Decidedly southwestern flavors and colors punctuate this creamy, easy-to-make rice dish. (Adapted from Lorna Sass' Complete Vegetarian Kitchen.)

Categories     Risotto     Corn     Roasted     Peppers     Arborio     rice     cilantro     parsley

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tbsp. olive oil
1 large onion or 1 leek (white part only)
1 large garlic clove
1 1/2 tsp. cumin seeds
1 1/2 c. arborio rice
1 1/2 c. fresh whole-kernel corn (from 2 or more large ears of corn)
2 1/2 c. vegetable stock
1 tsp. sea salt (less if using salted stock)
2 large sweet red or green peppers
c. fresh cilantro or parsley leaves
ground black pepper
1 sprig Fresh flat-leaf parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • In 4- or 6-quart cooker, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and cumin, sauté for 1 minute. Stir in rice, thoroughly coating it with oil.
  • Stir in corn, 3 1/2 cups of stock, and the salt. Lock lid into place, heat to high pressure over high heat. Reduce heat to just enough to maintain high pressure and cook 5 minutes. Reduce pressure using quick-release method (see "Releasing Pressure"). Remove lid, opening it away from you, to allow any remaining steam to escape.
  • 3. Because rice will continue to absorb liquid at this point, risotto should be slightly soupy, if necessary, stir in more stock. Stir in sweet peppers, cilantro, and black pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until rice is al dente (tender but chewy) and ingredients are thoroughly heated -- about 5 minutes. Transfer to serving dish and garnish with parsley, if desired. Serve immediately in shallow soup bowls. Note: To roast peppers, set them on grate covering gas burner, turn flame to high and heat peppers, turning often, until completely blackened. (Or split peppers and place, skin side up, on baking sheet under broiler until blackened.) Place peppers in paper bag, close tightly, and let steam 15 minutes. Remove peppers from bag and peel off skin, occasionally dipping in bowl of water to wash. Quarter peppers and remove seeds.

WILD RICE AND ARBORIO RISOTTO WITH CORN AND RED PEPPER



Wild Rice and Arborio Risotto With Corn and Red Pepper image

Though chefs these days get away with calling all sorts of grainy dishes risottos, the finished products often lack the creamy texture that makes classic risottos so appealing. But that creamy texture is possible if whole grains are cooked separately and combined with some arborio rice, the traditional risotto rice. Wild rice and corn contribute a New World character to this multicolored, multitextured risotto. The dish is delicious with or without the cheese.

Categories     dinner, side dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup wild rice (3 cups cooked)
6 cups chicken or vegetable stock
2 ears corn
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup minced onion
Salt to taste
1 red bell pepper, cut in small dice
2/3 cup arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine, like pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 to 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (1 to 2 ounces) (optional)

Steps:

  • To cook the wild rice, bring 3 1/2 cups of the stock to boil in a medium saucepan. Add salt to taste and the wild rice. When the water returns to the boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 40 to 45 minutes, until the rice is tender and has begun to splay. Drain and transfer the rice to a large bowl.
  • Put the remaining 2 1/2 cups stock into a saucepan and bring it to a simmer over low heat, with a ladle nearby. Cut the kernels off the cobs and add the cobs to the stock. Cover and simmer 20 minutes. Remove the corncobs from the stock. Taste the stock and make sure that it is well seasoned.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a wide, heavy nonstick skillet or saucepan. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt, and cook gently until it is just tender, about 3 minutes. Add the red pepper and continue to cook, stirring often, for another 5 minutes, until tender.
  • Add the arborio rice 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, adding more stock and stirring when the rice is almost dry. You do not have to stir constantly, but stir often. After 10 minutes, stir in the corn kernels and continue to add stock and stir the rice until the rice is tender all the way through but still chewy, about 10 more minutes. Add another ladleful of stock and stir in the wild rice and thyme. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Add pepper, taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Add another ladleful of stock to the rice. Stir in the Parmesan if using and remove from the heat. Serve right away in wide soup bowls or on plates.

RED PEPPER RISOTTO



Red Pepper Risotto image

As this stunning risotto simmers, it takes on a beautiful red hue from the peppers. If you choose to use the saffron the risotto will have an added dimension of flavor and an even more beautiful color.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 to 7 cups chicken or vegetable stock
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion or shallot
2 plump garlic cloves, minced
2 large red peppers, finely diced
Salt to taste
1 1/2 cups arborio or carnaroli rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
A generous pinch of saffron threads (optional)
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or a mixture of parsley and thyme
2 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated (1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Bring the stock to a simmer in a saucepan, with a ladle nearby. Season generously with salt.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large, wide, heavy skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add the onions or shallots. Cook gently until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, peppers, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the peppers are limp and fragrant, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the rice and stir over medium heat until the grains are separate and beginning to crackle, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the wine and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. The wine should bubble, but not too quickly. You want some of the flavor to cook into the rice before it evaporates. When the wine has just about evaporated, stir in a ladleful or two of the simmering stock (about 1/2 cup), enough to just cover the rice. The stock should bubble slowly (adjust heat accordingly). Rub the saffron threads between your fingers and add to the rice. Cook, stirring often, until the stock is just about absorbed. Add another ladleful or two of the stock and continue to cook in this fashion, not too fast and not too slowly, stirring often and adding more stock when the rice is almost dry, for 25 minutes, until the rice is cooked through but still a little chewy. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • When the rice is cooked through, add a generous amount of freshly ground pepper, and stir in another half cup of stock, the Parmesan and the herbs. Remove from the heat. The rice should be creamy; if it isn't, add a little more stock. Stir once, taste and adjust seasonings, and serve.
