RISOTTO IN A PRESSURE COOKER



Risotto in a Pressure Cooker image

This risotto is reason enough to buy a pressure cooker. Forget all those wive's tales about these things blowing up... they have a new, safer generation. This is a no-stir risotto that could compete with the best! I serve it as is, but you could add a cooked vegetable or bits of meat after the pressure has fallen and the rice is cooked. From "Cooking Under Pressure" by Lorna Sass

Categories     Rice

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons sweet butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 cup finely minced onion
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
3 1/2-4 cups chicken stock
1 cup grated gruyere cheese (4 oz)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
salt, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat the butter and oil in the cooker. Saute the onion until soft but not brown, about 2 minute Stir in the rice, making sure to coat it thoroughly with the fat. Stir in 3-1/2 c of the stock (watch for sputtering oil).
  • Lock the lid in place and over high heat bring to hig pressure. Adjust the heat to maintain high pressure and cook for 6 minute Reduce pressure with a quick-release method (see below). Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape.
  • Taste the rice, and if it's not sufficiently cooked, add a bit more stock as you stir. Cook over medium heat until the additional liquid has been absorbed and the rice is desired consistency, another minute or two. When the rice is ready, stir in the Gruyere and Parmesan, add salt to taste and serve immediately.
  • NOTES: Adding some sort of fat is critical when cooking rice and grains so that the liquid/starch doesn't foam and plug up the steam vents. I'd also keep a close eye on it toward the end as I imagine that if you use less water the rice might dry out in the last minute or so. Also, Cooking Under Pressure is a nice reference book with a number of modern/gourmet- type recipes such as this one.
  • For better taste and texture, it's essential to use an Italian short-grain white rice such as Arborio, Carnaroli, or Maratelli. Traditionally the rice is not rinsed before cooking since the water would wash away starches that contribute to the velvety sauce enveloping each grain. The perfect risotto should be slightly soupy and properly chewy, with the rice offering just a pleasant resistance to the bite. For this reason, the pressure is always quick-released and the risotto must be served as soon as it is finished -- Leftover risotto can also be shaped into pancakes and warmed or pan-fried in a little butter, or heated in the microwave.
  • Using the basic formula of 3-1/2 to 4 c of liquid to 1-1/2 c Arborio rice you can create your own recipes and also use traditional recipes.
  • Although classic risottos usually contain wine, the above recipe(s) are flavorful without it.

PRESSURE COOKER PORCINI RISOTTO



Pressure Cooker Porcini Risotto image

This recipe, adapted from the slow-cooking maven Lorna Sass, proves that pressure cookers shouldn't be associated with overcooked food. The rice turns out perfectly in the end, and you save a lot of time and effort. It's finished off with peas for a bit of color, and the usual cheese, salt and pepper. It's a meal that will justify buying that pressurized pot.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine or dry vermouth
3 to 3 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 ounce dried porcini, broken into bits
1 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more to pass at the table
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the oil over high heat in a 2 1/2-quart or larger stovetop pressure cooker, or in an electric pressure cooker using the sauté function. Add the onions, and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Stir in the rice, taking care to coat it with the oil. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  • Stir in the wine. Cook over high heat until the rice has absorbed the wine, about 30 seconds. Stir in 3 cups of the broth and the porcini, taking care to scrape up any rice that might be sticking to the bottom of the cooker.
  • Lock the lid in place. Over high heat, bring to high pressure. Reduce the heat just enough to maintain high pressure, and cook for 4 minutes. Turn off the heat. Quick-release the pressure by setting the cooker under cold running water. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow the steam to escape. If using an electric cooker, cook at high pressure for 4 minutes. Manually release the pressure.
  • Set the cooker over medium-high heat or turn on the sauté function, and stir vigorously. The risotto will look fairly soupy at this point. Boil while stirring every minute or so, until the mixture thickens and the rice is tender but still chewy, 1 to 4 minutes. Stir in the peas when the rice is almost done. (if the mixture becomes dry before the rice is done, stir in the extra 1/2 cup of broth. The finished risotto should be slightly runny; it will continue to thicken as it sits on the plate.)
  • Turn off the heat. Stir in the Parmesan, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with a little parsley. Pass extra Parmesan at the table.

RISOTTO WITH PEAS



Risotto With Peas image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, weekday, side dish

Time 45m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, minced
1 pounds fresh peas, shelled (2 cups)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup Arborio rice
1/4 cup dry white wine
7 cups chicken stock, homemade or low-sodium canned
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a medium-size heavy saucepan, warm the oil. Add the onion and cook until barely softened, about 5 minutes. Add the peas, and shaking the pan to avoid burning, cook for 5 minutes. Remove and puree half the mixture and reserve. Also reserve the other, unpureed half.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the pot. Add the rice and cook over medium heat until it becomes opaque. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until the wine has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add the broth and the pureed pea mixture.
  • Cook at a lively simmer for 15 minutes. Add half the remaining unpureed pea mixture, stir and cook 10 minutes longer. Remove from the heat, add the remaining pea mixture and butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the cheese and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice. Arborio or Carnaroli rice are the best choices for risotto, as they hold their shape and release starch, creating a creamy sauce.
  • Toast the rice. This helps to bring out the flavor of the rice and prevents it from sticking to the pot.
  • Add liquid gradually. Don't add all of the liquid at once, or the rice will become mushy. Instead, add it in small increments, stirring constantly.
  • Use a wooden spoon. A wooden spoon is less likely to scratch the pot than a metal spoon.
  • Don't overcook the rice. Risotto should be cooked until it is al dente, with a slight bite to it.
  • Add butter and cheese. Once the rice is cooked, stir in butter and grated Parmesan cheese to create a creamy, flavorful sauce.
  • Serve immediately. Risotto is best served immediately, as it will continue to cook and become mushy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Pressure cooker risotto is a quick and easy way to make this classic Italian dish. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and creamy risotto that your family and friends will love.
