CARROT RISOTTO



Carrot Risotto image

This risotto is carroty. It's cheesy. It has a nice bite to it, which is exactly what you want. And because the backbone to any risotto is a really good broth, I'm going to show you how we make our carrot stock at Dirt Candy.

Provided by Amanda Cohen

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 white onion
3 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups arborio rice
1/3 cup white wine
1 tablespoon lemon juice, preferably fresh-squeezed
6 cups Carrot Stock, recipe follows
1 cup carrot juice, store-bought or homemade
1/2 cup carrot, finely diced
Kosher salt, to taste
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons Pecorino, grated
1 tablespoon thyme leaves
1 large white onion
2 stalks celery
3 large carrots
3 cloves garlic
8 cups water

Steps:

  • Risotto: Strain the stock to yield 6 cups (add water to the stock if necessary) and place in stock pot over low heat to simmer. Finely dice the onion half; then peel and mince the garlic. In a skillet, heat olive oil to rippling, add onions and garlic, and cook until onions are translucent, 3-5 minutes. Add the rice and stir to toast. Continue to move it around the pan so it doesn't stick to the bottom, about 7 minutes.
  • When the rice has grown translucent from absorbing the oil, add wine and stir until it evaporates; do the same with the lemon juice. Once the pan is fairly dry, slowly ladle the simmering carrot stock into the rice in one-cup increments (rice and stock need to be same temperature). Stir until the liquid has been incorporated before adding the next cup. Don't rush it: you want to let the carrot flavor slowly develop. (This is the trick to cooking risotto: take it slow!)
  • When you have two cups of stock left in the saucepan, pour the carrot juice into the stock and stir until it's incorporated. Then, add the next cup of the carrot juice/stock mixture to the rice and incorporate. When you have one cup of the mixture left, stir the diced carrots into the rice before adding the final cup of liquid.
  • Finish the dish: When the rice looks creamy and there's no liquid sloshing around, add salt, butter, and half of the Pecorino. (Omit butter and Pecorino for vegan eaters.) Spoon onto a serving plate, sprinkle with the thyme and remaining Pecorino, and serve.
  • Peel, trim, and roughly chop the onion and carrots, and roughly chop celery; add to stock pot. Smash garlic cloves to remove peel, then add to pot. Add water, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Strain and reserve liquid, discarding solids.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful vegetables and a good quality Parmesan cheese will make all the difference in the taste of your risotto.
  • Don't overcook the rice. Risotto should be cooked until it is al dente, with a slight bite to it. If you overcook the rice, it will become mushy and lose its texture.
  • Use a wooden spoon to stir the risotto. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the pan and will also help to create a creamy texture.
  • Add the cheese and butter at the end of cooking. This will help to prevent the cheese from curdling and will also help to create a rich, creamy sauce.
  • Serve the risotto immediately. Risotto is best enjoyed fresh, so serve it as soon as it is cooked.

Conclusion:

Parmesan carrot risotto is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its creamy texture, flavorful vegetables, and rich Parmesan cheese, this risotto is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this Parmesan carrot risotto a try.
