Steps:

• Pulse 1 cup farro in a blender until about half is broken into smaller pieces. Cook 1 chopped shallot and 1 chopped small fennel bulb in 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, 5 minutes. Stir in the farro and 1 teaspoon kosher salt.

• Add the rice and stir for 1 min. Pour over most of the wine and simmer until evaporated. Add 500ml of the hot stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring between each addition until it is absorbed.
• Meanwhile, slice remaining fennel and fry in knob of butter until browned. Add remaining stock and wine and cook until tender.
• When the rice is cooked, stir in the zest, Parmesan and some seasoning. Take off the heat and set aside, covered, for 2 mins. Serve in bowls, topped with the fennel fronds and cooked fennel, stirring the prawns through if using.

RISOTTO OF FENNEL AND BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Add fennel, onion, water, and garlic; cook and stir until onion starts to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in rice until coated with oil and lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Stir 1 cup broth into the saucepan; cook until rice absorbs broth, about 5 minutes. Add broth a ladleful at time, stirring until rice is tender and creamy, 15 to 20 minutes in all. Stir in black beans; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

BLACK BEAN RISOTTO

Steps:

• Add 1/2 the olive oil to a saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic, jalapenos and onions and saute for about 3 to 4 minutes, do not brown. Add the chili powder, cumin, oregano, bay leaf, beans and tomatoes and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until all ingredients are warm, then set aside.
• Add the other 1/2 of the olive oil to a sauce pot and saute the rice until warm, about 30 to 60 seconds. Transfer the rice to the inner cooking pan of the RIZO Micom Rice Cooker and Warmer and place inside the cooker. Pour the heated chicken stock over the rice and then place the sauteed ingredients on top of the rice. Close the lid and press the risotto button to start. When the rice is finished it will automatically switch to warm mode. Press the RESET button. Add the salt, pepper, butter and cheese, mix all and serve immediately. Garnish with cilantro, scallion flowers and maduros.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan bring broth and water to a simmer and keep at a bare simmer.
• In a heavy saucepan melt butter over moderately high heat and stir in rice and fennel seeds, stirring until coated with butter. Add vermouth and cook, stirring, until absorbed. Continue cooking and adding broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and letting each portion be absorbed before adding next. (After last broth addition rice should be al dente and creamy.)
• Remove pan from heat and stir in Boursin, chives, and salt and pepper to taste.

• Soak the rice for about 2 minutes and then rinse.
• Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat and gently fry the onion until soft.
• Add the garlic to the pan and cook for 2 minutes.
• Add the fennel.
• Add the rice and stir to coat all the grains with oil.
• Turn up the heat and add the wine stirring until absorbed.
• Add the broadbeans.
• Reduce the heat and add the stock a ladle at a time stirring each time until it has been absorbed.

RISOTTO WITH BLACK BEANS & OLIVES

Steps:

• In pressure cooker, heat the oil.
• Sauté the onions and garlic until soft but not brown, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in the rice, coating thoroughly with the oil.
• Stir in 3 1/2 cups of the stock, the oregano and salt.
• Lock the lid in place and, over high heat, bring to high pressure.
• Lower the heat just enough to maintain high pressure; cook 5 minutes.
• Reduce pressure with a quick-release method.
• Remove lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape.
• The risotto will continue to absorb liquid at this point and should end up being slightly soupy.
• If necessary, stir in a bit more stock with the olives, black beans, coriander and pepper.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until rice is tender but chewy.
• Serve immediately in shallow soup bowls.

RISOTTO WITH FENNEL AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Heat the stock to a simmer.
• Coarsely chop the onion in a food processor by pulsing. Heat the oil in a deep pot, and saute the onion.
• Trim, wash and coarsely chop the fennel in a food processor; add to the onion, and continue cooking until both begin to soften.
• Stir in the rice. Add the wine, and cook 1 minute over high heat, stirring.
• Pit the olives, chop, and add to the rice. Then add the fennel seed.
• Add 1 cup of the chicken stock to the rice; cook over medium heat, stirring often. When most of the liquid is absorbed, add another cup of stock; repeat until the rice is tender.
• Grate the cheese.
• When the rice is cooked and moist, season with pepper and stir in the cheese.

CRAB, LEMON, FENNEL AND CHILLI RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat the stock in a saucepan. In a separate pan, heat two tablespoons of olive oil, then add the onion and fennel (not the fronds). Fry for about 8 minutes until they are soft but not coloured. Add the garlic and fry for a further minute. Add the wine and simmer for a further five minutes.
• Add the rice and stir well until it has absorbed the wine a little and has begun to become translucent. Add the stock to the rice a ladle at a time, stirring and waiting until it has been fully absorbed before adding the next. Turn the heat down to low so the rice doesn't cook too quickly, otherwise the outside of each grain will be stodgy and the inside hard and nutty. Continue to add ladlefuls of stock until it has all be absorbed. This should take about 14 to 15 minutes and give you rice that is beginning to soften but is still a little al dente.
• Zest the lemon and add half to the risotto, reserving a little for the garnish. Squeeze the juice of the lemon in adding the crab, chilli and pecorino. Stir well. Add a good crack of black pepper and salt to taste.
• To serve, ladle into bowls and top with the fennel fronds, lemon zest, a sprinkling of pecorino and a drizzle of olive oil.

RISOTTO WITH FENNEL AND BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Steam fennel and broccoli separately until tender. Place in a food processor with a fourth cup of steaming water. Puree and season to taste with salt and pepper, and then set aside.
• Heat butter and oil in a heavy frying pan and saute the shallots until they are soft. Add rice and saute for one to two minutes, until the grains turn opaque. Add a half cup of hot chicken stock and stir frequently. When it has been absorbed by the rice, add another half cup.
• Add wine and cook until it is absorbed by the rice. Stirring frequently, continue adding more chicken stock, half a cup at a time, and cook for 15 or so minutes more. When rice is almost tender but still al dente, add pureed vegetables. Cook for a minute, then add the Parmesan cheese and the cream. Cook another minute, correct seasoning and serve.

FENNEL RISOTTO

Steps:

• Cut the base off of the fennel bulbs, and cut a cone shape into the base to remove the core. Slice the fennel vertically (lengthwise) into 1/4 inch thick slices.
• Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed stock pot over medium heat. Cook onions and fennel in butter for 2 minutes. Stir in the rice; cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted. Stir in 1 cup vegetable broth; continue stirring until liquid is almost completely absorbed. Repeat this process with remaining broth, stirring constantly. Incorporating the broth should take 15 to 20 minutes in all.
• Stir in cream, 3 tablespoons Parmesan and parsley, and cook until rice is done and risotto is thick and creamy. Season to taste with black pepper. Divide risotto among 6 bowls, and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
