Ham And Artichoke Risotto Recipes

ARTICHOKE RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the artichoke hearts and reduce the heat to medium high. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, or until the hearts are beginning to brown. Remove to a plate and set aside.
• To the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the butter and the shallots and cook for 1 minute, stirring regularly. Add the rice and salt and stir with a wooden spoon to coat all the kernels with oil. Continue to cook for 3 minutes, or until the rice is sizzling. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until it is almost completely absorbed. Now begin adding the chicken broth, one cup at a time, stirring frequently between additions. After the first cup is almost entirely absorbed, add the next cup. Continue in this way until the rice is cooked through and you have a creamy risotto, about 20 minutes in all. (The risotto should be slightly loose, not dry; it should run off your spoon. If it gets too dry, add a bit more broth.) Stir in the peas, feta, chives, mint and black pepper. Gently stir in the artichoke hearts and the lemon juice. Serve.

RISOTTO WITH PEAS AND HAM

Steps:

• Heat the broth and garlic in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming; keep warm. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add the leek and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rice; cook, stirring, until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the wine and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until absorbed, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add 3 cups hot broth to the rice; cook, stirring constantly, until mostly absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 3 more cups hot broth; continue cooking, stirring, until the risotto is tender and thickened, 12 to 14 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low and stir in the peas, ham, cheese and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in more hot broth if the risotto is too thick; season with salt and pepper. Top each serving with mint, more cheese and the lemon zest.

HAM AND ARTICHOKE RISOTTO

Steps:

• Pull away the dark green outer leaves of the artichoke until you reach the yellow inner leaves. Cut one to two inches off the top of the artichoke, eliminating all prickly parts. Cut the base in half vertically. With a sharp knife, cut away the fuzzy choke and any remaining little leaves. Cut each half into thin slices and place in small bowl of water into which you have squeezed the lemon half.
• Bring the chicken stock to a simmer on top of the stove. Meanwhile, heat the butter and oil in a heavy skillet and cook the onion and garlic until the onion is soft. Drain the artichoke slices, pat them dry and saute for two to three minutes.
• Add the rice and saute, stirring for one to two minutes, making sure the grains are coated with the butter and oil. Add the wine and stir it until it is absorbed. Add the hot broth one-half cup at a time, stirring frequently. Do not add the next cup before the previous one is completely absorbed.
• When the rice is almost done (it should be creamy but al dente) add the ham and Parmesan cheese. Season to taste and Serve at once.

ARTICHOKE RISOTTO

Steps:

• Using a large saucepan over medium heat, heat oil and margarine. Saute 1/2 of the onion until tender. Add rice and cook until lightly browned, stirring to prevent rice from burning.
• When rice is browned, pour in soy milk and apple juice. When the liquid is absorbed gradually pour in vegetable stock, about 1/2 cup at a time until this is absorbed, reserving about 1/4 cup of stock. Cover saucepan and cook for approximately 20 minutes or until rice is tender.

RISOTTO WITH ARTICHOKE HEARTS, PROSCIUTTO, AND RED BELL PEPPER

Steps:

• In a small saucepan dilute the broth with 2 cups water, bring it to a boil, and keep the broth at a bare simmer. In a heavy saucepan cook the bell pepper and the artichoke hearts in 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderate heat, stirring, for 2 minutes and transfer them with a slotted spoon to a bowl. In the heavy pan cook the onion in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until it is softened, stir in the prosciutto and the rice with a wooden spatula, and cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring, for 1 minute, or until the rice is coated well with the oil. Add the wine and cook the mixture over moderately high heat, stirring, for 1 to 3 minutes, or until the wine is absorbed, add 1/2 cup of the simmering broth, and cook the mixture at a vigorous simmer, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed. Continue adding the broth, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and letting each portion be absorbed before adding the next, until only 1/2 cup of the broth remains. Stir in the vegetables and 1/3 cup of the remaining broth and simmer the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute, or until the liquid is absorbed.

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the Parmesan, the parsley, and the white pepper.
