Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 ½ cups frozen shelled edamame
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
¾ teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup Arborio rice
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ cup dry white wine
4 cups hot water
¼ cup crumbled goat cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 ½ teaspoons dried basil
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the edamame, soy sauce, and 3/4 teaspoons of ground ginger. Cook and stir until the edamame is hot and the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour in the rice, and stir until the rice is coated in oil and has started to toast, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the garlic powder and white wine. Let the wine simmer until it has mostly evaporated, then stir in one-third of the hot water; continue stirring until the rice has absorbed the liquid and turned creamy. Repeat this process twice more, stirring constantly. Stirring in the water should take 15 to 20 minutes in all. When finished, the rice should be tender, yet slightly firm.
  • Stir in the edamame, goat cheese, Parmesan cheese, basil, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger until the cheeses have melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

CREAMY RISOTTO WITH EDAMAME RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Creamy Risotto with Edamame Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by á-174535

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup frozen shelled edamame
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium shallots, very finely chopped (1/4 cup)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup arborio rice
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth, warmed
1 cup lager beer, such as Budweiser
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Three 3/4-ounce wedges Laughing Cow cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a small saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the edamame and cook until tender, about 5 minutes; drain. In a large saucepan, melt the butter in the olive oil. Add the shallots and garlic and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until slightly translucent, about 2 minutes. Mix the chicken broth with the beer and season generously with salt and pepper. Add 1 cup of the beer broth to the rice and cook over moderately high heat, stirring constantly, until nearly absorbed. Continue adding the broth, about 1 cup at a time, stirring until it is absorbed before adding more. The rice is done when it's al dente and suspended in a thick, creamy liquid, about 17 minutes total. Add the edamame and cheese and stir until the cheese is melted. Season with salt and pepper and serve right away.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh edamame: Look for bright green, plump edamame pods that are free of blemishes.
  • Soak the rice: Soaking the rice in water for at least 30 minutes before cooking helps to remove the starch and results in a more tender risotto.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is an important part of the risotto, so use a good quality vegetable or chicken broth.
  • Cook the risotto slowly and stir frequently: Risotto is a labor of love, so be patient and stir the risotto frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the edamame towards the end of cooking: This will help to preserve the bright green color of the edamame.
  • Season to taste: Risotto should be creamy and flavorful, so season it to taste with salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

Creamy edamame risotto is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is also a relatively easy dish to make, so it is perfect for home cooks of all levels. With a little patience and attention to detail, you can create a creamy and flavorful risotto that will impress your friends and family.
