Risotto With Parmigiano-Reggiano in a Crock Pot image

Inspired by a favorite dish at a Scottsdale, AZ restaurant. It's the Basil Olive Oil used in the dish that makes it so yummy. I love Risotto but oh, the stirring and stirring... Here is a crockpot version that works great!! This recipe works as a terrific side dish but you can add other items to make it a complete meal in itself, such as shrimp etc.. I hope some of you will attempt this version.

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup basil olive oil, plus
little extra basil olive oil
2 shallots, peeled and minced
1 1/4 cups arborio rice
1/4 cup dry white wine
3 3/4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup of freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese, pricy but worth it (this is a must)

Steps:

  • Heat the basil oil in a saute pan over medium heat and saute the shallots until they have softened.
  • Lightly coat the insert of crock pot with some extra basil olive oil.
  • Add the sauted shallots and basil oil to the crockpot insert.
  • Add the rice and coat it with the mixture.
  • Stir in the wine.
  • Stir in the chicken broth.
  • Add the salt.
  • Cover and cook on high for about 2 hours or until all the liquid is absorbed.
  • Just before serving, stir in the cheese.
  • Have extra grated cheese to put on top of each serving.
  • If I was going to add shrimp, chicken, corn, salmon etc.
  • ,I would add it after the cheese had been stirred in, allowing just enough time to warm up the item but not to overcook it.
