Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the artichoke hearts and reduce the heat to medium high. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, or until the hearts are beginning to brown. Remove to a plate and set aside.
- To the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the butter and the shallots and cook for 1 minute, stirring regularly. Add the rice and salt and stir with a wooden spoon to coat all the kernels with oil. Continue to cook for 3 minutes, or until the rice is sizzling. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until it is almost completely absorbed. Now begin adding the chicken broth, one cup at a time, stirring frequently between additions. After the first cup is almost entirely absorbed, add the next cup. Continue in this way until the rice is cooked through and you have a creamy risotto, about 20 minutes in all. (The risotto should be slightly loose, not dry; it should run off your spoon. If it gets too dry, add a bit more broth.) Stir in the peas, feta, chives, mint and black pepper. Gently stir in the artichoke hearts and the lemon juice. Serve.
TOFU RISOTTO
This risotto is a real comfort food. Tofu has a quite bland taste, but I particularly love the texture of it. In this dish the tofu absorbs all the rich tastes of wine, parmesan cheese and garlic!

Steps:
- Melt butter and oil in large frying pan, cook onions until translucent, add mushrooms saute until golden, add garlic saute for another minute, salt and pepper to taste,set aside.
- In same frying pan, saute tofu until golden on all sides, you might want to add more olive oil and butter. The reason why you shouldent use the Mori-Nu Tofu is because even the extra firm one is too soft and will fall apart!
- Add arborio rice to the tofu and start adding the chicken stock with the wine one cup at a time until all liquids are absorbed. Continue stirring and adding stock and wine until the rice is tender and add the frozen peas, add salt, pepper and thyme. This step should take approximately 20 minutes.
- Finally stir in parmesan cheese (only fresh parmesan should be used for this recipe!) until it melts and risotto becomes creamy.
- Serve piping hot -- enjoy!

Steps:
- Squeeze the lemons into a bowl and add 2 cups of water.
- Trim the artichokes down to the fleshy bottoms by slicing off the stem, pulling off all the leaves and cutting away the fuzzy choke. Trim the artichoke bottom. Dice the bottoms as they are trimmed and place in the bowl of lemon-water.
- Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan. Add the onion, saute until it begins to color and stir in the garlic. Drain the artichokes and add them. Stir in the wine. Cover the saucepan and cook until the artichokes are nearly tender, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the rice, then add 1/2 cup of the stock. Stir. Continue adding stock, 1/2 cup at a time as each portion is absorbed. Adjust heat so the mixture simmers gently. Stir from time to time as the stock is added. After about 20 minutes all or nearly all the stock should have been added and the rice should be firm but tender, without a hard white center in the grain.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat, fold in the cheese and parsley and serve.

ARTICHOKE RISOTTO
A vegetarian and vegan favorite that can be served as a side dish or entree. Another great recipe adapted from a weight loss tracking website. NOTE: Carnaroli rice is a popular Italian rice used specifically for risotto's. Coming from the Arborio rice family the grain is larger and can absorb more liquid than other rices. You can find this rice in Italian markets or specialty foods in your local grocery stores.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before starting, measure and prepare all ingredients. This will make the cooking process smoother and easier.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the risotto from sticking.
- Toast the rice: This step helps to develop the flavor of the risotto and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Cook the risotto in stages: Add the liquid in small increments, stirring constantly. This will help the rice to absorb the liquid evenly and prevent it from becoming gummy.
- Stir the risotto frequently: This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot and will also help to create a creamy texture.
- Season the risotto to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste before serving.
- Serve the risotto immediately: Risotto is best enjoyed fresh and hot.
