RED & WHITE QUINOA RISOTTO

Steps:

• 1. Rinse quinoas and rice well in a fine meshed sieve. Set aside to drain while prepping the onions, mushrooms and garlic. Heat stock in a saucepan and keep hot while making this risotto.
• 2. Heat oil and butter in a large saute pan. Saute mushrooms and onions for a few minutes until almost opaque and mushrooms lightly browned. Add garlic the last few minutes. ..add rice and quinoa and cook a few more minutes to toast rice and quinoa a little. Add wine to deglaze pan. Stir until wine evaporates.
• 3. Add stock 1 ladle at a time and cook and stir until it evaporates. I don't stir constantly but I do every minute or so. After about 20 minutes, taste test for doneness of the grains. Keep stirring in broth and testing until done. If you need more liquid, you can add water.
• 4. The last few minutes, add peas, the zest and juice of the lemon. Stir to combine and cook until peas are done. Finish by stirring in the cream. (optional, but a hint JAP"s Susan Simmons learned in a culinary class)I liked the added creaminess. Salt and pepper if necessary.

RED WINE RISOTTO WITH PEAS

Steps:

• Bring the broth to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cover the broth and keep it warm over very low heat.
• Melt the butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Stir in the rice and cook for about 2 minutes until the rice is toasted. Add the wine and stir until it is absorbed, about 1 minute. Add 3/4 cup of hot broth; simmer over medium-low heat until the liquid is absorbed, stirring often, about 6 minutes. Repeat, adding 3/4 cup of hot broth 2 more times, stirring often, about 12 minutes longer. At this point, the risotto can be made 4 hours ahead. Refrigerate the risotto (the rice will still be firm) and remaining broth, uncovered, until cool, then cover and keep them refrigerated until ready to proceed.
• Bring the remaining broth to a simmer, then cover and keep it warm over very low heat. Stir 3/4 cup of hot broth into the partially cooked risotto over medium heat until the broth is absorbed and the risotto is hot, about 3 minutes. Add the remaining broth and simmer until the rice is just tender and the mixture is creamy, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in the peas and parsley. Add the 1/2 cup of Parmesan. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Spoon the risotto into bowls. Sprinkle additional cheese over and serve.

VEGAN MUSHROOM AND RED WINE QUINOA RISOTTO

Steps:

• Caramelize the onion and garlic, in the grapeseed oil on the stove at medium-high heat, until lightly browned and translucent - between 3 to 5 minutes.
• Deglaze the pan with red wine, scraping up all browned bits with a spatula. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the quinoa grains are translucent throughout.
• Remove from heat, fluff the mixture and let it sit, covered for 10 minutes. Serve with free range meat

THREE-CHEESE-AND-MUSHROOM QUINOA RISOTTO

Steps:

• Cover the dried mushrooms with 1 cup hot water, and set aside until softened, 5 to 10 minutes; drain, and chop, reserving the soaking liquid. Put the butter or oil in a large, deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat. When it is hot, add the shallots and dried and fresh mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shiitakes begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
• Add the quinoa, and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's glossy and coated with butter or oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and then add the wine. Stir, letting the liquid bubble away. Add the porcini soaking liquid, being careful not to pour in any sediment.
• Start adding the stock about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring after each addition and adjusting the heat to maintain a gentle bubble. When the stock is nearly evaporated, add more. Continue to cook, stirring frequently and adding stock as necessary; the mixture should be neither soupy nor dry.
• Begin tasting the quinoa about 20 minutes after you added it; you want it to be tender but not mushy and to have released some of its starch. Once it reaches that stage, after about 25 minutes, stir in the cheeses, along with a little more butter or oil if you like. Stir until the cheeses melt; taste and adjust the seasoning, and serve.

QUINOA RISOTTO WITH MUSHROOMS AND THYME

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups salted water to boil in medium saucepan. Add quinoa, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender and water is absorbed, about 13 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until onion begins to brown, 5 minutes. Add garlic; stir 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and thyme. Sautée; until mushrooms are tender, 6 minutes. Add wine; stir until wine is reduced and liquid is syrupy, 2 minutes.
• Mix quinoa into mushroom mixture; season with salt and pepper. Pass cheese separately.

RED WINE RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat the stock in a saucepan and keep it warm at the side of the stove. Melt half the butter in a shallow saucepan or casserole, add the onion with salt and pepper and sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft, but not browned. Stir in the rice and sauté it, stirring constantly, until it absorbs the butter, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in about half the wine with a little salt and pepper and simmer, stirring, until the rice starts to dry, 5-7 minutes. Add a couple of ladlefuls of hot stock and continue simmering, stirring gently but constantly. When the rice dries again and needs more liquid, add the remaining wine.
• Continue cooking, stirring all the time and adding more stock in batches. At the end of cooking, the rice should be tender, still slightly al dente (chewy) and creamy from the starch that has begun to leach from the grains. This will take 25 to 35 minutes and don't hesitate to use plenty of stock.
• Take the risotto from the heat, add the remaining butter in pieces, and stir it into the rice as it melts. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve the risotto in shallow bowls or on deep plates with a sprinkling of Parmesan. It is best served at once, though it can be kept warm for a few minutes. If necessary, soften it with a little more stock just before serving.

RED-WINE RISOTTO

Steps:

• In small saucepan, bring broth to a simmer. In medium saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter in oil over medium-low heat. When it foams, add onion and garlic; cook until softened. Pour in rice and stir to coat. Cook, stirring slowly, until rice is lightly toasted, about 3 minutes.
• Pour in 1 cup wine and reduce over medium-high heat until almost gone. Add second cup and reduce once more. When pan liquid is syrupy, begin ladling in hot broth, 1/2 cup at a time. Stir rice and adjust heat so that it is just bubbling on the edges. Continue stirring and adding broth as needed. Rice is done when it is tender but still firm to the bite in center. If you run out of broth before rice is cooked, add hot water. Mixture should be creamy and loose, not soupy. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Stir in 1/2 cup cheese and remaining tablespoon butter. Fold in chives and thyme. Serve risotto, passing the remaining cheese at the table.
