THE ONLY BASIC RISOTTO RECIPE YOU’LL ... - COOKING LIGHT



The Only Basic Risotto Recipe You’ll ... - Cooking Light image

There’s a reason so many restaurants put risotto on their menus: It’s not a dish most people attempt to cook at home. Risotto has a reputation for being fussy—and that’s not totally untrue. The dish requires a little attention and stirring, but at its core, it’s really just rice and broth. And when those two simple ingredients come together, they create a creamy, almost magical dish that’s well worth the effort. With a solid formula like the one below, you’ll be able to tackle any risotto recipe and have a gorgeous meal on the table in about 30 minutes.

Provided by Jennifer Kushnier

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

32 ounces unsalted chicken stock, warmed (you can also substitute vegetable broth or stock)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup Arborio rice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino-Romano cheese

Steps:

  • Bring stock to a simmer in a saucepan over medium. Reduce heat and keep warm. Melt the butter and heat the oil in a large skillet or wide-bottomed pot. Add the rice; stir to coat all the grains, 1 minute. Add 1 ladle of broth (½ cup to ¾ cup), stir, and leave it alone until broth is nearly absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes. (Run a wooden spoon through it; rice should slowly fill in the channel.)  Stir, add another ladle of broth, and stir again. Cook undisturbed until the broth is absorbed, 3 minutes. Repeat until about 1 ladle of broth remains, 15 to 18 minutes of total cook time for the rice. Turn off heat.  Add salt, remaining broth, and cheese. Stir gently for 2 minutes. Serve immediately in warmed bowls, with more grated cheese over top, if desired.

TOFU AND BROCCOLI FRIED RICE RECIPE - NYT COOKING
Fried rice is the perfect weeknight meal: It requires minimal prep, simple pantry condiments and basic vegetables. Not to mention, it comes together quickly. Here, otherwise mild tofu is transformed into savory bites when cooked in soy sauce infused with aromatics, absorbing all of the rich, sweet-salty flavor and bringing depth to the dish. The rice seasonings are kept simple and bright with garlic and ginger, which allows the vegetables to shine. Use any mix of leftover vegetables: Cabbage, bell peppers and mushrooms are all great alternatives.
