  side dish recipes rice risotto

  • Baked Risotto with Variations
    
    1 and 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 cup chopped onion (about 1 medium-small onion)
    2 cups arborio rice
    1/2 cup dry white wine
    4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
    2 cups water
    Salt and ground black pepper
    1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    Chopped fresh herbs (e.g., parsley, chives, rosemary, basil)
    
    Adjust oven rack to middle position. Preheat oven to 450F. Heat oil in a heavy-bottom Dutch oven or large ovenproof saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
    
    Stir in rice; cook and stir 1 minute. Add wine; simmer until the liquid has almost evaporated. Turn off heat and stir in broth and water. Cover pot with a sheet of heavy-duty foil, pressing the foil down so it’s concave and rests on the broth. Place a lid over the pot to ensure an even tighter seal.
    
    Transfer to oven and bake 25 minutes. Remove from oven. Use a potholder to remove lid and foil (It’s very hot!). Set pot on burner over low heat.
    
    Stir mixture, adding water if necessary, until rice is cooked and a little chewy at the center and the liquid is creamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in cheese. Adjust seasonings, including salt and pepper, to taste. Makes 8 servings.
  • Thai Herb Risotto: Add 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger along with the wine. Replace the water with a 14 ounce can light coconut milk (plus enough water to measure 2 cups total). Eliminate cheese. Add the end of cooking, stir in 2 tablespoon fresh lime juice 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest, and 1/4 cup each chopped mint, basil and cilantro.
    
    This is the variation I make most:
    Lemon Rosemary Risotto: After removing risotto from oven, stir in 2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary, 3 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest.
