Best 9 Garlic And Roasted Tomato Risotto Recipes

ROASTED TOMATO RISOTTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
• With a knife, cut the cores out of the tomatoes, then place cut side down in a snug-fitting baking dish with the whole garlic bulb, and scatter over the thyme sprigs.
• Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil, season with sea salt, and roast for 1 hour, or until starting to burst open (the juices will add game-changing flavour later on).
• Bring the stock to a simmer. Peel and finely chop the onion and fennel, reserving any herby tops, then place in a large, high-sided pan on a medium heat with 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 knob of butter.
• Cook for 10 minutes, or until softened but not coloured, stirring occasionally, then stir in the rice to toast for 2 minutes. Pour in the vermouth and stir until absorbed.
• Add a ladleful of stock and wait until it's been fully absorbed before adding another, stirring constantly and adding ladlefuls of stock until the rice is cooked - it will need 16 to 18 minutes.
• Beat in the remaining knob of butter, finely grate and beat in the Parmesan, then season to perfection and turn the heat off. Cover the pan and leave to relax for 2 minutes so the risotto becomes creamy and oozy.
• Divide the risotto between warm plates, place a tomato in the centre with a little sweet garlic and the herby fennel tops, then drizzle over the tasty tomato juices.

ROASTED TOMATO RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it slides easily across pan bottom. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 15 minutes. Add rice, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring, until rice is heated through and slightly translucent, about 1 minute.
• Add enough stock to almost cover rice, about 2 cups. Simmer, stirring frequently, until rice has absorbed stock, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, garlic, and another cup of stock. Cook, stirring, until rice looks dry, then add another cup of stock. Continue gradually adding stock, cooking, and stirring, until rice is tender and creamy, about 25 minutes. Stir in butter and cheese, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
• Rinse chicken bones or chicken parts well. Remove the fat and skin if any, and place into a pot with just enough hot water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and let boil for about 2 minutes. Drain the chicken and discard the water (this will not remove flavor, just the blood and much of the coagulated proteins that cause scum). Return the chicken to the pot, cover with fresh water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and gently simmer stock for about 1 hour, skimming whenever fat or scum accumulates on the surface. Add more hot water, if necessary, to keep the level consistent.
• After 1 hour simmering, add onion, carrot, celery, leeks, bay leaf, and peppercorns. Simmer for 15 minutes. Add parsley and thyme and simmer for an additional 15 minutes. Take pot off heat and strain stock. Cool, and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 4 months.
• Yield: approximately 12 cups stock
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut tomatoes in half cross-wise (through the equator), then place tomatoes, garlic cloves, and olive oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix gently. Line 2 large, rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Place tomato halves on baking sheets, cut side down, and pour any olive oil left in bowl over them. Divide garlic and thyme evenly between baking sheets. Bake until tomato skins loosen, about 20 minutes.
• Remove and discard tomato skins. Pour any juices that have accumulated into a bowl and reserve. Return tomatoes to oven and reduce temperature to 275 degrees. Continue roasting, periodically pouring off and reserving juices, until tomatoes are slightly shrunken and appear cooked and concentrated but not yet dry, 3 or 4 hours more.
• Remove tomatoes from oven and allow them to cool on baking sheets. Discard thyme. Transfer tomatoes and garlic to separate containers. Store tomatoes, garlic cloves, and reserved tomato juices in refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
• Yield: 40 roasted tomato halves, approximately 20 roasted garlic cloves, and 1 to 3 cups roasted tomato juice
• Colicchio: "A white chicken stock is the first step toward making brown chicken stock; it also has many uses of its own."
• "Roasting intensifies the flavor of even less-than-spectacular tomatoes, in case local greenmarket varieties are unavailable...The leftover roasted garlic, incidentally, has a creamy, mellow flavor not found in the raw vegetable and makes a great spread on a piece of crusty bread."

ROASTED GARLIC AND MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice the top off the head of garlic. Put it on a large square of aluminum foil and drizzle 1 teaspoon of the extra-virgin olive oil over the exposed cloves. Wrap the foil around and over the garlic. Roast until it is soft, about 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• Pour the 2 cans of broth into a saucepan, over low heat, and add 3 cans of water. Bring to a simmer.
• In a large, heavy bottomed skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute for 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook until the mushrooms release their juices, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and cook for 1 minute to toast.
• Add 2 ladles full of hot broth to the pan and gently stir the rice. Cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Adjust the heat so that the pan is just gently bubbling. Continue adding broth and stirring until all the broth is used and the rice is cooked but not mushy, about 20 to 25 minutes. Once the rice has absorbed all the liquid and is nice and creamy, stir in the butter, Parmesan and the garlic pulp. Cover and let rest for 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot.
• Reserve 3 cups for the round 2 recipe, Risotto Cakes.
• In a large bowl add the leftover risotto, eggs, corn, bread crumbs, and Parmesan and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Mix to combine well. Form into 12 balls about the size of a walnut, then flatten into patties and arrange on a baking sheet.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook until they are golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the patties from the oil to a baking sheet lined with a brown bag or paper towels to drain the excess oil. Transfer to a serving tray and serve hot.

