RISOTTO WITH PARMIGIANO-REGGIANO IN A CROCK POT



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.

CROCKPOT APPLE RISOTTO

This is one of my favorite recipes for the crock pot, and it is unbelievably simple and delicious. No endless stirring for this risotto! I really enjoy it topped with dried cranberries and slivered almonds. Repost from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POG6wz4A_zU

Time 2h40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups diced granny smith apples
4 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
4 cups apple juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups long grain rice

Steps:

  • Dice/mince the apples and sweat them in a skillet along with the butter, cinnamon, allspice, and salt until they release their juices (3-5 min or so). I like to use my food processor for this step, so they're more minced than diced.
  • Depending on your crockpot, you may want to coat it in a nonstick spray.
  • Mix everything together in the crock put, set on high, and let cook for 2.5-3 hours or until all the liquid is gone.
