Categories     weekday, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds fava beans
4 artichokes
Juice of 1 lemon
6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 shallots, minced
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
2/3 cup of dry white wine
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup of grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Remove the fava beans from the pods and peel the skins off the beans. Set them aside. Cut the top third from the artichokes. Cut the chokes into quarters and remove the choke with a sharp knife. Squeeze the juice of the lemon into a bowl of cold water and add the artichoke quarters as they are peeled. This will prevent them from turning brown.
  • Bring the chicken or vegetable broth to simmer.
  • Heat the butter in a large skillet and saute the shallots until they are soft. Slice the artichoke quarters and add them. Saute them lightly, then add the rice and saute, stirring, until it turns opaque.
  • Add the wine and let it reduce. Add one cup of hot chicken stock and mix it in so the rice absorbs it. As the liquid is absorbed, add more. Season with salt and pepper to taste. After 10 minutes of cooking, add the fava beans. Continue adding liquid and stir for about 20 minutes all told, or until the rice is al dente. The liquid should be absorbed and the rice creamy. Stir in the cheese, cover for a minute or two, then serve, with extra cheese passed separately.

This risotto was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit too time-consuming for a weeknight meal. The risotto took a long time to cook and the artichokes were a bit fiddly to prepare. However, the end result was delicious and I would definitely make it again for a special oc

Not a fan of this recipe. The risotto was too mushy and the artichokes were tough. I think I'll stick to my usual risotto recipe.

This risotto was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning or a more flavorful broth. The artichokes and fava beans were good, but the overall dish was just okay.
