Risotto Bianco

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 18:13:12 -0400

This is Jamie Oliver's perfect risotto base. It takes a bit of time but if you're looking for perfection it is well worth every effort. *J.O. calls for 2 pints of stock but I always end up adding more so it's best to start with 3 pints of hot chicken stock. -- posted by Trinkets

Brussels Sprouts and Saffron Risotto

Sat, 12 Jul 2008 18:57:07 -0400

From the July 8, 2008 Sydney Morning Herald. The vegetable stock may be replaced with chicken stock, and the arborio rice can be replaced with carnaroli or vialone nano. -- posted by AmandaInOz

Weight Watchers (Ww) Roasted Squash Risotto

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 18:01:22 -0400

This came from the UK version of weight watchers magazine. Its thick and creamy and satisfyingly filling. It works out at 3 points per portion (based on the British system) Adding roasted garlic (if you have any) really enhances this dish and adds to the richness of it. -- posted by PinkCherryBlossom

Crab Risotto

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 03:10:17 -0400

This was adapted from a Mario Batali Recipe. I've substituted snow crab legs for lobster. If you wish, you can cook a whole crab and use the cooking water for the broth. This is best served with some garlic bread - slice up a baguette, toast it, and rub a cut garlic clove on the warm, toasted bread slices. -- posted by Steve Dunham

Easy Lemon Risotto With Peas

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 19:10:25 -0400

I love risotto, but I hate standing over a hot stove stirring the simmering rice for half an hour, especially during hot Georgia summers. This recipe gives you all the flavor and gets you out of the kitchen fast! For an easy vegetarian dinner, serve the risotto with a side salad of mixed baby greens, walnuts and quartreed turkey figs, tossed with Sherry-Walnut Oil Vinaigrette. While you're putting the salad together, warm up a loaf of hot, crusty French bread in the oven. -- posted by Deep South

Oven-Baked Risotto (Several Variations)

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 01:18:37 -0400

This is a great time saver, and is nearly as good as the laborious version. Feel free to experiment with any ingredients to mix into the base recipe, the possibilities are endless (meat, veggies, herbs, etc.). I have listed a few of my favorites. Most ingredients can be added and cooked into the risotto. Some things are better stirred in after it is cooked. I have tried to list which ones I would add at the end in the directions. Please note: nutrition facts include the optional ingredients for all 4 variations. -- posted by Maito

Insalata Di Riso (Rice Salad)

Sat, 26 Jul 2008 03:37:09 -0400

When I was younger, I would spend summers with my family in Italy. A big bowl of rice salad was always in the fridge for everyone to munch on when we were hungry. Such great memories go with this salad. Great for a hot day! -- posted by gobruijns

Truffled Lobster Risotto

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 00:15:55 -0400

What could be better than the creamy smoothness of risotto with a hint of truffle combined with the elegance of lobster. If you need, or want, a show-off entree this is perfect for guests or that romantic dinner. There seems to be alot to this recipe but the result is worth it. I have prepared this using both warm and cold water lobster tails and I prefer the cold for its sweetness. For the truffle oil I have only used the black variety. This recipe is courtesy of Bon Appetit, January 1998 -- posted by -GEORGE-

Citrus Rice Salad With Parmesan

Tue, 05 Aug 2008 18:53:56 -0400

Found several interesting looking rice salads in the NY Times on July 30, 2008 by Mark Bittman (the minimalist). He says rice salads are among the few salads that don't deteriorate after the dressing is added, so they can be dressed minutes or hours ahead. He recommends that you cook the rice a bit in advance, and dress it before it gets too cold. He also recommends that you cook the rice like a pasta, in abundant salted water (for between 15 and 45 minutes, depending on the rice) and then drain it and dress it when the rice is cool enough to handle. Cooking time is for white rice. Slightly adjusted to suit my dietary preferences (lower fat, but you can increase the olive oil and cheese as you see fit). -- posted by Kumquat the Cat's friend

Lobster Risotto With Herb-Rubbed Beef Tenderloin

Thu, 07 Aug 2008 01:10:43 -0400

My friend Judy has started testing many recipes for a party that she will be giving in a couple of months, so meanwhile, we make these great dishes and I get to try some now and then. This was a winner but a bit too labor intensive for the amount of people she plans on having. These recipes were in Coastal Living Magazie, October 2007 edition. -- posted by Manami

Red Wine Risotto

Fri, 08 Aug 2008 19:56:17 -0400

Bold flavor, creamy texture, filling. Block cheese is preferred, but pre-shredded will work. Fresh parmesan may be substituted for pecorino.

Cheddar Risotto

Mon, 15 Sep 2008 10:23:50 -0400

Risotto is an easy, cheap meal for family and friends. Enjoy this vegetarian version made with sharp Cheddar cheese. Be sure to grate the Cheddar very finely, so that it melts quickly and easily into the risotto. Serve the risotto with a bowl of finely grated Cheddar - so each person can sprinkle extra on top of their portion. -- posted by English_Rose

Grilled Eggplant Risotto

Thu, 25 Sep 2008 14:13:07 -0400

Serve with cherry-rich red: 2006 Chateau de La Chaize Brouilly. A healthy & vegetarian dish. For this super simple risotto, Chef Jonathan Justus, grills eggplant until smoky and charred & then blends the creamy flesh into the cooked rice. Just before serving he sprinkles on sumac, a tart Middle Easten spice made from the dried berry. Chef Jonathan Justus opened his Smithville, Missouri restaurant in his family's former drugstore last year (hence its name, James Drugstore).

