Artichoke Red Onion Rosemary Risotto Food

ARTICHOKE RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the artichoke hearts and reduce the heat to medium high. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, or until the hearts are beginning to brown. Remove to a plate and set aside.
• To the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the butter and the shallots and cook for 1 minute, stirring regularly. Add the rice and salt and stir with a wooden spoon to coat all the kernels with oil. Continue to cook for 3 minutes, or until the rice is sizzling. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until it is almost completely absorbed. Now begin adding the chicken broth, one cup at a time, stirring frequently between additions. After the first cup is almost entirely absorbed, add the next cup. Continue in this way until the rice is cooked through and you have a creamy risotto, about 20 minutes in all. (The risotto should be slightly loose, not dry; it should run off your spoon. If it gets too dry, add a bit more broth.) Stir in the peas, feta, chives, mint and black pepper. Gently stir in the artichoke hearts and the lemon juice. Serve.

HAM AND ARTICHOKE RISOTTO

Steps:

• Pull away the dark green outer leaves of the artichoke until you reach the yellow inner leaves. Cut one to two inches off the top of the artichoke, eliminating all prickly parts. Cut the base in half vertically. With a sharp knife, cut away the fuzzy choke and any remaining little leaves. Cut each half into thin slices and place in small bowl of water into which you have squeezed the lemon half.
• Bring the chicken stock to a simmer on top of the stove. Meanwhile, heat the butter and oil in a heavy skillet and cook the onion and garlic until the onion is soft. Drain the artichoke slices, pat them dry and saute for two to three minutes.
• Add the rice and saute, stirring for one to two minutes, making sure the grains are coated with the butter and oil. Add the wine and stir it until it is absorbed. Add the hot broth one-half cup at a time, stirring frequently. Do not add the next cup before the previous one is completely absorbed.
• When the rice is almost done (it should be creamy but al dente) add the ham and Parmesan cheese. Season to taste and Serve at once.

RISOTTO WITH ARTICHOKE HEARTS

Steps:

• Trim each of the artichokes. First slice off the stem flush with the base. Tear off all the heavy outer leaves, then the inner ones until the thick, fleshy bottom is exposed. By this time there should be a small pointed cluster of leaves left. Cut through the leaves and the bottom vertically to quarter it, then cut away the remaining leaves and the fuzzy choke, leaving the round, solid bottom pieces. Cut the quarters of the bottom in narrow wedges and place in a bowl of lemon juice mixed with water to prevent browning while you prepare the rest of the artichokes.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy saucepan. Add the onion, saute over medium heat for about five minutes, then stir in the garlic. Dry the artichoke pieces on a paper towel, add them to the saucepan and saute, stirring, another two to three minutes. Stir in the rice.
• Keep the chicken stock at a simmer and add it to the rice about one-half cup at a time. Slowly stir the rice, adding more stock as it is absorbed. Regulate the heat so the mixture simmers. Continue adding stock and stirring until the rice is just tender and all the stock has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper. Fold in the parsley and serve with Parmesan cheese on the side.
