Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup short grain brown rice (or brown sushi rice)
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
12 ounces mixed mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/2 cup white wine
1 red bell pepper, cored and diced
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth, room temperature (or chicken broth)
1/2 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
truffle oil (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan over medium-high, combine the rice and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to simmer and cook for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, leaving it covered. The rice will not be completely cooked and there will be some water in the pan. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high, heat the oil. Add the onion and mushrooms, then saute until just starting to brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the wine and stir vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes to deglaze the pan. When the wine comes to a simmer, add the bell pepper and the rice along with any liquid in the pan. Stir well.
  • Add the broth and stir well. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the liquid has thickened and reduced, about 10 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch mixture, then cook for another minute. Stir in the cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper. If desired, drizzle with truffle oil just before serving.

Brown Rice and Vegetable Risotto image

While the nature of brown rice means that this dish will take longer to cook than standard risotto, it is well worth the wait. Feel free to adapt the recipe according to whatever seasonal produce is available to you.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 quart vegetable broth, or as needed
5 cups water, or as needed
½ pound asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 cups short-grain brown rice
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 zucchini, diced
½ cup green peas, thawed if frozen
⅔ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon butter
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring vegetable broth and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Add asparagus, reduce heat to low, and simmer until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer asparagus to a bowl of ice water; let chill for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, cover saucepan and keep broth mixture at a near-simmer on low heat.
  • Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring gently, until toasted and fragrant, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Pour 1 cup of the hot broth mixture into the rice and cook, stirring constantly, until liquid is almost absorbed. Adjust heat if necessary to maintain a simmer. Repeat, using 1/2 cup liquid at a time, until rice is just beginning to become tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Stir in diced carrots. Continue adding broth and stirring rice mixture until carrots are just tender, about 20 minutes more. Mix in zucchini; if broth mixture gets low, add hot water as needed. Cook and stir, adding broth, until rice is tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Mix in drained asparagus and peas and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes, Add Parmesan and butter, stirring until butter melts. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour in an additional 1/2 cup hot broth to the finished risotto for a softer consistency, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the final dish. Use the best quality brown rice, vegetables, and broth that you can find.
  • Toast the rice: Toasting the rice before cooking it helps to develop its flavor and give it a nutty aroma.
  • Cook the rice slowly: Risotto is a slow-cooked dish. Be patient and let the rice cook slowly over low heat, stirring frequently.
  • Add the liquid gradually: Don't add all of the liquid at once. Add it in small increments, stirring constantly, until the rice is cooked through.
  • Stir frequently: Stirring the risotto frequently helps to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot and also helps to create a creamy texture.
  • Use a wooden spoon: A wooden spoon is best for stirring risotto because it won't scratch the pot.
  • Season to taste: Once the risotto is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings.
  • Serve immediately: Risotto is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to hold it for a short period of time, keep it warm in a covered鍋子.

Conclusion:

Creamy brown rice risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. It is a great way to use up leftover brown rice and it is also a good source of fiber and nutrients. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home.
