Congressman Mike Thompson of California posted this recipe in one of the local papers from his grandmother. He strongly recommends that the red wine be cabernet sauvignon, but he says you can substitute a good zinfandel, if you insist

Categories     Short Grain Rice

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 1/2 cups arborio rice or 1 1/2 cups carnaroli rice
1 cup cabernet sauvignon wine
5 -6 cups chicken stock, hot
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, drained and minced
1 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese, more to taste (4 ounces)
kosher salt
fresh black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the butter and olive oil together in a large saucepan over low heat.
  • When the butter is melted, add the onion and garlic, and saute until transparent, 7-8 minutes.
  • Add the rice, and stir with a wooden spoon until each grain begins to turn a milky white, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the wine, and continue to stir until it is completely absorbed by the rice.
  • Keeping the stock hot over low heat, add the stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring after each addition until nearly all the liquid is absorbed.
  • Continue to add stock and stir until the rice is tender but not mushy, a total of 18-20 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomatoes and cheese, taste again, and season with salt, pepper, and if you like, more cheese.
  • Serve immediately.

This risotto was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more herbs and spices next time.

This risotto was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. I think next time I'll use a different type of wine, maybe a white wine.
