RISOTTO WITH PARMIGIANO-REGGIANO IN A CROCK POT



Risotto With Parmigiano-Reggiano in a Crock Pot image

Inspired by a favorite dish at a Scottsdale, AZ restaurant. It's the Basil Olive Oil used in the dish that makes it so yummy. I love Risotto but oh, the stirring and stirring... Here is a crockpot version that works great!! This recipe works as a terrific side dish but you can add other items to make it a complete meal in itself, such as shrimp etc.. I hope some of you will attempt this version.

Provided by zuzuzpetals

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup basil olive oil, plus
little extra basil olive oil
2 shallots, peeled and minced
1 1/4 cups arborio rice
1/4 cup dry white wine
3 3/4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup of freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese, pricy but worth it (this is a must)

Steps:

  • Heat the basil oil in a saute pan over medium heat and saute the shallots until they have softened.
  • Lightly coat the insert of crock pot with some extra basil olive oil.
  • Add the sauted shallots and basil oil to the crockpot insert.
  • Add the rice and coat it with the mixture.
  • Stir in the wine.
  • Stir in the chicken broth.
  • Add the salt.
  • Cover and cook on high for about 2 hours or until all the liquid is absorbed.
  • Just before serving, stir in the cheese.
  • Have extra grated cheese to put on top of each serving.
  • If I was going to add shrimp, chicken, corn, salmon etc.
  • ,I would add it after the cheese had been stirred in, allowing just enough time to warm up the item but not to overcook it.

Tips:

  • Use the right rice. Arborio rice is the traditional choice for risotto, but you can also use Carnaroli or Vialone Nano rice. These short-grain rices have a high starch content, which helps to create the creamy texture of risotto.
  • Toast the rice before cooking. This helps to bring out the flavor of the rice and prevent it from sticking together.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your risotto. Use a broth that is flavorful and has a lot of body.
  • Add the broth gradually. Don't add all of the broth at once. Add it in small increments, stirring constantly, until the rice is cooked through.
  • Stir the risotto constantly. This helps to prevent the rice from sticking together and helps to create a creamy texture.
  • Don't overcook the risotto. Risotto should be cooked until it is al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. If you overcook it, it will become mushy.
  • Add your favorite toppings. Once the risotto is cooked, you can add your favorite toppings. Some popular options include Parmesan cheese, butter, herbs, and vegetables.

Conclusion:

Risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. By following these tips, you can make perfect risotto every time. So next time you're looking for a creamy and flavorful meal, give risotto a try!
