Best Ades Meat Risotto Recipes

GROUND BEEF RISOTTO

Steps:

• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef, onion, garlic and pepper over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is thoroughly cooked; drain if desired. Stir in rice; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Stir in broth; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; simmer 10 minutes.
• Stir in carrot. Cook uncovered 5 to 7 minutes longer or until liquid is absorbed.
• Remove skillet from heat. Stir in cheese. Cover; let stand 3 minutes. Sprinkle with chives.

RISOTTO WITH GROUND MEAT AND VEG

Steps:

• Add the chicken stock to a pot, season well with salt and pepper and heat until hot. Keep warm.
• Meanwhile, heat a large round saucepan over medium heat and add the oil. When hot, add the sausage and cook, without stirring, until brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon.
• Add the onions and sweat for 1 minute. Add the rice, toss to combine, and lightly toast in the fat. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until the wine is absorbed.
• Add 1 cup of the stock and cook, stirring, until the stock is absorbed. Continue to add the stock 1 cup at a time and cook, stirring after each addition until absorbed, until the rice is al dente, about 20 minutes. Add the peas. Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan, parsley and butter.

THE BEST RISOTTO

Steps:

• Warm the chicken stock in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, cover and keep warm while you make the risotto.
• Heat the olive oil in another medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the shallot, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 10 grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the bay leaves and 3 tablespoons butter, stirring until the butter has melted, about 1 minute.
• Add the rice and toast, stirring only once, until it smells nutty and starts to turn light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Pour in the wine and simmer, stirring occasionally, until it has evaporated completely, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Ladle one cup of the warm stock into the rice and cook, stirring gently without stopping, until the rice has absorbed the liquid, 2 to 3 minutes (you will know it's time to add more stock when you move the rice aside and no liquid pools in the center).
• Repeat this process, adding more stock a ladleful at a time, until the rice is al dente, 17 to 19 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. (You may have a little stock left over. If so, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.) If you prefer your risotto on the saucier side, add more stock 1/4 cup at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
• Stir in the Parmesan, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon salt and a few more grinds of black pepper and serve with more Parmesan, if desired.

BEEF RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Gently fry the onion for 3 minutes, or until softened.
• Add the garlic, and fry for 1 minute.
• Turn up the heat and add the mince, browning it, which should take 5 minutes.
• Lower the heat to medium and stir in the rice.
• Pour in the passata and sprinkle in the oregano.
• Stir and let the risotto simmer gently for 5 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed.
• Add 125ml (¼ cup) of beef stock to the risotto, and keep stirring until the stock disappears. Repeat until you've used up all the stock.
• By this time, the meat should be cooked through. The rice shouldn't be dry but should rather have a sloppiness to it. If the rice is still not quite cooked, add a splash of extra stock or water and keep stirring until the rice is cooked to your liking.
• [Optional] Stir in the sugar.
• Melt the mozzarella into the risotto to add some stringy goodness to the risotto. Alternatively, serve as a topping along with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy!
