Risotto is not hard to make, it's not even extremely time consuming, you just have to be able to give it 20 minutes or so of constant attention. Such a delicious dish that's worth standing in one spot stirring constantly for a while. Lol. My husband likes the "ultra soft" zucchini I mention so that is what you see pictured.
Ingredient
4 cups
low sodium chicken broth
1 cup
arborio rice
2 tbs
olive oil
2 tbs
unsalted butter
1/4 cup
grated parmesan cheese
to taste
salt and pepper
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Slice zucchini on the bias to 1/4" thick slices. Heat chicken broth in a small sauce pan to almost boiling. Reduce heat, keep warm over low heat.
* Step 2
In a separate, medium sized sauce pan heat oil and butter over medium high heat. As soon as butter melts add zucchini.
* Step 3
Sautée until zucchini just begins to soften. For crisper zucchini remove from pan with slotted spoon to leave oil/butter behind and set aside. For ultra-soft zucchini that will blend into your risotto leave in pan to cook entire time.
* Step 4
Add rice to pan. Cook to toast lightly, stirring constantly. About 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low. Add one cup hot broth. Stir constantly until broth is mostly abdorbed.
* Step 5
Add the remaining broth one cup at a time allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more. When final cup of broth is about 3/4 absorbed reduce heat to low and stir in parmesan.
* Step 6
If you removed zucchini from the pan: For medium-soft zucchini return to pan half way through cooking risotto. For firmest texture add with parmesan.
* Step 7
Taste before serving. Add salt and pepper if desired (I rarely add any cause the parmesan is usually salty enough). Enjoy!
