Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
½ large sweet onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 ½ cups Arborio rice
½ cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
5 cups hot chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
3 cups cooked broccoli florets
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 ½ tablespoons grated Asiago cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil and butter in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion begins to turn golden brown at the edges, about 2 minutes. Pour in the rice, and stir until the rice is coated in oil and has started to toast, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the white wine and lemon juice.
  • Cook and stir until the wine has mostly evaporated, then stir in one third of the chicken broth; continue stirring until incorporated. Repeat this process twice more, stirring constantly. Stirring in the broth should take 15 to 20 minutes in all. Stir in the cream, and cook 5 minutes before stirring in the broccoli, chives, Parmesan cheese, and Asiago cheese. Cook and stir until the risotto is hot; season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

BROCCOLI RISOTTO

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     side dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 bunch broccoli
3 cups (approximately) chicken stock or vegetable stock
2 tablespoons olive oil or unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon finely minced fresh sage or 1/2 teaspoon dried
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Remove the flowerets from the broccoli, divide them into small pieces and steam about three minutes, until just tender and bright green. Rinse under cold water, drain and set aside.
  • Chop enough of the stems to make one cup, place in a small saucepan with about two-and-a-half cups of water and simmer until very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, reserving the cooking liquid. Puree the chopped broccoli in a food processor.
  • Add enough chicken or vegetable stock to the cooking liquid to make five cups, place this stock in a saucepan and bring to a slow simmer.
  • Heat the oil or butter in a heavy saucepan. Add the onion and saute until the onion is tender but not brown. Stir in the rice and cook, stirring, about five minutes. Stir in the broccoli puree and season with salt and pepper and sage.
  • Begin adding the simmering stock, about a half-cup at a time, stirring and adding additional stock as the liquid is absorbed by the rice. After about 20 minutes nearly all the liquid should have been added. The rice should be just tender with a bit of resistance in the middle and the mixture should be creamy, not quite liquid. Stir in the reserved broccoli flowerets, check seasonings and serve with Parmesan cheese.
