RAREBIT RISOTTO



Rarebit Risotto image

I've adapted this recipe from the Moosewood Simple Suppers cookbook, and it always gets rave reviews! Beer and cheddar may not sound like ideal risotto ingredients, but I guarantee it'll be love at first bite! I often substitute mushroom stock for the vegetable broth, which gives this dish a warm earthy flavor.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups vegetable broth (low sodium preferred)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
12 ounces beer (I prefer a lager or ale)
3 cups chopped broccoli florets
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
2 cups chopped roma tomatoes
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring vegetable broth to a gentle simmer.
  • In a medium dutch oven (or large sauce pan), heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add rice and stir till well coated and golden. Add beer and stir till rice has absorbed all the liquid.
  • Ladle in a cup or so of the stock and continue stirring till liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Repeat till all broth has been absorbed (stirring constantly).
  • While risotto is cooking, steam broccoli until bright green and just tender (I just pop it in a bowl, sprinkle with water, and microwave for a minute or so).
  • When the last of the broth is absorbed, add mustard and cheese and stir till cheese is melted and well combined with risotto. Stir in broccoli and tomatoes and sever immediately. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

We've tested all the methods and narrowed it down to a few easy-to-follow steps that will help you achieve perfectly cooked Italian-style rice every time.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

7 cups homemade chicken stock (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large shallot, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 bay leaves
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups arborio rice (see Cook's Note)
1 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Warm the chicken stock in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, cover and keep warm while you make the risotto.
  • Heat the olive oil in another medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the shallot, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 10 grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the bay leaves and 3 tablespoons butter, stirring until the butter has melted, about 1 minute.
  • Add the rice and toast, stirring only once, until it smells nutty and starts to turn light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Pour in the wine and simmer, stirring occasionally, until it has evaporated completely, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Ladle one cup of the warm stock into the rice and cook, stirring gently without stopping, until the rice has absorbed the liquid, 2 to 3 minutes (you will know it's time to add more stock when you move the rice aside and no liquid pools in the center).
  • Repeat this process, adding more stock a ladleful at a time, until the rice is al dente, 17 to 19 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. (You may have a little stock left over. If so, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.) If you prefer your risotto on the saucier side, add more stock 1/4 cup at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
  • Stir in the Parmesan, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon salt and a few more grinds of black pepper and serve with more Parmesan, if desired.

REAL WELSH RAREBIT

A classic version of this dish was shared with me years ago. This is is my adaptation to more local ingredients. If you don't like beer, you can replace it with milk and it will still taste great. Serve over toasted bread or English muffins.

WELSH RAREBIT



Welsh Rarebit image

Anyone can lay a few slices of cheese on toast and melt them, but creating a thick sauce of cheese, beer and spices and then spreading it on toast creates one of the best late-night snacks I know. This is Welsh rarebit, or rabbit, a traditional British dish whose name has a long and complicated history, one we will not go into here.

Categories     easy, appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 4 or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon mustard powder, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
3/4 cup strong dark beer, like Guinness
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, or to taste
1 pound Cheddar, Double Gloucester or other English cheese (or other good semi-hard cheese, like Comté or Gruyère, or a mixture), grated
4 to 8 pieces lightly toasted bread

Steps:

  • Put butter in a saucepan over medium heat and, as it melts, stir in flour. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and very fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in mustard and cayenne, then whisk in beer and Worcestershire sauce.
  • When mixture is uniform, turn heat to low and stir in cheese, again stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and pour into a broad container to set (you can refrigerate for up to a day at this point).
  • Spread mixture thickly on toast and put under broiler until bubbly and edges of toast are crisp. Serve immediately.

RAREBIT RISOTTO



Rarebit Risotto image

Categories     Mustard     Steam     Simmer     Boil

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 quart vegetable broth (see page 295)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
12 ounces beer (1 1/2 cups)
3 cups chopped broccoli
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 cups loosely packed grated sharp Cheddar cheese (about 10 ounces)
2 cups chopped tomatoes or halved cherry tomatoes
Sprinkling of black pepper

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, bring the broth to a boil and then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
  • Meanwhile, in a large, heavy saucepan on medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the rice and stir until well coated with oil. Add the beer and stir until the rice has absorbed the liquid, a couple of minutes. Ladle in the simmering broth a cup at a time, stirring often. Let the rice absorb most of the broth before adding the next cup, usually about 5 minutes between additions.
  • While the risotto is cooking, steam the broccoli until bright green and just tender. Set aside.
  • When the last of the broth is absorbed, the kernels of rice should be al dente and the risotto moist. Add the mustard and cheese to the risotto and stir until the cheese is melted. Stir in the broccoli and tomatoes, season with black pepper, and serve hot.
  • Serving & menu ideas
  • Serve something crisp with this silky risotto.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cheese for the best flavor. A sharp cheddar or a nutty Gruyère are both good options.
  • Don't overcook the rice. It should be al dente, with a slight bite to it.
  • Add the cheese gradually, stirring constantly. This will help prevent it from clumping.
  • If the risotto is too thick, add a little milk or water. If it's too thin, cook it for a few minutes longer.
  • Serve the risotto immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or grated cheese.

Conclusion:

Rarebit risotto is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover cheese. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, this risotto is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
