Best 5 Risotto With Slow Roasted Tomatoes Recipes

RISOTTO WITH SLOW-ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300. Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet, cut side up. Brush with olive oil, scatter a few slivers of garlic on each, season with salt and pepper and place a piece of thyme sprig on top of each. Bake 3 hours. Discard thyme. Chop tomatoes and garlic.
• Place a 3-quart saucepan on medium heat, add pancetta and cook until fat starts to render and pancetta barely begins to brown. Add onion and sauté until soft but not brown. Stir in rice and cook a couple of minutes, until grains whiten a bit. Place stock in a separate saucepan on very low heat.
• Add wine to rice and onions, stir and cook just until it is absorbed. Start adding warm stock, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring and adding more as it is absorbed. When 3 cups of the stock have been used, fold in tomatoes and sage. Season with salt and pepper. Risotto should be almost al dente. Continue cooking about 5 minutes more, adding a little more stock or some water if needed until rice is just done. Divide among 4 to 6 warm plates, top each with cheese and serve.

ROASTED TOMATO RISOTTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
• With a knife, cut the cores out of the tomatoes, then place cut side down in a snug-fitting baking dish with the whole garlic bulb, and scatter over the thyme sprigs.
• Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil, season with sea salt, and roast for 1 hour, or until starting to burst open (the juices will add game-changing flavour later on).
• Bring the stock to a simmer. Peel and finely chop the onion and fennel, reserving any herby tops, then place in a large, high-sided pan on a medium heat with 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 knob of butter.
• Cook for 10 minutes, or until softened but not coloured, stirring occasionally, then stir in the rice to toast for 2 minutes. Pour in the vermouth and stir until absorbed.
• Add a ladleful of stock and wait until it's been fully absorbed before adding another, stirring constantly and adding ladlefuls of stock until the rice is cooked - it will need 16 to 18 minutes.
• Beat in the remaining knob of butter, finely grate and beat in the Parmesan, then season to perfection and turn the heat off. Cover the pan and leave to relax for 2 minutes so the risotto becomes creamy and oozy.
• Divide the risotto between warm plates, place a tomato in the centre with a little sweet garlic and the herby fennel tops, then drizzle over the tasty tomato juices.

ROASTED TOMATO RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it slides easily across pan bottom. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 15 minutes. Add rice, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring, until rice is heated through and slightly translucent, about 1 minute.
• Add enough stock to almost cover rice, about 2 cups. Simmer, stirring frequently, until rice has absorbed stock, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, garlic, and another cup of stock. Cook, stirring, until rice looks dry, then add another cup of stock. Continue gradually adding stock, cooking, and stirring, until rice is tender and creamy, about 25 minutes. Stir in butter and cheese, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
• Rinse chicken bones or chicken parts well. Remove the fat and skin if any, and place into a pot with just enough hot water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and let boil for about 2 minutes. Drain the chicken and discard the water (this will not remove flavor, just the blood and much of the coagulated proteins that cause scum). Return the chicken to the pot, cover with fresh water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and gently simmer stock for about 1 hour, skimming whenever fat or scum accumulates on the surface. Add more hot water, if necessary, to keep the level consistent.
• After 1 hour simmering, add onion, carrot, celery, leeks, bay leaf, and peppercorns. Simmer for 15 minutes. Add parsley and thyme and simmer for an additional 15 minutes. Take pot off heat and strain stock. Cool, and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 4 months.
• Yield: approximately 12 cups stock
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut tomatoes in half cross-wise (through the equator), then place tomatoes, garlic cloves, and olive oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix gently. Line 2 large, rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Place tomato halves on baking sheets, cut side down, and pour any olive oil left in bowl over them. Divide garlic and thyme evenly between baking sheets. Bake until tomato skins loosen, about 20 minutes.
• Remove and discard tomato skins. Pour any juices that have accumulated into a bowl and reserve. Return tomatoes to oven and reduce temperature to 275 degrees. Continue roasting, periodically pouring off and reserving juices, until tomatoes are slightly shrunken and appear cooked and concentrated but not yet dry, 3 or 4 hours more.
• Remove tomatoes from oven and allow them to cool on baking sheets. Discard thyme. Transfer tomatoes and garlic to separate containers. Store tomatoes, garlic cloves, and reserved tomato juices in refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
• Yield: 40 roasted tomato halves, approximately 20 roasted garlic cloves, and 1 to 3 cups roasted tomato juice
• Colicchio: "A white chicken stock is the first step toward making brown chicken stock; it also has many uses of its own."
• "Roasting intensifies the flavor of even less-than-spectacular tomatoes, in case local greenmarket varieties are unavailable...The leftover roasted garlic, incidentally, has a creamy, mellow flavor not found in the raw vegetable and makes a great spread on a piece of crusty bread."

TOMATO RISOTTO

Steps:

• Put 3 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, then add the onion, and season generously with salt. Add pepper to taste, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the rice and cook the onions, stirring, until the onions are barely brown, about 2 minutes. Add red-pepper flakes, garlic, white wine and diced tomatoes, and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes more.
• Add 2 cups boiling water and adjust the heat to a brisk simmer. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring well with a wooden spoon every minute or so.
• When the liquid is absorbed, add remaining 1 cup water and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, until the rice is cooked, but the grains are still firm. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding another splash of water if necessary to loosen the mixture. Turn off the heat, stir in the pecorino and 2 more tablespoons olive oil.
• Transfer to a low, wide serving bowl. Surround the rice with tomato slices and season them with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley and basil. Pass more grated cheese at the table.

GARLIC AND ROASTED TOMATO RISOTTO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C.
• Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.
• Place the cherry tomato halves in a single layer on lined tray.
• Place garlic on tray.
• Drizzle the tomatoes with 1 tsp of the oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Roast tomatoes and garlic in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until tomatoes shrivel around edges and garlic is soft.
• Remove from oven and squeeze garlic from skin, chop roughly and place in a small bowl.
• Set aside.
• Bring the stock just to the boil in a saucepan.
• Reduce heat and hold the stock at a gentle simmer.
• Heat remaining oil in a medium heavy-based saucepan over medium heat.
• Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes or until onion is soft and light golden.
• Add the rice and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until lightly coated with oil.
• Add a ladleful of the simmering stock to the rice and use a wooden spoon to stir constantly over medium-low heat until the liquid is completely absorbed.
• Continue to add the stock, a small ladleful (about ¼ cup) at a time, stirring constantly, and allow liquid to be absorbed before adding the next ladleful.
• Cook until rice is tender yet firm to the bite and risotto is creamy.
• Start tasting after about 15 minutes- it will probably take about 20-25 minutes to cook and should be moist and creamy when finished.
• Remove the risotto from the heat and add the garlic, basil and parmesan, and stir gently to combine.
• Taste and season with salt (if needed) and pepper.
• Add the tomatoes and fold through the rice gently.
• Spoon into serving bowls and serve immediately sprinkled with a little extra pepper.
