Caramelized Onion and Fennel Risotto image

A hearty risotto flavored with a taste of fall by caramelized onions and fennel. "Being vegetarian or vegan around the holidays is incredibly difficult," says Joe DiMaria of Somerville, who sent us this recipe. "It's even more difficult when you don't like squash, root vegetables or sweet potatoes."

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 small bulb fennel, sliced thin
1 medium onion, sliced thin
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons butter, divided (use Earth Balance to make it vegan)

1/4 teaspoon sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups Arborio rice

Handful of fresh parsley, minced

Tips:

  • For a crispy chicken skin, pat the chicken dry before roasting and season it generously with salt and pepper.
  • Use a combination of olive oil and butter to roast the chicken. This will help keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature for 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature and continue roasting until the chicken is cooked through.

  • Use a flavorful broth to cook the risotto. This will add depth of flavor to the dish.
  • Add the vegetables and cheese to the risotto towards the end of the cooking time. This will prevent them from becoming overcooked.
  • Caramelize the onions slowly over low heat. This will allow them to develop a deep, rich flavor.
  • Serve the roasted chicken with the risotto and caramelized onions. You can also garnish the dish with fresh herbs.