GARLIC AND ROASTED TOMATO RISOTTO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C.
• Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.
• Place the cherry tomato halves in a single layer on lined tray.
• Place garlic on tray.
• Drizzle the tomatoes with 1 tsp of the oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Roast tomatoes and garlic in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until tomatoes shrivel around edges and garlic is soft.
• Remove from oven and squeeze garlic from skin, chop roughly and place in a small bowl.
• Set aside.
• Bring the stock just to the boil in a saucepan.
• Reduce heat and hold the stock at a gentle simmer.
• Heat remaining oil in a medium heavy-based saucepan over medium heat.
• Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes or until onion is soft and light golden.
• Add the rice and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until lightly coated with oil.
• Add a ladleful of the simmering stock to the rice and use a wooden spoon to stir constantly over medium-low heat until the liquid is completely absorbed.
• Continue to add the stock, a small ladleful (about ¼ cup) at a time, stirring constantly, and allow liquid to be absorbed before adding the next ladleful.
• Cook until rice is tender yet firm to the bite and risotto is creamy.
• Start tasting after about 15 minutes- it will probably take about 20-25 minutes to cook and should be moist and creamy when finished.
• Remove the risotto from the heat and add the garlic, basil and parmesan, and stir gently to combine.
• Taste and season with salt (if needed) and pepper.
• Add the tomatoes and fold through the rice gently.
• Spoon into serving bowls and serve immediately sprinkled with a little extra pepper.

EASY BAKED TOMATO RISOTTO

Steps:

• Before you get started, take a look at our weighing and measuring skills guide. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Melt the butter in a large ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat and fry the onion for 3-4 mins until starting to soften. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, stirring the whole time. Tip in the rice and mix well to coat in the buttery onion mixture.
• If you're using a stock cube, boil the kettle. Crumble the stock cube into a jug and carefully measure in 700ml hot water from the kettle, stirring to dissolve the cube. If using fresh stock, warm this in a pan over a low heat until steaming.
• Add the cherry tomatoes and hot stock to the rice, season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
• Cover with a tightly fitting lid and bake for 20 mins. Carefully remove from the oven using oven gloves and stir - the rice should be just cooked, with a little bite. The risotto may still look quite runny at this stage.
• Stir through most of the cheese, replace the lid and leave to stand for 3-4 mins. Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese and the basil to serve.

ROASTED TOMATOES WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place a piece of aluminum foil over a baking sheet.
• Place the tomatoes and garlic into a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and toss until evenly coated. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then spread evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake the grape tomatoes in the preheated oven until the skins pop and start to brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

ROASTED-GARLIC RISOTTO WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Bring stock to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low; whisk in 1 tablespoon garlic puree, and continue to simmer.
• Remove stems from mushrooms, and finely chop. Cut mushroom caps into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add caps, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 5 to 7 minutes; transfer to a bowl.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon butter to pan. Add shallots and mushroom stems, and cook, stirring, until shallots are soft, about 2 minutes. Add rice; cook, stirring, until coated with oil and butter, 3 to 4 minutes. Add wine; stir until completely absorbed.
• Stirring constantly, add 3/4 cup simmering stock at a time, letting rice absorb each addition before adding the next. Continue to add stock until rice is creamy but al dente, 17 to 20 minutes.
• Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons garlic puree and 4 tablespoons butter, along with the cheese, chives, and reserved cooked mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish risotto with additional cheese and chives.

RISOTTO WITH SLOW-ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300. Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet, cut side up. Brush with olive oil, scatter a few slivers of garlic on each, season with salt and pepper and place a piece of thyme sprig on top of each. Bake 3 hours. Discard thyme. Chop tomatoes and garlic.
• Place a 3-quart saucepan on medium heat, add pancetta and cook until fat starts to render and pancetta barely begins to brown. Add onion and sauté until soft but not brown. Stir in rice and cook a couple of minutes, until grains whiten a bit. Place stock in a separate saucepan on very low heat.
• Add wine to rice and onions, stir and cook just until it is absorbed. Start adding warm stock, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring and adding more as it is absorbed. When 3 cups of the stock have been used, fold in tomatoes and sage. Season with salt and pepper. Risotto should be almost al dente. Continue cooking about 5 minutes more, adding a little more stock or some water if needed until rice is just done. Divide among 4 to 6 warm plates, top each with cheese and serve.

• Bring broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan; keep warm over medium-low heat until ready to use.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large saucepan over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until golden and very soft, 8-10 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring often, until it darkens slightly and begins to stick to pan, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and nutmeg, if using, and cook, stirring occasionally, until some of the tomatoes begin to burst, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in rice; season with salt, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring, until some grains are translucent, about 3 minutes. Ladle in 2 cups broth and simmer, stirring frequently, until completely absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Ladle in another 2 cups broth and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until rice is cooked through and most of the broth is absorbed, 12-15 minutes.
