Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Rice     Risotto Recipes

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ¾ cups uncooked Arborio rice
½ cup unsalted butter, divided
1 ½ quarts beef stock
3 tablespoons beef marrow
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon saffron powder
¾ cup dry white wine
salt to taste
1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Melt half of the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Simmer the onion and beef marrow in the butter for about 10 minutes. When the onion is soft, remove the onion and marrow from the pan using a slotted spoon, and set aside. (I like to leave the onions in.)
  • Saute the rice in the pan over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Stir constantly so the rice will not stick and burn. Stir in one ladle of beef stock, and keep stirring until it is mostly absorbed, ladling and stirring in more of the broth as well as the white wine in the same manner, until the rice is almost al dente. Stir in the saffron, remaining butter, and 3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Turn off the heat, cover and let sit for 4 or 5 minutes.
  • Serve as a bed for ossibuchi or by itself with as much of the remaining Parmesan cheese sprinkled over as you like.

RISOTTO AL SALTO



Risotto al Salto image

The Italian kitchen is famous for superior ingredients, and for letting nothing go to waste. This recipe for risotto al salto, which uses leftover, day-old risotto, is a perfect example: You start with a creamy, well-made saffron risotto, then make a crispy delicious cake from it the next day. I'm not the first to notice that many people make more risotto than they need just so they can have extras for this golden perfection the next day.

Time 1h

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon saffron threads
Kosher salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small white onion, minced (about 1/2 cup)
1 cup carnaroli or arborio rice
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan (use a Microplane)
6 tablespoons clarified butter

Steps:

  • Bring the stock to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Add the saffron threads and a healthy pinch of salt, and continue to simmer, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, melt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter in a large enameled or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the onions and sweat them, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Add the rice, and stir to coat with the onion-butter mixture, then add the wine, and continue to stir until the wine is evaporated, about 1 minute.
  • Add 2 cups of the warm saffron-chicken stock, and stir continuously until nearly all the stock is absorbed into the rice, 13 to 15 minutes. Continue adding about 1/2 cup of stock at a time, stirring constantly until the stock is absorbed into the rice before adding more, until the rice is creamy and tender yet still al dente, about 18 minutes total. (You may not need to use all of the stock.)
  • Remove the risotto from the heat, stir in the Parmesan and the remaining 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, then season to taste with salt. Transfer to a lidded container, and refrigerate overnight.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons clarified butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low. Add the chilled risotto, and shape into a thick, even pancake using a heatproof rubber spatula. Cook over medium-low heat, swirling the pan often to prevent the rice from sticking, until the underside is lightly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes.
  • Gently shake and swirl the pan to make sure the risotto pancake isn't sticking at all and remains intact. Carefully slide it out onto a large round plate big enough to accommodate it. Invert another plate on top of the risotto pancake, and quickly flip the plates so that the crispy side of the rice is now facing up. Remove the top plate.
  • Add the remaining 3 tablespoons clarified butter to the skillet, and carefully slide the rice into the pan, crispy-side up. Cook over medium heat, and continue swirling the skillet until the bottom side is crispy and lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Carefully pour off and discard any extra clarified butter, and gently slide the risotto pancake onto a warm serving plate.

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup arborio rice
4 cups of milk
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Similar to a regular risotto process, melt the unsalted butter in a hot pan and add the rice. Stir for about a minute or until the rice is translucent. Pour a cup of milk into the pan and stir until the milk reduces. Add the sugar and stir continuously. As the milk evaporates, add another 1/2 a cup of milk to the rice and continue stirring.

  • Serve the dessert immediately in cups and finish with a sprinkle of walnuts on top.

Tomato Risotto (Risotto Al Pomodoro) image

This is a favorite around our place. Best when you can use fresh sun-ripened tomatoes with lots of flavor and nice red color. Requires lots of hands-on time, but definitely worth it. This comes from a cookbook called "Risotto" which contains all vegetarian recipes.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality Cabernet Sauvignon wine. A full-bodied wine with good tannins will add depth and flavor to the risotto.
  • Toast the rice before adding the wine. This will help to develop the rice's flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Add the wine in small increments, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the rice from clumping together.
  • Cook the risotto over medium heat, stirring frequently. This will help to ensure that the rice cooks evenly and doesn't stick to the pan.
  • Add the cheese and butter at the end of cooking. This will help to create a creamy, flavorful risotto.
  • Serve the risotto immediately. It is best enjoyed when it is hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Risotto al Cabernet is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of Cabernet Sauvignon wine, cheese, and butter creates a rich and flavorful risotto that is sure to impress your guests.
