Yield Makes about 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 14 1/2-ounce can vegetable broth
1 cup dry white wine
1 large onion, chopped
1 large leek (white and pale green parts), chopped
1 cup medium-grain white rice
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 15- to 16-ounce can red beans or kidney beans, rinsed, drained
1 large head radicchio or 1/4 head curly endive, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
2 arugula bunches, thinly sliced (about 1 cup) or 1 cup sliced curly endive
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring broth and wine to boil in heavy large saucepan. Add onion, leek, rice and garlic and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until rice is tender and mixture is thick and creamy, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
  • Mix beans, radicchio and arugula into rice and cook until vegetables wilt, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve, passing Parmesan separately if desired.

Tips:

  • Soak the beans: Soaking the beans overnight helps to reduce the cooking time and makes them more digestible.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the risotto, so it's important to use a good quality broth that is flavorful and well-seasoned.
  • Cook the rice slowly: Risotto is a slow-cooked dish, so it's important to be patient and let the rice cook slowly over low heat. Stir the rice frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the beans and vegetables at the right time: The beans and vegetables should be added to the risotto towards the end of the cooking time, so that they have a chance to heat through without overcooking.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs such as parsley, basil, or thyme can add a nice finishing touch to the risotto.

Conclusion:

Kidney bean risotto is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture and flavorful broth, kidney bean risotto is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
