Risotto With Sun Dried Tomatoes And Mozzarella Food

SUN-DRIED TOMATO RISOTTO WITH MOZZARELLA

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring stock to a simmer. While the stock is heating up, drain sun-dried tomatoes, reserving the oil. Coarsely chop tomatoes and set aside.
• In a large skillet, warm 2 tablespoons tomato oil, add onion and saute until translucent, about 6 minutes.
• Add rice to the pan and stir until white spots begin to appear in the center of the grains, about 1 minute. Spoon a ladle full of the vegetable stock into the pan and cook on low until all of the stock is absorbed, about 2 minutes. Continue adding stock one ladle full at a time until the rice is tender and the mixture is creamy, approximately 20-25 minutes.
• Add cheeses, sun-dried tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of remaining tomato oil, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and serve.

RISOTTO WITH MOZZARELLA AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the stock to a simmer. Adjust the heat to keep the liquid hot. Drain the sun-dried tomatoes and reserve the oil. Add olive oil if need to the oil from the jar to equal 4 tablespoons. Chop the sun-dried tomatoes and set aside. In a large, heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the reserved oil. Add the onion and saute until transluscent, about 8 minutes. Add the rice and stir until white spots appear in the center of the grains, about 1 minutes. Add a ladleful of the hot stock, adjust the heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring constantly until the liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes. Continue adding the liquid, a ladleful at a time and stirring constantly until the rice is just tender but slightly firm in the center and mixture is creamy, 20-25 minutes longer. Add the mozzarella, Parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, chopped basil and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Stir to mix well. Serve and garnish with basil leaves.

RISOTTO WITH TOMATOES, OLIVES, SMOKED MOZZARELLA

Steps:

• Heat the butter in pressure cooker over medium-high heat. When it begins to foam, add the leeks, herbs, and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute. Stir in the rice and coat it with the butter. Add the wine and cook over high heat, stirring, until it evaporates, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, broth and black olives.
• Lock the lid in place. Over high heat, bring to high pressure. Lower the heat to maintain high pressure and cook for 4 minutes. Quick-release the pressure by setting the cooker under cold running water. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape.
• Boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the rice is tender but still chewy and the risotto loses most of its soupiness and becomes creamy and thick, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the smoked mozzarella, green olives, parsley, and salt, if needed. Continue to stir just until the mozzarella has softened and the parsley becomes limp, about 30 seconds. Serve in large shallow bowls.

RISOTTO WITH ASPARAGUS AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• NOTE:.
• Zaar won't let me enter this in the ingredients section, so the 6 cups of chicken broth should actually consist of the cooking water from blanching the asparagus, and then adding enough chicken broth to measure the 6 cups.
• Blanch the asparagus in a large skillet or pan of rapidly boiling water 2-3 minutes or until vivid green. Remove the asparagus from the pan and reserve the cooking water. Measure the cooking water and add stock to equal 6 cups and pour into a saucepan set over low heat. Allow to come to a low simmer.
• Cut the asparagus into 1-inch pieces. Melt the butter in a large pot set over medium heat and add the chopped onion, rice, and all the asparagus except the tips. Stir this mixture until the rice and vegetables are coated and the onion becomes translucent.
• Add 1/2 cup of the simmering broth and cook, stirring until the liquid is absorbed. Continue adding the broth slowly, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring until it is absorbed. Work slowly and do not add more broth until the previous 1/2 cup is fully absorbed. Work until all the broth is absorbed. Taste the risotto; it should be firm but not hard and the mixture creamy. If it is still tough, you may need to add more broth (bring to a simmer first).
• Off the heat, gently stir in the reserved asparagus tips along with the remaining ingredients. Serve immediately.