Found this on the Real Simple website, but have not had the chance to try it. I have been hoarding rice pudding recipes in hopes of finding that *perfect* one, and this one stood out as unique.

Italian Inspired Microwave Rice

Mon, 03 Nov 2008 22:58:39 -0500

I threw this together last night to see what I could do with the bits and bobs I had floating around in my fridge. I am not claiming it is at all authentic Italian but the ingredients I had around pointed in that direction. I used jasmine rice because that is what I had around but any long grain should work. My microwave is a 700 watt variety to adjust as needed for your own microwave. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

Classic risotto needs constant stirring but this baked version needs hardly any attention as it cooks gently in the oven. To jazz it up a bit: When you add the remaining butter and cheese, stir in some shredded roast chicken. Heat through for 1-2min. Fry 2oz cubed pancetta or smoked streaky bacon with the onion and garlic. Stir in some fresh, chopped basil, thyme or baby spinach before serving. -- posted by English_Rose

Mushroom Risotto With Italian Sausage Sauce

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 15:52:05 -0400

A very nice recipe based on one from the Sunset Quick Cuisine cookbook. Its intro entices, "Moist and creamy, this risotto is laced with mushrooms and crowned with a meaty tomato sauce." I would start with the Italian Sausage Sauce so that its flavors blend while you make the Mushroom Risotto; otherwise, the original recipe says to make the Sausage Sauce while the risotto is simmering for the 15 minutes. -- posted by mersaydees

Frozen Asparagus Risotto With Bacon

Sun, 05 Apr 2009 01:43:14 -0400

Spring brings us all this gorgeous but pricey fresh asparagus. I don't mind the expense for the pleasure of steamed spears. But I've found that in making risotto, using a frozen product often gives as much flavor, and is easier and cheaper. Step 6 is where I veer away from traditional risotto making - something I figured out when my kids were little and I wanted to be with them rather than stand at the stove, stirring. This early prep saves you at least 10 minutes of on-your-way-to-varicose-veins time. -- posted by Elisabetta47

We recently spent 2 weeks on Sicily - 1 in a 15th century renovated winery on the slopes of Mt. Etna, and 1 on the north coast, overlooking a Med. type scene. Earlier we had been invited to dinner with the family of a new friend, where all the women gathered to teach us how to make Arancini !! This recipe is from a book I bought there --"Fragrances and Flavors of Sicilian Cuisine", since no one in the group had sufficient common language skills to accurately copy their recipe.

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 11:33:29 -0400

I love red bell peppers! They even become better when they are cooked; roasted, baked, fried, pureed. I'll take 'em any way you make 'em. One day when I came across some at a local market on sale for 99 cents per pound instead of their usual $3.99 per pound, I had to buy some for dinner that night. And this is what I was inspired to come up with. Please, please use RED bell peppers... the flavor will not be the same with green ones.

Staff Favorite, Make-Ahead, Vegetarian and absolutely delicious! :) This recipe for arancini - fried risotto balls - comes from Renato Poliafito, who got it from his Sicilian cousin, Emmanuelle Samtifillipo. These arancini are the size of tangerines filled with creamy cheesy rice, studded with nuts and green peas and encased in a crunchy crust.

Rice Timbale (Like Baked Arancini)

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 01:55:55 -0500

The arancini (fried rice balls) that are sold in the bars and cafes of Sicily are among my favorite foods. Here is a recipe that is easier for the home cook, and since it is baked and not fried, the fat content may be lower. This recipe has endless variations; I've posted the most complicated version (it's not that hard) which can then be unmolded for a dramatic presentation. But simpler versions abound -- for example, a timbale made in a springform pan and filled simply with ham, peas and a thick bechamel. Chopped spinach or eggplant could be added to the rice. The filling ingredients can be prepared the day before. Just an observation: to make it kid-friendly, keep it simple. -- posted by MariaLuisa

Lemon and Artichoke Risotto With Shrimp

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 14:07:38 -0500

I adapted this recipe from Rachel Ray's 365: No Repeats cookbook. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp or they will be rubbery. The estimate for the amount of liquid will vary depending on the several factors, but you should be safe with at least 6 cups of pre-heated liquid, you can expect your rice to be done once you have added 4-6 cups. Start checking for texture after the 4th cup is added. -- posted by Erindipity

Mommom Faiella's Italian Sausage Scallopini

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 10:10:45 -0500

The aroma of the herbs and mushrooms cooking on the stove will be very pleasant to your senses. This is almost straight out of my grandmother's recipe book. The only changes my mother made to this recipe were to substitute canned mushrooms with fresh mushrooms and to add a bit more seasonings. -- posted by The Foodgitive

Mother's Always Right Stuffed Peppers

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 10:20:14 -0500

Be warned, listen to my mother- when she says to be careful with the peppers when straining because they may fall apart, it means be careful with the peppers when straining because they may fall apart. I broke 2 out of 3 peppers because of my lack of direction following. I had to use the broken peppers and cut them in half, laying the filling on the top. -- posted by The Foodgitive
