Time 1h

Yield Serves four to six

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed
Salt to taste
2 quarts well seasoned chicken or vegetable stock, as needed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup minced onion
1 1/2 cups arborio or carnaroli rice
1 to 2 garlic cloves to taste, green shoots removed, minced
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc
2 teaspoons finely chopped lemon zest
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water comes to the boil, salt generously and add the Brussels sprouts. Boil two minutes, then transfer to the ice water. Drain, dry on paper towels and cut in quarters.
  • Put your stock or broth into a saucepan, and bring it to a simmer over low heat, with a ladle nearby or in the pot. Make sure that it is well seasoned.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat in a wide, heavy nonstick skillet. Sear the Brussels sprouts just until beginning to brown, about three minutes, stirring and shaking the pan. Remove from the heat, and transfer to a plate or bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat in the same skillet, or in a large, wide saucepan. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt, and cook gently until it is just tender, about three minutes. Do not brown. Add the rice and the garlic, and stir until the grains separate and begin to crackle. Add the wine, and stir until it has been absorbed. Begin adding the simmering stock, a couple of ladlefuls (about 1/2 cup) at a time. The stock should just cover the rice and should be bubbling, not too slowly but not too quickly. Cook, stirring often, until it is just about absorbed. Add another ladleful or two of the stock, and continue to cook in this fashion, stirring in more stock when the rice is almost dry. You do not have to stir constantly, but stir often. After 10 minutes, stir in the Brussels sprouts. Continue adding stock and stirring. When the rice is tender all the way through but still chewy, in about 25 minutes, it is done. Taste now and adjust seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste. Add another ladleful of stock to the rice. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice and Parmesan, and remove from the heat. The mixture should be creamy (add more stock if it isn't). Serve right away in wide soup bowls or on plates, spreading the risotto in a thin layer rather than a mound.

Brussels Sprout Risotto with Lemony White Beans image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 cups (960 grams) low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 small (120 grams) yellow onion, diced
Kosher salt
2 large cloves garlic, chopped
1 1/4 cups (250 grams) arborio rice
2 cups (480 grams) dry white wine
1 pound Brussels sprouts, shredded
Lemony White Beans, recipe follows
1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
One 15.5-ounce can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 Calabrian chiles, minced
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place a medium saucepan on a back burner over low heat. Add the chicken broth and heat to warm.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and season with a pinch of salt. Cook until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds to a minute until fragrant. Add the rice and increase the heat to medium. Stir the rice to coat in the oil and toast for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant.

Stir frequently until the broth is absorbed and the rice begins to release its starches, 8 to 10 minutes. Repeat with 2 to 3 more additions of the remaining broth, stirring the rice frequently, until the rice is tender but slightly toothsome and the risotto is loose and soupy.
  • Stir in the Lemony White Beans and 1 1/4 cups of the Parmesan. Serve individual portions in shallow bowls, topping with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of the remaining Parmesan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the beans, olive oil, chiles, lemon zest and juice, salt and a couple turns of black pepper. Gently mash, leaving some beans intact. Set aside until ready to incorporate into the risotto.
