INSTANT POT® RISOTTO ALLA MILANESE



Instant Pot® Risotto alla Milanese image

This recipe dates back to the 1500s and originates in Milan. Typically there are very few ingredients in this dish, resulting in a risotto that is deep yellow with a delicate flavor. I've changed the ingredients to suit modern cooks; originally beef marrow was used, something that is difficult to find. This recipe makes six, very large servings. It does not reheat well.

RISOTTO MILANESE

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
Kosher salt
2 cups Carnaroli or Arborio rice
2 large pinches saffron
3 to 4 cups chicken stock, kept HOT
1 1/2 to 2 cups dry white wine
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 to 3/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • Coat a large saucepan generously with olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and salt and sweat them until translucent, about 5 minutes. Bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Add the rice and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, letting the rice slightly stick to the bottom of the pan and scraping it off. It should also sound crackly.
  • Add the saffron to the hot chicken stock; the stock should turn bright yellow.
  • Add the wine to the pan until it covers the surface of the rice. Season with salt and cook over a medium-high heat, stirring continuously until the wine has absorbed into the rice. Add the saffron chicken stock to the pan until it covers the rice. Cook over a medium-high heat, stirring continuously until the stock has absorbed into the rice.
  • Repeat this process two more times with the hot saffron chicken stock. When the third addition of the stock has absorbed and the rice is very creamy, bite a couple grains of rice to be sure it is cooked perfectly. If it is still a little crunchy, add a little more stock and cook the rice for another couple of minutes. When the rice is cooked perfectly, remove it from the heat.
  • Toss in the butter and Parmigiano-Reggiano and "whip the heck out of it." The rice should be creamy but still flow and hold its own shape.

INSTANT POT® RISOTTO



Instant Pot® Risotto image

Risotto in the Instant Pot® has been a life-changer for me! Risotto used to be something that I'd make on special occasions, due to the time it took to make. No more standing at the stove, stirring and adding broth one ladle at a time for 40 minutes! Use that extra time to make something delicious to accompany this simple risotto. Our favorite is pan-seared scallops with a lemon-garlic sauce.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Rice     Risotto Recipes

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ¾ cups uncooked Arborio rice
½ cup unsalted butter, divided
1 ½ quarts beef stock
3 tablespoons beef marrow
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon saffron powder
¾ cup dry white wine
salt to taste
1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Melt half of the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Simmer the onion and beef marrow in the butter for about 10 minutes. When the onion is soft, remove the onion and marrow from the pan using a slotted spoon, and set aside. (I like to leave the onions in.)
  • Saute the rice in the pan over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Stir constantly so the rice will not stick and burn. Stir in one ladle of beef stock, and keep stirring until it is mostly absorbed, ladling and stirring in more of the broth as well as the white wine in the same manner, until the rice is almost al dente. Stir in the saffron, remaining butter, and 3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Turn off the heat, cover and let sit for 4 or 5 minutes.
  • Serve as a bed for ossibuchi or by itself with as much of the remaining Parmesan cheese sprinkled over as you like.

SAFFRON RISOTTO IN THE PRESSURE COOKER



Saffron Risotto in the Pressure Cooker image

In Italy, this is known as 'risotto alla Milanese,' 'risotto giallo,' or 'risotto allo zafferano.' Whatever you call it, it is the king of risottos, the simplest yet best known of all. The traditional preparation requires 20 minutes of stirring and cooking, but I managed to learn how to prepare it in the pressure cooker or an Instant Pot®. I swear, you won't notice the difference! I have provided further tips for all your pressure cooker risottos in the notes at the end of the recipe.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Rice     Risotto Recipes

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pinch saffron
⅓ cup hot water
4 tablespoons butter, divided
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1 ½ cups Arborio rice
¾ cup dry white wine
3 ¼ cups boiling vegetable stock
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Soak saffron threads in hot water in a bowl.
  • Melt 2 1/2 tablespoons butter in a pressure cooker over low heat. Cook and stir shallot until soft, about 3 minutes. Add rice; cook and stir for a few minutes until rice has absorbed butter and is toasted, about 3 minutes. Pour in wine and allow alcohol to cook off, about 1 minute. Add boiling stock all at once and stir. Close cooker securely and place pressure regulator over vent according to manufacturer's instructions. Increase heat to high. Heat until steam escapes in a steady flow and makes a whistling sound. Reduce heat to low and cook for 4 minutes.
  • Remove cooker from heat and release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Carefully open once pressure is completely released and stir well. Stir in saffron, remaining 1 1/2 tablespoon butter, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
  • Let risotto rest for 3 minutes in order to expand, soak up the stock, and absorb flavor. Serve in warmed bowls with extra grated Parmesan cheese.

RISOTTO ALLA MILANESE



Risotto Alla Milanese image

I know that this is a common recipe, but there are none quite like this on Zaar. As a vegetarian, I leave out the pork and livers and add something else; maybe shrimp, maybe vegetables. Risotto is endlessly adaptable, so don't be afraid to experiment! (You can, of course, include the pork and livers and I promise I will still speak to you!)

Categories     Rice

Time 1h

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons butter
2 ounces salt pork, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
4 chicken livers, finely chopped
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 cup uncooked arborio rice (I've used brown arborio, excellent sub!) or 1 cup other short-grain rice (I've used brown arborio, excellent sub!)
3 cups boiling chicken broth or 3 cups vegetable broth
1/8 teaspoon powdered saffron (optional, ok, the original recipe said option(this is not really optional for me, since I associate)
good quality grated parmesan cheese or romano cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the butter, salt pork, and olive oil in a heavy skillet over moderate heat.
  • Add the onions and cook until lightly browned.
  • Add the chopped livers, salt, and pepper, and stir. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add the rice, stirring well, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the boiling broth, stir well, cover and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
  • Test for seasoning and doneness. The risotto should be creamy in texture and the rice should be cooked but still slightly firm to the teeth.
  • If the rice is too dry, add a little more broth. If too runny, cook uncovered for a minute or two.
  • Do not overcook. Just prior to serving stir in the saffron. Serve with grated fresh parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.
  • You might also want to add some freshly ground black pepper on top.
  • For Vegetarian remove the Chicken liver, the salt pork and do not use the chicken broth. Also do not add any fish/seafood such as shrimp to the recipe. Fish/seafood is not considered vegetarian.

