A unique take on the traditional risotto; however, this one uses brown rice along with veggies and kidney beans. Have not tried it yet, but it sounds good.

FENNEL AND BROAD BEAN RISOTTO



Fennel and Broad Bean Risotto image

My boyfriend's aunt taught me to make risotto so this recipe is inspired by her. You really need to stand by the pot all the time for this so make sure to prepare everything before you start. I don't like it too rich so I add the cheese myself after serving, but if you like it creamy add the cheese while in the pot and stir well.

Yield Makes about 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 14 1/2-ounce can vegetable broth
1 cup dry white wine
1 large onion, chopped
1 large leek (white and pale green parts), chopped
1 cup medium-grain white rice
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 15- to 16-ounce can red beans or kidney beans, rinsed, drained
1 large head radicchio or 1/4 head curly endive, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
2 arugula bunches, thinly sliced (about 1 cup) or 1 cup sliced curly endive
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring broth and wine to boil in heavy large saucepan. Add onion, leek, rice and garlic and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until rice is tender and mixture is thick and creamy, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
  • Mix beans, radicchio and arugula into rice and cook until vegetables wilt, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve, passing Parmesan separately if desired.

Tips for Making a Delicious Kidney Bean Risotto

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This means using fresh, flavorful vegetables, a good quality broth, and creamy arborio rice.
  • Don't overcook the rice. Arborio rice should be cooked until it is al dente, with a slight bite to it.
  • Add the liquids gradually. This will help the rice to absorb the flavors of the broth and other ingredients.
  • Stir the risotto frequently. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the pan and will also help to create a creamy texture.
  • Season the risotto to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Garnish the risotto with fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion

Kidney bean risotto is a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture, flavorful broth, and hearty kidney beans, this risotto is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
