Chris Kimballs Crockpot Parmesan Risotto Recipes

CHRIS KIMBALL'S CROCKPOT PARMESAN RISOTTO

Steps:

• Coat slow cooker with vegetable oil spray. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in 12_inch skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in rice and cook, stirring often, until ends of rice kernels are transparent, about 3 minutes. Stir in wine and cook until fully absorbed, about 1 minute; transfer to slow cooker.
• Bring broth and water to boil in saucepan. Stir 3 cups hot broth mixture into slow cooker. Cover and cook until rice is tender, about 2 hours on high.
• Return reserved broth mixture to boil. Slowly stream 2 cups more hot broth mixture into slow cooker, stirring gently, until liquid is absorbed and risotto is creamy, about 1 minute.
• Gently stir in Parmesan, chives, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and lemon juice. (Adjust risotto consistency with additional hot broth mixture as needed.) Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve. (This dish does not hold well on warm setting.).

RISOTTO WITH PARMIGIANO-REGGIANO IN A CROCK POT

Steps:

• Heat the basil oil in a saute pan over medium heat and saute the shallots until they have softened.
• Lightly coat the insert of crock pot with some extra basil olive oil.
• Add the sauted shallots and basil oil to the crockpot insert.
• Add the rice and coat it with the mixture.
• Stir in the wine.
• Stir in the chicken broth.
• Add the salt.
• Cover and cook on high for about 2 hours or until all the liquid is absorbed.
• Just before serving, stir in the cheese.
• Have extra grated cheese to put on top of each serving.
• If I was going to add shrimp, chicken, corn, salmon etc.
• ,I would add it after the cheese had been stirred in, allowing just enough time to warm up the item but not to overcook it.

CROCKPOT APPLE RISOTTO

Steps:

• Dice/mince the apples and sweat them in a skillet along with the butter, cinnamon, allspice, and salt until they release their juices (3-5 min or so). I like to use my food processor for this step, so they're more minced than diced.
• Depending on your crockpot, you may want to coat it in a nonstick spray.
• Mix everything together in the crock put, set on high, and let cook for 2.5-3 hours or until all the liquid is gone.

SLOW COOKER RISOTTO

Steps:

• Mix chicken broth, rice, olive oil, wine, garlic, onion flakes, salt, and black pepper in a slow cooker. Cook on High for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Stir in Parmesan cheese; cook uncovered until Parmesan cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
