Creamy brown rice risotto is a hearty Italian dish made with arborio rice, vegetables, broth, and Parmesan cheese. The rice is cooked in the broth until it is tender and creamy, and the vegetables add a pop of color and flavor. Risotto is a versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish, and it is often paired with protein such as chicken, fish, or shrimp. Brown rice is a healthier alternative to white rice, and it adds a nutty flavor to the risotto. Additionally, it is a good source of fiber and nutrients, making it a great choice for a healthy and delicious meal.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup short grain brown rice (or brown sushi rice)
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
12 ounces mixed mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/2 cup white wine
1 red bell pepper, cored and diced
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth, room temperature (or chicken broth)
1/2 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
truffle oil (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan over medium-high, combine the rice and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to simmer and cook for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, leaving it covered. The rice will not be completely cooked and there will be some water in the pan. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high, heat the oil. Add the onion and mushrooms, then saute until just starting to brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the wine and stir vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes to deglaze the pan. When the wine comes to a simmer, add the bell pepper and the rice along with any liquid in the pan. Stir well.
  • Add the broth and stir well. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the liquid has thickened and reduced, about 10 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch mixture, then cook for another minute. Stir in the cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper. If desired, drizzle with truffle oil just before serving.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 quart vegetable broth, or as needed
5 cups water, or as needed
½ pound asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 cups short-grain brown rice
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 zucchini, diced
½ cup green peas, thawed if frozen
⅔ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon butter
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring vegetable broth and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Add asparagus, reduce heat to low, and simmer until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer asparagus to a bowl of ice water; let chill for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, cover saucepan and keep broth mixture at a near-simmer on low heat.
  • Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring gently, until toasted and fragrant, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Pour 1 cup of the hot broth mixture into the rice and cook, stirring constantly, until liquid is almost absorbed. Adjust heat if necessary to maintain a simmer. Repeat, using 1/2 cup liquid at a time, until rice is just beginning to become tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Stir in diced carrots. Continue adding broth and stirring rice mixture until carrots are just tender, about 20 minutes more. Mix in zucchini; if broth mixture gets low, add hot water as needed. Cook and stir, adding broth, until rice is tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Mix in drained asparagus and peas and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes, Add Parmesan and butter, stirring until butter melts. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour in an additional 1/2 cup hot broth to the finished risotto for a softer consistency, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use a wide, shallow pan. This will help the rice cook evenly and prevent it from sticking.
  • Toast the rice before cooking. This will help to develop its flavor and give it a slightly nutty taste.
  • Use a flavorful broth. The broth is the key to a good risotto, so make sure to use one that has a lot of flavor. Vegetable broth, chicken broth, or beef broth are all good options.
  • Add the liquid in small increments. This will help the rice to absorb the liquid evenly and prevent it from becoming too soupy.
  • Stir the risotto constantly. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan and to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Finish the risotto with butter and cheese. This will help to make it creamy and rich.

Conclusion:

Risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. It's a great way to use up leftover rice, and it's also a perfect meal for a special occasion. With a little practice, you can make risotto like a pro.
