the simmering stock, a couple of ladlefuls (about 1/2 cup) at a time. The stock should just cover the rice and should be bubbling, not too slowly but not too quickly. When the rice is just tender all the way through but still chewy, usually in 20 to 25 minutes, it is done. Taste now and correct seasoning.
  • Add another ladleful of stock to the rice. Stir in the herbs, pepper, lemon zest and juice, and Parmesan, and remove from the heat. The mixture should be creamy. If you put some on a plate and tilt the plate the mound of rice should flatten out. Serve right away.

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

7 cups fat-free chicken broth
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups fresh herbs, finely chopped, such as parsley, tarragon, chives, chervil, dill, basil, chives and arugula (4 cups leaves)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2/3 cup onion, finely chopped
kosher salt, to taste
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
fresh ground pepper
1 teaspoon lemon zest, finely chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

  • Put stock into a saucepan, and bring it to a simmer on the stove, with a ladle near the pot.
  • Combine the herbs and one of the minced garlic cloves in a bowl, and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a wide, heavy skillet or saucepan. Add the onion or leek and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook gently until it is just tender, about three minutes. Do not brown.
  • Stir in the rice and the remaining three cloves of garlic, and stir just until the grains of rice become separate and begin to crackle.
  • Add the wine and cook, stirring, until it is absorbed.
  • Begin adding the simmering stock, a couple of ladlefuls (about 1/2 cup) at a time. The stock should just cover the rice and should be bubbling, not too slowly but not too quickly.
  • When the rice is just tender all the way through but still chewy, usually in 20 to 25 minutes, it is done. Taste now and correct seasoning.
  • Add another ladleful of stock to the rice. Stir in the herbs, pepper, lemon zest and juice, and Parmesan, and remove from the heat. The mixture should be creamy. If you put some on a plate and tilt the plate the mound of rice should flatten out. Serve right away.
  • Advance preparation: You can begin up to several hours before serving. Proceed with the recipe, and cook halfway through step 4 - that is, for about 15 minutes. The rice should still be hard when you remove it from the heat, and there should not be any liquid in the pan. Spread it in an even layer in the pan, and keep it away from the heat until you resume cooking. If the pan is not wide enough for you to spread the rice in a thin layer, transfer it to a sheet pan. Fifteen minutes before serving, resume cooking as instructed.

Tips for Making Andrew's Herb Risotto:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your risotto will taste. Look for Arborio or Carnaroli rice, which are both short-grain rices that hold their shape well when cooked. Use fresh herbs and vegetables, and a good quality broth.
  • Toast the rice before adding the liquid. This helps to develop the rice's flavor and prevent it from sticking together. Be sure to stir the rice constantly so that it doesn't burn.
  • Add the liquid gradually. Don't dump all of the liquid into the rice at once. Add it in small increments, stirring constantly. This will help the rice to absorb the liquid evenly and prevent it from becoming too soupy.
  • Cook the risotto until it is creamy and tender. This will take about 18-20 minutes. Stir the risotto frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Season the risotto to taste. Once the risotto is cooked, season it with salt, pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese. You can also add other herbs or spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or saffron.
  • Serve the risotto immediately. Risotto is best served hot, so don't let it sit around for too long before serving.

Conclusion:

Andrew's Herb Risotto is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is made with Arborio or Carnaroli rice, fresh herbs, vegetables, and a good quality broth. The risotto is cooked until it is creamy and tender, then seasoned to taste with salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese. It is best served hot, so don't let it sit around for too long before serving.