RISOTTO ALLA MILANESE



Risotto Alla Milanese image

From www.italyum.com. "This recipe belongs to the culinary tradition of the city of Milan. It's a very old recipe, probably more than 400 years old and the story goes that while an artist was preparing the dye to colour the window glass of the cathedral (Il Duomo di Milano), his apprentice, by accident, poured some saffron powder into the near by pan of rice. Since then, the recipe has been elaborated many times, until nowadays. When cooking the proper "risotto alla Milanese" you require the use of some beef bone marrow at an early stage in the cooking."

Categories     Short Grain Rice

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

350 g carnaroli rice (alternatively Arborio rice (12- 14 oz)
50 g butter (2 oz, 1 knob of 30 g and 1 knob of 20 g)
40 g beef marrow (1 1/2 oz)
1/2 an onion (finely chopped)
100 ml white wine (3 1/2 fl oz)
1 liter of hot beef (1 3/4 pints, I have to say that you often need more than 1 litre so have some extra stock handy) or 1 liter chicken stock - 2 stock cubes (1 3/4 pints, I have to say that you often need more than 1 litre so have some extra stock handy)
1/4 g saffron (usually 1 sachet)
60 g grated parmesan cheese (2 1/2 oz)
salt for seasoning

Steps:

  • Put 30 g of the butter in a large pan and melt it (keep the remaining butter for later).
  • Add the finely chopped onion.
  • Sweat over a medium heat for about 2 minutes.
  • Add the bone marrow and continue cooking for another 3 minutes, breaking it with the spoon while stirring.
  • Once the onion is soft, add the rice and and stir until the rice is completely coated with the fat.
  • You can see that the rice will start to become translucent, keep stirring and sweat the rice for a minute or two.
  • Then, add the white wine, keep stirring and let the wine evaporate (it will probably take a couple of minutes).
  • Now, add the stock and turn the heat to medium/low, the stock, which is kept simmering in order to stay hot, should be added at the rate of a couple of ladlefuls at a time and when this is absorbed, add more stock.
  • Carry on in this way for about 15 minutes, during this stage, do not leave the pan alone and stir regularly (gently).
  • After 15 minutes, you will probably need an extra 3 to 5 minutes to complete the final stage of cooking (this time depends on the type of rice you are using). From now on, taste the rice every minute until the rice is cooked "al dente" (this means that the rice is tender outside, but still slightly firm to the bite in the centre). At the same time, the tasting will tell you if you need to adjust seasoning with salt. Regular but gentle stirring is required for the last minutes in order to avoid the risotto sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • In these last minutes, if the stock is completely absorbed, you can gradually add a bit more (say a half ladle at a time) because at this final stage you do not want the risotto becoming too watery.
  • Now, at about the 15th minute, put the saffron powder into a glass.
  • Add half a ladle of stock and dissolve the saffron stirring with a small spoon and then add the saffron into the pan.
  • Stir until all the rice is uniformly coloured (golden yellow). Continue cooking and adding stock as required.
  • When the rice is perfectly cooked "al dente", add the Parmesan cheese and stir for few seconds until the Parmesan has melted.
  • Then, put the cooker off, add all the remaining butter (cut into pieces) and stir until completely melted.
  • Cover the pan with a lid for about 1 minute and allow the risotto to rest before serving it.
  • Risotto should be served "all'onda" (like a wave). This means that when you serve it onto the plate, it should still flow a little.
  • Buon appetito!

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

1 quart homemade meat broth
2 tablespoons pancetta, diced
2 tablespoons shallots, finely chopped
5 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups arborio rice
1/2 teaspoon saffron, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

  • Meat broth may be substituted with 1 cup canned chicken broth mixed with 3 cups of water.
  • Pancetta with beef marrow or proscuitto.
  • Shallot with onion.
  • Saffron should be dissolved in 1 1/2 cups hot broth or water.
  • Bring the broth to a slow, steady simmer.
  • Must be either homemade or[very] low sodium.
  • In a heavy-bottomed casserole, over medium-high heat, saute the pancetta and shallots in 3 tablespoons of the butter and all of the oil.
  • As soon as the shallots become translucent, add the rice and stir until it is well coated.
  • Saute lightly for a few moments and then add 1/2 cup of the simmering broth, about a ladleful.
  • Proceed according to the basic risotto technique.
  • After 15 minutes, add half of the dissolved saffron.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Use the best arborio rice you can find, and make sure your parmesan cheese is freshly grated.
  • Toast the rice: Toasting the rice before you add the liquid helps to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth you use will also have a big impact on the flavor of the risotto. Use a homemade broth if you can, or a good quality store-bought broth.
  • Add the liquid gradually: Don't add all of the liquid at once. Add it in small batches, stirring constantly, until the rice is cooked through.
  • Stir constantly: Stirring the risotto constantly will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and will also help to create a creamy texture.
  • Finish with butter and cheese: Once the risotto is cooked, stir in some butter and parmesan cheese. This will add a rich, creamy flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Instant Pot Risotto alla Milanese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, this risotto is sure to please everyone at the table.
