RADICCHIO OR RED ENDIVE RISOTTO



Radicchio or Red Endive Risotto image

I've enjoyed this risotto in the Veneto region of Italy, where it's usually made with a long-leafed radicchio called treviso. Red Belgian endives have a similar bitter flavor. If you use red wine for this your risotto will have a reddish cast.

Time 40m

Yield Serves four to six

Number Of Ingredients 10

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 red wine or dry white wine, such as pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc
2 medium heads radicchio or 4 or 5 purple Belgian endives, quartered, cored and cut crosswise in thin slivers
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (2 ounces)
2 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • 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 the olive oil over medium heat in a wide, heavy 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 radicchio or endive, and continue to cook in the same fashion until the rice is tender all the way through but still chewy, about 15 minutes. Taste now and adjust seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste. Add another ladleful of stock to the rice, along with the Parmesan and the parsley, and remove from the heat. The mixture should be creamy (add more stock if it isn't). Stir for about half a minute, then serve in wide soup bowls or on plates, spreading the risotto in a thin layer rather than a mound.

1 pound Italian rice

3 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth (28 fluid ounces)
3 1/2 cups water
1 cup finely chopped onion (1 large)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound radicchio, quartered, cored, and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices

  • Bring broth and water to a simmer in a 2 1/2- to 3-quart saucepan and keep at a bare simmer.
  • Cook onion in butter with bay leaf and salt in a wide 4-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring, until onion is pale golden, about 10 minutes.
  • While onion is cooking, cook radicchio in boiling salted water in a 4- to 6-quart pot until just tender, about 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and transfer to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Drain and squeeze dry.
  • Add rice to onion and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add wine and boil, stirring, until most of wine is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup simmering broth mixture and cook, stirring constantly and keeping at a strong simmer, until most of broth is absorbed. Continue cooking risotto and adding broth, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and letting each addition be absorbed before adding next, until rice is tender and creamy-looking but still al dente, about 18 minutes total (you may have some broth left over). Discard bay leaf, then add radicchio and cheese and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 1 minute. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

RISOTTO WITH RED WINE AND RADICCHIO



Risotto with Red Wine and Radicchio image

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 cups Chicken Broth or Meat Broth (see Soups)
1 head radicchio (medium size, about 12 ounces)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup dry red wine
2 cups medium-grain rice, such as Arborio, Carnaroli, or Vialone Nano
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • 1 Prepare the broth, if necessary. Bring the broth to a simmer over medium heat, then lower the heat so that it just keeps the broth hot. Trim the radicchio and cut it into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Cut the slices into 1 inch lengths. 2 In a wide heavy saucepan, heat the oil with 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is very tender, about 10 minutes. 3 Raise the heat to medium, stir in the radicchio, and cook until wilted, about 10 minutes. 4 Stir in the rice. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until most of the liquid is absorbed. Pour 1/2 cup of the broth over the rice. Cook and stir until most of the liquid is absorbed. 5 Continue adding broth about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring after each addition. Adjust the heat so that the liquid simmers rapidly but the rice does not stick to the pan. Halfway through the cooking, season with salt and pepper. Use only as much of the broth as needed until the rice becomes tender yet firm to the bite and the risotto is creamy. When you think it may be done, taste a few grains. If not ready, test again in a minute or so. If the broth runs out before the rice is tender, use hot water. Cooking time will be 18 to 20 minutes. 6 Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and the cheese. Taste for seasoning. Serve immediately.

RISOTTO CON RADICCHIO, GORGONZOLA, NOCI, E CREMA DI BALSAMICO



Risotto Con Radicchio, Gorgonzola, Noci, e Crema di Balsamico image

This is a true Italian winter favorite. The flavor and texture combination is enjoyable due to the tangy flavor of the Gorgonzola, sweetness of the walnuts, and the slight bitterness of the radicchio. The balsamic glaze simply takes it over the top! Buon appetito! This is excellent served with salmon.

RISOTTO WITH RADICCHIO



Risotto With Radicchio image

Provided by Marian Burros

Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 25m

Yield 2 large servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 to 5 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup chopped onion
3/4 pound radicchio
1 cup arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 ounces ( 1/2 cup) freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot.
  • Put the broth on to heat in a separate pot.
  • Saute the onion in the oil until it takes on a little color.
  • Meanwhile wash the radicchio and cut off core.
  • Add the rice to the onion and stir until it is well coated.
  • Add the wine to rice and onion and stir; let the wine cook away, about 2 minutes, stirring.
  • Shred the radicchio with a knife.
  • Add about a cup of simmering chicken broth to rice and cook over high heat, stirring very often until broth has evaporated. Repeat the procedure, this time adding the shredded radicchio. Continue adding broth and stirring, cooking until broth evaporates. You may not need all the broth to cook the rice.
  • Meanwhile finely grate the cheese.
  • When rice is tender and there is still enough broth left in the rice to make it slightly runny, add the cheese, stirring well, season with pepper and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the risotto will be. Use fresh, flavorful vegetables, a good quality red wine, and a creamy, nutty cheese.
  • Toast the rice before cooking. This will help to develop the flavor of the rice and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the risotto from sticking.
  • Cook the risotto over medium heat. This will help to prevent the rice from overcooking and becoming mushy.
  • Add the liquid gradually. This will help to prevent the risotto from becoming too soupy or too dry.
  • Stir the risotto constantly. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Add the cheese and butter at the end of cooking. This will help to create a creamy, flavorful sauce.
  • Serve the risotto immediately. Risotto is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Radicchio and red wine risotto is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is made with fresh, flavorful ingredients and is sure to impress your guests. With a little care and attention, you can easily make this dish at home.
