Best 5 Creamy Roasted Garlic And Chives Risotto Recipes

CREAMY ROASTED GARLIC & MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat a large cast iron skillet or pan over medium heat. Cook the mushrooms in 1 tablespoon of the oil for 5 minutes until they turn brown, then transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Wipe out the pan and drizzle with remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the chopped shallots or onion and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until they begin to soften. Add the roasted garlic, mashing it in a bit, and season with salt and pepper.
• Turn up the heat to medium-high and add the rice, stirring just until the grains become somewhat translucent - about 1 minute.
• Add the wine and cook, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan, until the alcohol is burned off - about 2 minutes. If not using the wine, just skip this step and add the additional water or chicken stock in the next step.
• Turn the heat down to medium-low and add 3 cups of chicken stock to the rice. Leaving the skillet uncovered, continue to cook over medium-low until most of the liquid has been absorbed, stirring just once or twice while the rice cooks.
• Test the rice by tasting a small spoonful. It should be firm, but not soft. Adjust salt & pepper, as needed, then add additional stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring in between each addition, until the rice is cooked to your taste and the liquid has been absorbed.
• Add the sauteed mushrooms back into the risotto to heat through just as the rice is almost done. When the rice is done, add another splash of chicken broth to make the risotto slightly soupy and remove the pan from the heat.
• Add the butter, Parmesan and lemon zest to the rice and stir thoroughly until the butter is completely melted and the risotto becomes nice and creamy and finishes absorbing any extra stock.
• Serve immediately, garnishing with shaved Parmesan, additional lemon zest, and micro-greens or freshly chopped parsley.

CREAMY ROASTED GARLIC AND CHIVES RISOTTO

Steps:

• Combine chicken broth, chives, roasted garlic, and basil in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer.
• Heat vegetable oil and butter in a separate pot over medium heat; cook and stir shallot and garlic in the hot oil-butter mixture until shallot is softened, about 5 minutes. Add rice to shallot mixture; increase heat to medium-high. Cook and stir until rice is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add wine, reduce heat to low, and simmer until wine is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
• Stir simmering broth mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, into rice mixture and continue to simmer until rice absorbs liquid; repeat, adding 1/2 cup of broth at a time, until all the broth is absorbed and rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir half-and-half into risotto; fold in Gorgonzola cheese until melted.

ROASTED-GARLIC RISOTTO WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Bring stock to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low; whisk in 1 tablespoon garlic puree, and continue to simmer.
• Remove stems from mushrooms, and finely chop. Cut mushroom caps into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add caps, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 5 to 7 minutes; transfer to a bowl.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon butter to pan. Add shallots and mushroom stems, and cook, stirring, until shallots are soft, about 2 minutes. Add rice; cook, stirring, until coated with oil and butter, 3 to 4 minutes. Add wine; stir until completely absorbed.
• Stirring constantly, add 3/4 cup simmering stock at a time, letting rice absorb each addition before adding the next. Continue to add stock until rice is creamy but al dente, 17 to 20 minutes.
• Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons garlic puree and 4 tablespoons butter, along with the cheese, chives, and reserved cooked mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish risotto with additional cheese and chives.

ROMANO RISOTTO WITH RADISHES

Steps:

• Bring broth and water to a simmer in a 3-to 4-quart saucepan. Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons butter in a 4-to 5-quart heavy pot over medium heat until foam subsides, then cook onion, stirring occasionally, until just softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in rice and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add wine and cook, stirring, until absorbed, about 1 minute.
• Stir 1 cup simmering broth into rice and cook, stirring constantly and keeping at a strong simmer, until absorbed. Continue cooking and adding broth, about 1 cup at a time, stirring frequently and letting each addition be absorbed before adding next, until rice is just tender and creamy-looking but still al dente, 18 to 22 minutes. Thin with some of remaining broth if necessary (you will have some left over). Remove from heat. Stir in cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and remaining 3 tablespoon butter.
• Whisk together vinegar, oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Toss radishes with dressing and chives. Serve risotto topped with radishes.
