• Place a medium saucepan on a back burner over low heat. Add the chicken broth and heat to warm.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and season with a pinch of salt. Cook until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.

Add the shredded Brussels sprouts and a pinch of salt, then stir to combine. Using a ladle, add 1 cup of the warm chicken broth into the rice. Stir frequently until the broth is absorbed and the rice begins to release its starches, 8 to 10 minutes. Repeat with 2 to 3 more additions of the remaining broth, stirring the rice frequently, until the rice is tender but slightly toothsome and the risotto is loose and soupy.
• Stir in the Lemony White Beans and 1 1/4 cups of the Parmesan. Serve individual portions in shallow bowls, topping with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of the remaining Parmesan.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the beans, olive oil, chiles, lemon zest and juice, salt and a couple turns of black pepper. Gently mash, leaving some beans intact. Set aside until ready to incorporate into the risotto.

Add the rice and stir constantly for 30 seconds. Add the boiling chicken broth, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper and orange zest.
