Provided by Aubrey W.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium shallot, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups Arborio rice
½ cup white wine
3 ½ cups hot chicken broth
½ pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 teaspoons olive oil, or as needed
¾ cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or more to taste
4 slices prosciutto, diced
1 small bunch fresh parsley, chopped
½ medium lemon, zested

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and butter in a 12- to 14-inch skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and cook until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add rice; cook and stir with a wooden spoon until toasted and opaque, about 4 minutes.
  • Add wine and let it reduce for 2 minutes. Add one ladle of chicken broth; cook and stir until it's all absorbed. Continue adding one ladle at a time, cooking and stirring until broth is absorbed before adding the next ladle. When finished, rice will be creamy and tender yet firm to the bite. Stirring in the broth should take 15 to 20 minutes in all.
  • Meanwhile, season shrimp with salt and pepper.
  • Heat remaining olive oil in a skillet; add shrimp and saute just until they turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes; they will not be fully cooked. Remove from the heat.
  • When the risotto is finished, stir in shrimp, spinach, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, prosciutto, parsley, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper and cook until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with more Parmesan cheese.

Spinach and Lemon Risotto image

Provided by Chuck Hughes

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

4 cups Chuck's veal stock, recipe follows or low-sodium chicken stock
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups Arborio rice
1/4 cup butter
1 cup grated Kefalotyri cheese
1 cup cubed feta cheese, plus more for garnish
4 cups spinach
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon canola oil
12 large shrimp, cleaned and de-veined, tail intact
2 tablespoons ouzo
2 tablespoons butter
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
8 meaty veal bones
3 tablespoons (45 ml) canola oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon (15 ml) tomato paste
1 head garlic
6 carrots
2 onions
4 stalks celery
2 large leeks
4 sprigs fresh thyme
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 large sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
17 cups water

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, bring the stock to a simmer over medium-low heat.
  • In a large saucepan, cook the onion in oil over medium-low heat, stirring, until softened, for about 5 minutes. Add rice, stirring until each grain is coated with oil. Add about 3/4 cup simmering stock and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the stock is absorbed. Continue adding stock, 3/4 cup at a time, still stirring constantly and letting each batch be absorbed before adding the next, until about 1/2 of the stock is remaining. Reduce the heat to moderate, if necessary to keep the risotto at a simmer. Continue adding the stock in the same manner until the rice is tender and creamy looking but still al dente, about 20 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low, add the butter then the cheeses. Mix well. Add the spinach and the lemon juice and continue mixing. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
  • In a heavy-bottomed frying pan, heat the canola oil and saute the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and immediately add the ouzo and light it. Let the flame subside. Season the shrimp with salt, and pepper, and set aside.
  • Garnish each portion of the risotto with grilled shrimp, parsley, lemon zest, and feta cheese.
  • To make veal stock:
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Remove meat from bones where possible and cut into 1-inch pieces. If using breast bones, cut apart. In roasting pan, arrange bones and meat in 1 layer, drizzle with oil, season with salt, and pepper and roast in lower part of the oven, stirring half way in between until bones are golden brown, 40 minutes to 1 hour depending on the size of the bones. Add the tomato paste by spooning it over the bones. Add the vegetables and put it in the oven for an additional hour.
  • Into a large stockpot, add bones, meat, roasted vegetables, herbs, and 16 cups (4 L) water. Discard fat from roasting pan. Place tray back onto the stovetop. Heat on medium for about 1 minute then remove. Immediately add 1/2 cup to 1 cup water to the pan, scraping up brown bits, put the tray back on heat and then add the deglazed liquid to the stockpot. Bring liquid to a tremble, about 190 degrees F, and cook at 190 degrees F (skim froth frequently during first hour of cooking) for 8 hours.
  • Pour stock in batches through a large fine sieve and discard solids. Skim off fat. (Alternatively, cool stock, uncovered, and chill, covered. Scrape congealed fat from chilled stock.) Gently simmer stock, skimming froth occasionally, until reduced to about 4 cups (1 L), about 1 hour. Cool stock, uncovered, and chill, covered. Stock keeps, covered and chilled, 1 week or, frozen in airtight containers, 3 months. If desired, pour cooled stock into ice-cube trays with 1-ounce cups and freeze. Frozen cubes keep in heavy-duty sealable plastic bags 3 months.

Shrimp Scampi Risotto image

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 cups clam juice
4 wide strips lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped (stems reserved)
6 cloves garlic
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails reserved)
1 onion
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
1 cup dry white wine
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Make the clam broth: Combine 4 1/2 cups water, the clam juice, lemon zest and parsley stems in a saucepan. Smash 3 garlic cloves and add to the pan along with the shrimp tails. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, chop the onion and remaining 3 garlic cloves. Heat 2 tablespoons butter and the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt; cook 30 seconds. Add the rice and cook until it starts to toast, 2 minutes. Add the wine, scraping up any browned bits, and cook until absorbed, about 3 minutes.
  • Strain the clam broth, then return to the saucepan and keep warm over low heat. Add 3 cups clam broth and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the rice and cook, stirring, until mostly absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 3 more cups clam broth and simmer, stirring, until the rice is just tender and the liquid is thickened, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the shrimp in the last 2 minutes of cooking and cook until opaque.
  • Remove the risotto from the heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, the lemon juice and most of the chopped parsley. Add enough clam broth until creamy; season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and top with the remaining parsley.
