Ades Meat Risotto Recipes

GROUND BEEF RISOTTO

Steps:

• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef, onion, garlic and pepper over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is thoroughly cooked; drain if desired. Stir in rice; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Stir in broth; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; simmer 10 minutes.
• Stir in carrot. Cook uncovered 5 to 7 minutes longer or until liquid is absorbed.
• Remove skillet from heat. Stir in cheese. Cover; let stand 3 minutes. Sprinkle with chives.

BEEF RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Gently fry the onion for 3 minutes, or until softened.
• Add the garlic, and fry for 1 minute.
• Turn up the heat and add the mince, browning it, which should take 5 minutes.
• Lower the heat to medium and stir in the rice.
• Pour in the passata and sprinkle in the oregano.
• Stir and let the risotto simmer gently for 5 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed.
• Add 125ml (¼ cup) of beef stock to the risotto, and keep stirring until the stock disappears. Repeat until you've used up all the stock.
• By this time, the meat should be cooked through. The rice shouldn't be dry but should rather have a sloppiness to it. If the rice is still not quite cooked, add a splash of extra stock or water and keep stirring until the rice is cooked to your liking.
• [Optional] Stir in the sugar.
• Melt the mozzarella into the risotto to add some stringy goodness to the risotto. Alternatively, serve as a topping along with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy!

THE BEST RISOTTO

Steps:

• Warm the chicken stock in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, cover and keep warm while you make the risotto.
• Heat the olive oil in another medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the shallot, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 10 grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the bay leaves and 3 tablespoons butter, stirring until the butter has melted, about 1 minute.
• Add the rice and toast, stirring only once, until it smells nutty and starts to turn light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Pour in the wine and simmer, stirring occasionally, until it has evaporated completely, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Ladle one cup of the warm stock into the rice and cook, stirring gently without stopping, until the rice has absorbed the liquid, 2 to 3 minutes (you will know it's time to add more stock when you move the rice aside and no liquid pools in the center).
• Repeat this process, adding more stock a ladleful at a time, until the rice is al dente, 17 to 19 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. (You may have a little stock left over. If so, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.) If you prefer your risotto on the saucier side, add more stock 1/4 cup at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
• Stir in the Parmesan, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon salt and a few more grinds of black pepper and serve with more Parmesan, if desired.
