1 cup dry white wine
3/4 teaspoon crumbled saffron threads

3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Make clam broth:
  • Combine all broth ingredients in a 4- to 6-quart heavy pot and simmer, partially covered, 30 minutes. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve, then discard solids. Transfer broth to a 3-quart heavy saucepan and cover.
  • Prepare quinoa:
  • Wash quinoa in 3 changes of cold water in a bowl, draining in fine-mesh sieve between changes of water. Return quinoa to bowl.
  • Pat shrimp dry and sprinkle with teaspoon salt.
  • Heat vegetable oil and achiote seeds in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart heavy saucepan over low heat until oil is bright yellow, about 10 minutes. Pour oil through sieve into cleaned 4- to 6-quart heavy pot, discarding seeds.
  • Add 1 tablespoon butter to oil in pot and heat over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then cook shrimp and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, stirring, until shrimp are almost cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl using a slotted spoon. (Do not clean pot.)

  • Meanwhile, bring clam broth to a simmer and stir, then keep at a bare simmer.
  • Add 1/2 cup broth to quinoa and simmer briskly, stirring constantly, until broth is absorbed. Continue simmering and adding hot broth, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring quinoa frequently and letting each addition be absorbed before adding the next, until quinoa is tender and its germs separate from grains, about 30 minutes total. (There will be some broth left over.)
  • Stir cream into risotto and bring to a simmer over moderate heat, then add shrimp mixture with any juices and cook, stirring, until shrimp are just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes.

THREE-CHEESE-AND-MUSHROOM QUINOA RISOTTO



Three-Cheese-and-Mushroom Quinoa Risotto image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, main course, side dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup dried porcini mushrooms
3 tablespoons butter or olive oil, plus more to taste
2 chopped shallots
1 cup chopped shiitake caps
1 1/2 cups quinoa
Salt and ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine or water
2 to 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1/4 cup each freshly grated Parmesan, chopped Fontina and crumbled Gorgonzola

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.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your risotto will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful shrimp and mushrooms, and use a good quality quinoa.
  • Cook the quinoa properly: Quinoa is a delicate grain, so it's important to cook it properly. Be sure to rinse the quinoa thoroughly before cooking, and use the correct ratio of water to quinoa. You should also cook the quinoa until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Sauté the shrimp and mushrooms: Sautéing the shrimp and mushrooms in a little bit of butter or oil will help to bring out their flavor and add a nice texture to the risotto.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your risotto. Use a broth that is flavorful and has a good body. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even seafood broth.
  • Cook the risotto slowly and carefully: Risotto is a dish that takes time to cook. Be patient and stir the risotto frequently to prevent it from sticking to the pot.
  • Add the cheese and butter at the end: Once the risotto is cooked, stir in the cheese and butter. This will help to create a creamy, rich sauce.
  • Serve the risotto immediately: Risotto is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to keep it warm, you can place it in a warm oven or on a warm burner.

Conclusion:

Shrimp and mushroom quinoa risotto is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make, but it does take a little bit of time. If you follow the tips above, you will be sure to end up with a perfect risotto that your guests will love.
