Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the artichoke hearts and reduce the heat to medium high. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, or until the hearts are beginning to brown. Remove to a plate and set aside.
- To the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the butter and the shallots and cook for 1 minute, stirring regularly. Add the rice and salt and stir with a wooden spoon to coat all the kernels with oil. Continue to cook for 3 minutes, or until the rice is sizzling. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until it is almost completely absorbed. Now begin adding the chicken broth, one cup at a time, stirring frequently between additions. After the first cup is almost entirely absorbed, add the next cup. Continue in this way until the rice is cooked through and you have a creamy risotto, about 20 minutes in all. (The risotto should be slightly loose, not dry; it should run off your spoon. If it gets too dry, add a bit more broth.) Stir in the peas, feta, chives, mint and black pepper. Gently stir in the artichoke hearts and the lemon juice. Serve.

GORDON RAMSAY'S JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE RISOTTO WITH SCALLOPS
This is a really good way to use Jerusalem artichokes without all the fuss of having to peel them first. Many restaurants peel them and then put them into acidulated water to stop them going brown, but this just results in lemon-flavoured artichokes and a horrible, sour purée when they're cooked. It's no good having a beautiful white colour to the purée but no taste. With this recipe, the purée will be slightly off-white but it will have a lovely, intense flavour. When you stir it into the risotto, it adds a real earthiness. I offset the richness of the risotto and scallops with a drizzle of sweet sherry caramel

Steps:
- Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a pan, add the rice, and stir for 2-3 minutes so the rice absorbs the oil. Add the stock a little at a time, stirring constantly, until it has all been absorbed and the rice is cooked - around 25-30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the artichokes in 3 1/2 tablespoons of the butter until soft. Add the cream. Reduce down until the cream has almost evaporated and the artichokes are velvety in texture, stirring every now and then to make sure it's not catching on the bottom of the pan. Purée in a food processor. Mix the artichoke purée into the rice and add the remaining 3 1/2 tablespoons of butter and the parmesan. Check for seasoning.
- Slice each scallop into three pieces and sauté in hot oil for 1 minute on each side until they're medium-rare. Place on top of the risotto. In a heavy-based pan, heat the sugar until it's a dark golden colour. Carefully add the sherry vinegar and reduce until you have a thick syrup. Drizzle this over the risotto, and serve.
LEMON AND ARTICHOKE RISOTTO WITH SHRIMP
I adapted this recipe from Rachel Ray's 365: No Repeats cookbook. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp or they will be rubbery. The estimate for the amount of liquid will vary depending on the several factors, but you should be safe with at least 6 cups of pre-heated liquid, you can expect your rice to be done once you have added 4-6 cups. Start checking for texture after the 4th cup is added.

Steps:
- Trim each of the artichokes. First slice off the stem flush with the base. Tear off all the heavy outer leaves, then the inner ones until the thick, fleshy bottom is exposed. By this time there should be a small pointed cluster of leaves left. Cut through the leaves and the bottom vertically to quarter it, then cut away the remaining leaves and the fuzzy choke, leaving the round, solid bottom pieces. Cut the quarters of the bottom in narrow wedges and place in a bowl of lemon juice mixed with water to prevent browning while you prepare the rest of the artichokes.
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy saucepan. Add the onion, saute over medium heat for about five minutes, then stir in the garlic. Dry the artichoke pieces on a paper towel, add them to the saucepan and saute, stirring, another two to three minutes. Stir in the rice.
- Keep the chicken stock at a simmer and add it to the rice about one-half cup at a time. Slowly stir the rice, adding more stock as it is absorbed. Regulate the heat so the mixture simmers. Continue adding stock and stirring until the rice is just tender and all the stock has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. Fold in the parsley and serve with Parmesan cheese on the side.
ASPARAGUS, ARTICHOKE AND SHIITAKE RISOTTO
This recipe was given to me by a dear friend and is adapted from Gourmet. I love it because it uses rather unusual vegetables for a risotto but they meld together so beautifully. This risotto becomes so deliciously creamy with just the right amount of crunch! *I found that if you don't want to do al the work of preparing the artichoke hearts that frozen works just as well but you may want to use more than 2. Canned gives a different and less delicious taste and texture.

Number Of Ingredients 9
Steps:
- In a large saute pan, heat up 3 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt, then saute until they soften. This process takes about 5 minutes. When the onions are softened, add the arborio rice. Toast the rice in the pan for a few minutes. The rice will become opaque. When the rice is toasted/opaque, add the white wine, then simmer until the wine is almost completely absorbed. After the wine is almost absorbed, begin adding the stock one ladle at a time. You should add just enough stock to cover the rice, then stir frequently until almost all of it is absorbed. Continue this process until about half of the stock is added. Then, add the chopped artichokes. Continue the process of adding the stock by the ladle until all is absorbed. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the fresh spinach over medium heat with a pinch of salt. The leaves will wilt in about 5 minutes. Set pan aside. When the risotto has absorbed all of the stock, remove the pan from heat and stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and grated parmesan cheese. Fold in the sauteed spinach as well. Serve warm with additional parmesan cheese.

Tips:
- Choose the right rice: Arborio or Carnaroli rice are the best choices for risotto because they hold their shape well and release starch as they cook, creating a creamy texture.
- Toast the rice: Toasting the rice before adding the liquid helps to bring out its flavor and prevent it from sticking together.
- Use a good quality stock: The stock you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your risotto, so use a good quality stock or broth that has a lot of flavor.
- Add the liquid gradually: Add the liquid to the rice in small increments, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid before adding more. This will help to create a creamy texture.
- Stir constantly: Stirring the risotto constantly will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and will also help to release the starch from the rice.
- Cook until al dente: Risotto should be cooked until it is al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. It should not be overcooked, or it will become mushy.
