Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

7 cups homemade chicken stock (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large shallot, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 bay leaves
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups arborio rice (see Cook's Note)
1 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish

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.

RISOTTO CON RADICCHIO, GORGONZOLA, NOCI, E CREMA DI BALSAMICO



Risotto Con Radicchio, Gorgonzola, Noci, e Crema di Balsamico image

This is a true Italian winter favorite. The flavor and texture combination is enjoyable due to the tangy flavor of the Gorgonzola, sweetness of the walnuts, and the slight bitterness of the radicchio. The balsamic glaze simply takes it over the top! Buon appetito! This is excellent served with salmon.

Time 47m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 quart vegetable stock, or as needed
¼ cup olive oil, divided
½ carrot, minced
½ stalk celery, minced
2 tablespoons minced onion
¾ cup Arborio rice
2 tablespoons red wine
1 head radicchio, thinly sliced
3 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, cut into cubes
⅓ cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (reduced balsamic vinegar)
2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Bring vegetable stock to a boil in a saucepan; reduce heat to low and keep simmering.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a stockpot over medium heat; cook and stir carrot, celery, and onion until onion is translucent, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil; stir in rice. Cook and stir until rice is coated with oil and warm, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in red wine and stir until rice is coated and wine is absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Pour 1 ladleful of warm vegetable stock into the rice mixture; cook, stirring continuously, until stock is absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes. Continue adding stock, 1 ladleful at a time, cooking and stirring after each addition until liquid is absorbed and risotto is easily broken when chewed, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Stir radicchio, Gorgonzola cheese, and walnuts into risotto until cheese is completely melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add more stock and cook until risotto is tender yet firm to the bite, about 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and cover stockpot for 1 minute.
  • Spoon risotto onto plates and top with balsamic glaze and Parmigiano-Reggiano.
