Rarebit Risotto image

I've adapted this recipe from the Moosewood Simple Suppers cookbook, and it always gets rave reviews! Beer and cheddar may not sound like ideal risotto ingredients, but I guarantee it'll be love at first bite! I often substitute mushroom stock for the vegetable broth, which gives this dish a warm earthy flavor.

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups vegetable broth (low sodium preferred)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
12 ounces beer (I prefer a lager or ale)
3 cups chopped broccoli florets
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
2 cups chopped roma tomatoes
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring vegetable broth to a gentle simmer.
  • In a medium dutch oven (or large sauce pan), heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add rice and stir till well coated and golden. Add beer and stir till rice has absorbed all the liquid.
  • Ladle in a cup or so of the stock and continue stirring till liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Repeat till all broth has been absorbed (stirring constantly).
  • While risotto is cooking, steam broccoli until bright green and just tender (I just pop it in a bowl, sprinkle with water, and microwave for a minute or so).
  • When the last of the broth is absorbed, add mustard and cheese and stir till cheese is melted and well combined with risotto. Stir in broccoli and tomatoes and sever immediately. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
