RADICCHIO OR RED ENDIVE RISOTTO



Radicchio or Red Endive Risotto image

I've enjoyed this risotto in the Veneto region of Italy, where it's usually made with a long-leafed radicchio called treviso. Red Belgian endives have a similar bitter flavor. If you use red wine for this your risotto will have a reddish cast.

Time 40m

Yield Serves four to six

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 quarts well seasoned chicken or vegetable stock, as needed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup minced onion
1 1/2 cups arborio or carnaroli rice
1 to 2 garlic cloves (to taste), green shoots removed, minced
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup red wine or dry white wine, such as pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc
2 medium heads radicchio or 4 or 5 purple Belgian endives, quartered, cored and cut crosswise in thin slivers
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (2 ounces)
2 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Put your stock or broth into a saucepan, and bring it to a simmer over low heat with a ladle nearby or in the pot. Make sure that it is well seasoned.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a wide, heavy skillet or in a large, wide saucepan. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt, and cook gently until it is just tender, about three minutes. Do not brown.
  • Add the rice and the garlic, and stir until the grains separate and begin to crackle. Add the wine, and stir until it has been absorbed. Begin adding the simmering stock, a couple of ladlefuls (about 1/2 cup) at a time. The stock should just cover the rice and should be bubbling, not too slowly but not too quickly. Cook, stirring often, until it is just about absorbed. Add another ladleful or two of the stock, and continue to cook in this fashion, stirring in more stock when the rice is almost dry. You do not have to stir constantly, but stir often. After 10 minutes, stir in the radicchio or endive, and continue to cook in the same fashion until the rice is tender all the way through but still chewy, about 15 minutes. Taste now and adjust seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste. Add another ladleful of stock to the rice, along with the Parmesan and the parsley, and remove from the heat. The mixture should be creamy (add more stock if it isn't). Stir for about half a minute, then serve in wide soup bowls or on plates, spreading the risotto in a thin layer rather than a mound.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium white onion, diced
1 pound Italian rice
2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1 large head radicchio, chopped
2 1/2 cups red wine
1/2 cup finely grated fresh Parmigiano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil with the butter until hot over medium heat, and then cook the onions with some salt and pepper, stirring, until soft.
  • Stir in the rice; it will mix and get coated with the oil and become toasted and translucent.
  • Start adding your vegetable broth, 1 ladle at a time, stirring so the rice doesn't stick. When that's absorbed, keeping adding more until you are finished with the broth. Stir in the radicchio and cook 1 minute, and then begin ladling in the wine a little at a time until completely absorbed. The risotto will take about 16 to 18 minutes to cook. Remove from the heat, add your Parmigiano and mix well.

Provided by Moira Hodgson

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small onion, chopped
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups Italian Arborio rice
1 cup finely chopped raddichio leaves
1 cup dry light Italian white wine
4 to 6 cups homemade chicken stock
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/3 to 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a large heavy saucepan or skillet, soften the onion in the butter. Add the rice and cook over fairly high heat, stirring constantly, until the grains turn opaque.
  • Add the raddichio leaves, saute for one minute, then pour in the wine. Stir the rice well to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. When the liquid has evaporated, add a ladleful of hot broth. Repeat this procedure until the rice is almost tender but firm. If you run out of stock, add warm water instead.
  • Turn off the heat, add cream and season the risotto with salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese to taste. Serve immediately, with more cheese to pass separately at the table.

Categories     Cheese     Rice     Vegetable     Appetizer     Valentine's Day     Red Wine     Winter     Bon Appétit

Yield 4 Appetizer Servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 1/2 cups (about) canned vegetable broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 cup chopped shallots
1 large head radicchio, halved, thinly sliced
1 cup arborio rice or medium-grain white rice
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter

Steps:

  • Bring 3 1/2 cups broth to simmer in medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low; keep broth warm. Heat oil in large saucepan over medium-high. Add shallots; sauté until golden, about 3 minutes. Add radicchio; sauté until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add rice; stir 1 minute. Add wine; stir until liquid is absorbed, about 4 minutes. Mix in 1 cup broth. Reduce heat to medium; cook until liquid is absorbed, stirring often. Continue cooking until rice is tender but still slightly firm in center and mixture is creamy, adding broth 1/2 cup at a time and stirring often, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Add cheese and butter to risotto; stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon into bowls and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right radicchio: Look for radicchio that is firm and has deep red leaves. Avoid any heads that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Prepare the radicchio properly: Cut the radicchio into thin strips. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from becoming bitter.
  • Use a good quality red wine: The wine you use in this risotto will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. Choose a red wine that is dry and has a medium body, such as a Chianti or a Barbera.
  • Toast the rice before cooking: This will help the rice develop a nutty flavor and a creamy texture.
  • Cook the risotto slowly and carefully: Risotto takes time to cook, so be patient. Stir the risotto frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the radicchio and red wine at the right time: The radicchio should be added towards the end of the cooking process, so that it retains its color and texture. The red wine should be added just before the risotto is finished cooking, so that it has time to meld with the other flavors in the dish.
  • Serve the risotto immediately: Risotto is best served immediately after it is cooked, while it is still creamy and flavorful.

Conclusion:

The delicate flavor of radicchio and the rich taste of red wine come together perfectly in this risotto. This dish is sure to impress your guests, whether you're serving it as a main course or a side dish. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting risotto recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
