LEEK AND SCALLION RISOTTO
This one comes from Lidia Matticchio Bastianich, who demonstrated it on "Victory Garden" (the PBS show). I didn't see the show, but ate this last night at my friend Marcia's house -- it was UNBELIEVABLE. This was fabulous! So good that four hours later, when my husband and I were falling asleep, I heard him murmur, "That was really great risotto ..." Marcia says it makes a lot and it freezes beautifully -- just add a bit of chicken broth and pop it in the microwave to warm it up. This will absolutely become a staple at our house, calories or no!

Steps:
- Thoroughly clean the leeks and cut into half-rounds, about 1/8" wide. Use as much of the green as you can.
- Thoroughly wash scallions and cut into 1/2" pieces, also using as much of the green as you can.
- In a heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and shallots and cook, stirring often, until they are tender (about 8 minutes).
- Add the rice and stir to coat with oil; cook until rice begins to become translucent (just a minute or two).
- Pour in the wine and stir until evaporated.
- Add leeks and 1/2 cup of hot stock, as well as 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until all the stock has been absorbed.
- Continue to add the hot stock in small batches -- a quarter cup or so, just to moisten rice -- until broth has been absorbed. (My friend Marcia's husband says this takes him an hour, but it looked more like 30 minutes to me, as we watched him cook.) Keep the heat at a temperature where rice simmers very gently.
- In the last five minutes, add the scallions.
- When all the stock has been absorbed, remove the rice from the heat. Add the butter and stir until it is completely melted. Add the gorgonzola cheese and stir until thoroughly incorporated. Add half of the grated parmesan reggiano, and adjust salt and pepper as (or if) necessary.
- Serve while warm, with remaining grated parmesan.

Steps:
- Warm the chicken broth in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cover and keep warm while you make the risotto.
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the pancetta to a paper-towel lined plate.
- Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the rendered fat from the saucepan, then add the garlic, leek, a pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the leek is tender and softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the rice, butter and bay leaf. Cook, stirring, until the rice is toasted, smells nutty and turns a light golden brown, about 4 minutes. Pour in the wine and simmer, stirring occasionally, until it is completely absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Ladle 1/2 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, 15 to 17 minutes. Discard the bay leaf.
- Stir in the baby spinach, Parmesan, half of the reserved pancetta, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a couple grinds of pepper. Stir until the spinach is wilted and everything is evenly combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Spoon into 2 dinner bowls and top with the remaining pancetta and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
LEEK RISOTTO RECIPE
Leek Risotto is a very simple-to-make Italian recipe, light and nutritious. The leeks, browned in butter, are extremely fragrant and give the risotto a very delicate flavor. Leek Risotto is a dish of humble and poor origins. But nowadays people think of it as refined for its delicacy and lightness. Leek Risotto is an ancient dish of the peasant Italian tradition. It has become a classic dish, especially of Piedmontese cuisine. In fact, Piedmont region produces the best Italian qualities of leek and rice.

Steps:
- Make a vegetable stock and set aside. Then clean the leeks. Remove the dark green part of the leek and the last part with the roots. Then remove even the hardest outer leaf, which you can add to the stock for more flavor.
- Cut the leeks into rings. In a large saucepan, pour 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and half a dose of butter. Turn on the heat and when the butter has melted, add the rings of leeks, a pinch of salt and a ladle of vegetable stock. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the rice and mix well. Then add the white wine and let the it evaporate.
- add hot vegetable stock, very little at a time stirring constantly. Let it cook for about 15 minutes. At the end turn off the heat and add Parmigiano cheese and the remaining butter. Mix well for a creamy leek risotto. If you like, add some freshly ground black pepper. Serve leek risotto immediately hot with a little more grated Parmigiano cheese to taste.

LEEK RISOTTO WITH SUGAR SNAP PEAS AND PANCETTA
Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to stir risotto constantly, but achieving a creamy risotto with slightly toothsome grains does require some attention. During the cooking process, the rice should always be lightly coated in liquid and bubbling energetically, and the liquid needs to be added gradually: Add just before the rice threatens to stick to the bottom of the pan. For the creamiest results, stir more frequently and more vigorously during the second half of the cooking, when the grains begin to release their starch.

Steps:
- Add 1/2 tablespoon oil to a large, wide saucepan, and add the pancetta slices. (It's OK if they're not in one layer, as they will shrink quite a bit.) Turn heat to medium and cook, turning and rearranging the pancetta until lightly browned, crisp, and the fat has rendered, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer with tongs to a paper towel, leaving the fat in the pan.
- Add the stock and 1 cup water to a separate medium saucepan. Transfer the saucepan to a back burner and bring to a simmer over low. Keep warm on the lowest heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan that you cooked the pancetta in, and add the leeks, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, over medium-high until wilted and soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the rice and cook, stirring, until grains look slightly translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine and cook until nearly absorbed, about 1 minute.
- Add a ladleful of stock to the rice - you want just enough to barely cover the surface of the rice. Cook at a lively simmer, stirring very frequently, until it's nearly absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes. Continue adding stock in this way until rice is very creamy, but still al dente, 15 to 20 minutes total. You may not need all of the liquid, but you will probably use most of it.
- Stir in the butter and cheese, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the snap peas. Add more of the remaining liquid if needed to loosen (it should be a bit soupy), and divide among four shallow bowls. Crumble the reserved pancetta over top, and sprinkle with chives, if desired.

Steps:
- Bring stock to a bare simmer in a medium saucepan, then keep at a bare simmer.
- Whisk together 2 tablespoons oil, lemon juice, scallion, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl to make vinaigrette.
- Cook leeks in 2 tablespoons oil in a 4-quart heavy pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Add remaining tablespoon oil and rice to pot and cook, stirring constantly, until rice is coated evenly, about 1 minute. Add wine and briskly simmer, stirring, until most has been absorbed, about 1 minute.
- Add 1 cup hot stock and briskly simmer, stirring constantly, until stock has been absorbed. Continue simmering and adding hot stock, 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding the next, until 1 cup stock is left, 15 to 18 minutes. Add peas, leeks, and remaining cup stock and cook, stirring, until rice is just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in butter and cheese, then remove from heat.
- When last cup of stock has been added to risotto, heat grill pan over high heat until hot. 3When risotto is done, season squid with 1/8 teaspoon salt and oil grill pan. Grill squid, pressing down with a spatula and turning halfway through, until opaque and just cooked through, about 1 minute total. Toss with enough lemon vinaigrette to coat.
- Serve risotto topped with calamari and drizzled with any remaining lemon vinaigrette.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, bring the broth to a boil; lower the heat and keep at a scant simmer.
- Meanwhile, in a large saute pan (see note) heat 4 tablespoons of the butter and cook the white parts of the scallions, stirring until they're soft, about 2 minutes. Add the rice, stirring with a wooden spoon, until all the grains are coated with butter. Add the wine and cook the mixture at a low simmer, stirring until all the wine is absorbed, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup of the simmering broth and continue to simmer the mixture, stirring until the broth is absorbed. Keep adding broth by the 1/2 cup and repeating as above until the rice is creamy and al dente The rice may not absorb all the broth, so it's best to taste the mixture before adding the last 1/2 cup.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the green scallion tops, cheese and white pepper.

LEEK RISOTTO
Creamy italian rice dish that is served as a main course. This is a reduced fat version. I have reduced the amount of oil and cheese used, but you can also sprinkle parmesan over the top once it's served. We make this at least one a week. It's wonderful!
