Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 cups unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and beans scraped
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups Arborio rice
4 ounces white chocolate, chopped
1/8 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup blackberries
4 ounces unsweetened dark chocolate, grated, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring the almond milk, sugar and vanilla beans and pod to a simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. Remove the pod and keep the milk warm while you prepare the risotto.
  • Heat the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the rice and stir with a wooden spoon to coat evenly with the butter. Lower the heat to medium low and begin adding the milk 1 cup at a time, stirring often and allowing each addition of milk to be absorbed before adding the next. Be sure to run the spoon along the bottom of the pan to ensure the risotto doesn't stick or burn. Cook until the rice is tender but still firm, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the white chocolate and salt.
  • Serve warm, garnished with the blackberries and a sprinkling of grated dark chocolate.

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup risotto rice, unrinsed (Arborio or vialone nano are good choices)

Proper risotto in the Italian-style can take a really long time to make. Here's a clever shortcut to truly stellar risotto; use a pressure cooker! This is the best risotto I've ever tasted, and it was improvised by my wife Amanda from scratch. I forced her to write down the recipe. And here it is, so the entire world can enjoy the sheer brilliance of great risotto in a fraction of the normal time. Don't say I never told you how awesome this stuff is.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups vegetable broth
1 pinch saffron
1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
¼ cup olive oil, divided
1 red onion, chopped
1 cup Arborio rice
3 tablespoons chopped garlic
⅓ cup white wine
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups water
8 ounces uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

Steps:

  • Stir vegetable broth and saffron together in a bowl.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil; add dried porcini mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are reconstituted, about 1 1/2 minutes. Drain and finely chop the mushrooms.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Saute onion in hot oil until onion is caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add rice; saute until rice is translucent, about 2 minutes more. Add garlic and 1 tablespoon olive oil to onion and saute until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer rice mixture to a stainless steel bowl that can fit inside the pressure cooker. Stir vegetable broth with saffron, mushrooms, wine, and salt into rice mixture and toss to combine. Cover the bowl with aluminum foil.
  • Pour 2 cups of water into the bottom of the pressure cooker and place the pressure cooker's metal rack in the base for steaming. Place bowl with rice mixture on top of the metal rack in the pressure cooker.
  • Cover the pressure cooker with the lid, lock the lid, bring the cooker to high pressure, and cook under pressure for 6 minutes. Release pressure from the pot according to the manufacturer's instructions. Remove bowl with risotto from pressure cooker.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over high heat. Saute shrimp in hot oil until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir shrimp into risotto.

WHITE CHOCOLATE RISOTTO



White Chocolate Risotto image

This is a devilish dessert risotto. It is very similar to rice pudding, only made on the stove top. Adapted from Michael Chiarello at Food Network. If wanted, you can substitute other types of chocolate, or even layer different flavors, but I've found I like white chocolate best. This is delicious both warm and cold.

RISOTTO ALLA MILANESE



Risotto alla Milanese image

Typical Italian risotto as the tradition of my city wants it. Directly from Milano I send you this wonderful recipe!

Provided by Manuela

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the risotto will taste. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Toast the rice before cooking. This will help to develop the rice's flavor and give the risotto a slightly nutty taste.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth is the backbone of the risotto, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is flavorful and has a deep color.
  • Cook the risotto slowly and stir it often. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan and will also help to develop the risotto's creamy texture.
  • Don't overcook the rice. The rice should be cooked al dente, which means it should still have a slight bite to it.
  • Add the mascarpone cheese and chocolate just before serving. This will help to keep the cheese from curdling and the chocolate from melting too much.

Conclusion:

Chocolate risotto is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a chocolate risotto that is sure to impress your friends and family.
