RISOTTO WITH ASPARAGUS



Risotto with Asparagus image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 bunches thick asparagus (about 2 pounds)
1 sprig fresh thyme or lemon thyme
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large shallot, diced
2 cups arborio rice
Kosher salt
1/3 cup dry white wine
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
Freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 head Bibb lettuce, cut into strips
8 ounces robiola or taleggio cheese, thinly sliced
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Peel the bottom third of the asparagus stalks with a vegetable peeler. Snap each stalk where it breaks naturally; reserve 4 of the peeled bottoms for crostini (below). Thinly slice 6 asparagus bottoms and place the rest of the bottoms in a saucepan with 8 cups water and the thyme to make asparagus broth; bring to a simmer.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until glossy, about 1 minute. Add 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. Pour in the wine and stir until absorbed. Stir in 1/2 cup of the asparagus broth until absorbed (use a ladle to add the broth, keeping the solids in the pan). Continue to add broth in 1/2-cup increments, stirring constantly and allowing the liquid to be absorbed before adding more, about 10 minutes. (You should have about half the broth left.) Stir in the sliced asparagus bottoms and the lemon zest. Add the remaining broth, 1/2 cup at a time, until the rice is just tender, 5 to 8 more minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the asparagus tips in a large skillet, cover with water and season with salt and pepper. Simmer over medium-high heat until just tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the parmesan and lemon juice to the risotto. Stir in the lettuce, remove from the heat and season with salt. Divide among bowls, top with the robiola and season with pepper. Drizzle the asparagus tips with olive oil and spoon over the risotto.

Provided by Realtor by day

Categories     Rice

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 cups water
3/4 lb asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 small onion, finely chopped
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 1/4 cups arborio rice
1/4 cup dry white wine
3/4 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Bring broth and water to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Add asparagus and simmer, uncovered, until just tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer asparagus with a slotted spoon to an ice bath to stop cooking, then drain. Keep broth barely simmering, covered.
  • Cook onion in 2 tbsp butter with 1/4 tsp salt in a 4 qt heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.

  • Stir in 1/2 cup broth mixture and briskly simmer, stirring frequently, until absorbed. Continue adding broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently and letting each addition be absorbed before adding the next, until rice is creamy and tender but still al dente (it should be the consistency of thick soup), about 18 minutes. There will be some left-over broth mixture.
  • Sir in shrimp, zest and remaining2 tbsp butter, parmesan, parsley and pepper to taste. (thin risotto with some of remaining broth if necessary).

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your risotto will taste. If possible, use organic vegetables and sustainably sourced seafood.
  • Cook the Rice Properly: Risotto rice should be cooked slowly and gradually, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors of the other ingredients. Don't rush the process; it takes time to make perfect risotto.
  • Use a Good Broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your risotto. Use a flavorful broth, such as chicken, vegetable, or seafood broth.
  • Add the Ingredients in Stages: Don't add all the ingredients to the risotto at once. Add them in stages, allowing each ingredient to cook through before adding the next.
  • Stir the Risotto Regularly: Stirring the risotto regularly will help prevent it from sticking to the pan and will also help to release the starch from the rice, which will give the risotto its creamy texture.
  • Don't Overcook the Risotto: Risotto should be cooked until it is al dente, with a slight bite to it. Overcooked risotto will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Season to Taste: Once the risotto is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. You can also add a knob of butter or a drizzle of olive oil for extra richness.

Conclusion:

Garlic Shrimp and Asparagus Risotto is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is also a relatively easy dish to make, as long as you follow the tips above. With a little practice, you will be able to make perfect risotto every time.
