PARMESAN RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat chicken broth in a medium saucepan. Keep hot during preparation.
• Heat the butter and oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallots, and saute, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, 3-4 minutes. Do not brown.
• Add the rice, and stir to coat. Cook rice, stirring frequently, until well coated and grains start to appear translucent, about 2 minutes.
• Add the white wine, and stir constantly until it has evaporated, about 2 minutes.
• Add 1 cup of the hot stock, and cook, stirring constantly, until almost all of the liquid has evaporated. Then add hot stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until each addition is absorbed before adding the next (reserve about 1/2 cup for serving). Cook until rice is tender but still firm in the center (a total of 20-25 minutes).
• Remove pan from heat, and stir in 2 t lemon zest, 1/4 c Parmesan cheese, salt & pepper. Add some of the remaining stock a little at a time to reach the desired consistency. Serve immediately, garnished with Parmesan cheese and parsley.

RISOTTO ALLA PARMIGIANA

Steps:

• Heat 40g/1½oz of the butter in a deep, heavy-based pan and gently fry the onion until softened, but not coloured.
• Meanwhile heat the stock in a separate saucepan. Add the vermouth to the onions, turn up the heat and reduce until almost evaporated.
• Add the rice and, stirring vigorously using a sturdy wooden spoon, allow the rice to become shiny with butter before adding a ladle of hot stock. Continuing to stir vigorously and let the rice absorb the stock before adding another ladleful.
• Remove the risotto from the heat when the rice is becoming tender, but is still sloppy and dropping consistency. Cover with a lid and set aside for three minutes.
• Stir in two tablespoons of cheese and the remaining butter. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground white pepper and vigorously beat the rice with a wooden spoon until slick and glossy; it should easily fall back on itself when lifted.
• Spoon onto hot plates and take extra parmesan to the dinner table.

EASY PARMESAN "RISOTTO"

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the rice and 4 cups of the chicken stock in a Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset. Cover and bake for 45 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed and the rice is al dente. Remove from the oven, add the remaining cup of chicken stock, the Parmesan, wine, butter, salt, and pepper, and stir vigorously for 2 to 3 minutes, until the rice is thick and creamy. Add the peas and stir until heated through. Serve hot.

RISOTTO ALLA MILANESE

Steps:

• Heat the butter, salt pork, and olive oil in a heavy skillet over moderate heat.
• Add the onions and cook until lightly browned.
• Add the chopped livers, salt, and pepper, and stir. Cook for 5 minutes.
• Add the rice, stirring well, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the boiling broth, stir well, cover and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
• Test for seasoning and doneness. The risotto should be creamy in texture and the rice should be cooked but still slightly firm to the teeth.
• If the rice is too dry, add a little more broth. If too runny, cook uncovered for a minute or two.
• Do not overcook. Just prior to serving stir in the saffron. Serve with grated fresh parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.
• You might also want to add some freshly ground black pepper on top.
• For Vegetarian remove the Chicken liver, the salt pork and do not use the chicken broth. Also do not add any fish/seafood such as shrimp to the recipe. Fish/seafood is not considered vegetarian.

RISOTTO ALLA MILANESE

Steps:

• Mix together the garlic, parsley, and lemon zest in a bowl.
• Set aside.
• Put the saffron in a small bowl with 1 tbsp boiling water and let stand while saffron is infused.
• Melt the butter in a heavy frying pan, and gently cook the onion until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the rice and cook for about 2 minutes, until it becomes translucent.
• Add the wine and saffron mixture and cook for several minutes until all the wine is absorbed.
• Added 2 1/2 cups of the stock to the pan, and simmer gently until the stock is absorbed.
• Stir frequently.
• Gradually add more stock, a ladle at a time, until the rice is tender.
• (The rice may be tender and creamy before you've added all the stock, so add it slowly toward the end of the cooking time.) Season the risotto with the salt and pepper and transfer to a serving dish.
• Sprinkly lavishly with shavings of Parmesan cheese and the garlic and parsley mixture.

RISOTTO ALLA MILANESE

Steps:

• Put 30 g of the butter in a large pan and melt it (keep the remaining butter for later).
• Add the finely chopped onion.
• Sweat over a medium heat for about 2 minutes.
• Add the bone marrow and continue cooking for another 3 minutes, breaking it with the spoon while stirring.
• Once the onion is soft, add the rice and and stir until the rice is completely coated with the fat.
• You can see that the rice will start to become translucent, keep stirring and sweat the rice for a minute or two.
• Then, add the white wine, keep stirring and let the wine evaporate (it will probably take a couple of minutes).
• Now, add the stock and turn the heat to medium/low, the stock, which is kept simmering in order to stay hot, should be added at the rate of a couple of ladlefuls at a time and when this is absorbed, add more stock.
• Carry on in this way for about 15 minutes, during this stage, do not leave the pan alone and stir regularly (gently).
• After 15 minutes, you will probably need an extra 3 to 5 minutes to complete the final stage of cooking (this time depends on the type of rice you are using). From now on, taste the rice every minute until the rice is cooked "al dente" (this means that the rice is tender outside, but still slightly firm to the bite in the centre). At the same time, the tasting will tell you if you need to adjust seasoning with salt. Regular but gentle stirring is required for the last minutes in order to avoid the risotto sticking to the bottom of the pan.
• In these last minutes, if the stock is completely absorbed, you can gradually add a bit more (say a half ladle at a time) because at this final stage you do not want the risotto becoming too watery.
• Now, at about the 15th minute, put the saffron powder into a glass.
• Add half a ladle of stock and dissolve the saffron stirring with a small spoon and then add the saffron into the pan.
• Stir until all the rice is uniformly coloured (golden yellow). Continue cooking and adding stock as required.
• When the rice is perfectly cooked "al dente", add the Parmesan cheese and stir for few seconds until the Parmesan has melted.
• Then, put the cooker off, add all the remaining butter (cut into pieces) and stir until completely melted.
• Cover the pan with a lid for about 1 minute and allow the risotto to rest before serving it.
• Risotto should be served "all'onda" (like a wave). This means that when you serve it onto the plate, it should still flow a little.
• Buon appetito!
