Spinach And Artichoke Risotto Food

SPINACH ARTICHOKE RISOTTO

Steps:

• Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a heavy-bottomed large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add the spinach, artichoke hearts, garlic, and crushed red pepper (optional) to the onions and sauté for another 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove mixture from pan and set aside.
• Heat the broth in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat and keep hot (broth must be hot before adding to rice). In the same large pan that the spinach artichoke mixture was cooked in, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the Arborio rice and cook, stirring continuously, for about 1 minute, making sure all rice is coated with the butter.
• Add the wine and stir constantly until the wine has fully absorbed into the rice, about 1-2 minutes. Add the hot broth, 1 cup at a time, to the rice and stir constantly until the broth is almost fully absorbed into the rice. Continue to add the broth until the rice is tender and mixture is creamy, about 20-25 minutes. Add more broth for a creamier texture. Rice should be slightly al dente (firm to the bite), not mushy, and a very creamy texture.
• Reduce heat to low and stir in the Havarti cheese, the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, and the spinach artichoke mixture. Stir well and heat through for a couple of minutes. Serve immediately.

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.

SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE RISOTTO

Steps:

• Add the vegetable broth to a saucepan and keep warm over low heat. In a large shallow pan over medium-low heat, cook the shallots in the butter. Season with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
• When the shallots are soft and translucent, add the garlic and cook for another minute.
• Stir in the rice to coat with the butter. Cook for 2-3 minutes to toast the rice.
• Add two ladles of broth to the rice. Cook, stirring occasionally until the liquid has been absorbed.
• When the liquid has been absorbed, add another two ladles. Repeat this process until the rice is tender and creamy, stirring frequently, allowing the liquid to be absorbed before adding more. This process will take 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, thaw the creamed spinach in the microwave. When the rice has absorbed all of the liquid, add the spinach, artichoke hearts, and fresh thyme to the mixture. Stir to combine.
• Remove the risotto from the heat and add the Parmesan cheese. Stir together.
• Season to taste with the remaining salt and pepper and a squeeze of fresh lemon.
