Creamy risotto great for using up turnips and greens you get bombarded with in the fall. Originally from Gourmet Magazine with several tweaks. Serves 2 as a main course or 4-6 as a side dish.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 slices bacon
1 small onion, chopped
2 medium turnips, peeled & diced into 1/4-inch pieces (about 1/2 pound total)
1 bunch turnip greens, cut into 1/4-inch wide slices & stems chopped (optional)
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup arborio rice
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

  • In a 3-quart heavy saucepan cook bacon over moderate heat until crisp and golden. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Set aside. Reserve 1 tablespoon fat in pan.
  • In a small saucepan bring broth to a simmer and keep at a bare simmer.
  • Heat reserved bacon fat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté onion, stirring, until just beginning to soften. Stir in turnips (and greens if using) and rice and sauté, stirring constantly, 1 minute.
  • Stir in 1 cup simmering broth and cook, stirring constantly and keeping at a strong simmer, until absorbed. Continue simmering and adding broth, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and letting each addition be absorbed before adding next, until rice is tender and creamy-looking but still al dente, about 18 minutes total.
  • Stir in cheese and crumbled bacon.
  • Garnish with bacon crumbles and freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

I found that this risotto was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt than the recipe calls for.

I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it turned out great.

I'm not a big fan of bacon, so I omitted it from this recipe. It was still delicious!

This risotto is the perfect side dish for a roasted chicken or fish. It's also great on its own as a main course.

This risotto was an absolute delight! The flavors of the turnips, bacon, and Parmesan cheese blended together perfectly. I especially loved the crispy texture of the bacon. It added a nice contrast to the creamy risotto.
