ARUGULA RISOTTO

Peppery arugula is the ideal foil for creamy Arborio or Carnaroli rice in this side dish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains     Rice Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 to 3 1/2 quarts (12 to 14 cups) homemade or low-sodium canned (6 14 1/2-ounce cans) chicken stock
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 shallots, minced
3 cups Arborio or Carnaroli rice
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for serving
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Arugula Puree
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Arugula flowers, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring chicken stock to a simmer in a large stockpot over medium heat; cover, and keep at a steady simmer until ready to use. At the same time, heat oil in a large heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots to oil; cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are softened and translucent, about 10 minutes. Add rice, and cook, stirring constantly, until rice is thoroughly coated and makes a clicking noise, 3 to 4 minutes. Add wine; cook, stirring constantly, until wine is completely absorbed.
  • Using a ladle, add about 1 1/2 cups hot stock to the rice; cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until most of liquid has been absorbed and mixture is just thick enough to leave a clear trail behind the spoon. Add another 3/4 cup hot stock to rice; cook, stirring constantly, until most of liquid is absorbed.
  • Continue adding stock 3/4 cup at a time, stirring constantly after each addition, until the rice is mostly translucent but still opaque in the center, and the liquid is the consistency of heavy cream, 20 to 25 minutes. The rice should be al dente but no longer crunchy. Watch carefully, and gradually reduce the amount of added liquid to make sure the mixture does not overcook; it will continue to thicken after it is removed from heat.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in butter, cheese, and arugula puree; season with salt and pepper. To serve, mound risotto in the center of shallow serving bowls, and sprinkle with additional cheese. Garnish with arugula flowers, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice: Use a short-grain rice like Arborio or Carnaroli, which are specifically designed for risotto and will give you the creamy texture you're looking for.
  • Toast the rice: Toasting the rice in butter or oil before adding the liquid helps to develop its flavor and prevent it from sticking together.
  • Add the liquid gradually: Don't add all of the liquid at once. Instead, add it in small increments, stirring constantly, to allow the rice to absorb the liquid and cook evenly.
  • Stir, stir, stir: Stirring the risotto constantly helps to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan and ensures that it cooks evenly.
  • Add the shrimp and arugula at the end: The shrimp and arugula should be added towards the end of the cooking process to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Season to taste: Taste the risotto before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Conclusion:

Risotto with arugula and shrimp is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With its creamy texture, flavorful rice, and tender shrimp, this risotto is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give this one a try - you won't be disappointed!
