Creamy Risotto With Turnips Recipes

Steps:

• In a 3-quart heavy saucepan cook bacon over moderate heat until crisp and golden and transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Reserve 1 tablespoon fat in pan. Chop onion. Peel turnips and cut into 1/4-inch dice (if using greens, cut into 1/4-inch-wide slices and chop stems). In a saucepan bring broth to a simmer and keep at a bare simmer.
• Heat reserved fat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté onion, stirring, until just beginning to soften. Stir in turnips (and greens if using) and rice and sauté, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Stir in 1 cup simmering broth and cook, stirring constantly and keeping at a strong simmer, until absorbed. Continue simmering and adding broth, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and letting each addition be absorbed before adding next, until rice is tender and creamy-looking but still al dente, about 18 minutes total.
• Crumble bacon. Serve risotto sprinkled with bacon and garnished with Parmesan.

Steps:

• Heat chicken stock in a medium saucepan. Keep hot during preparation.
• Heat the butter and oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallots, and saute, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Do not brown. Add the rice, and stir to coat. Cook rice, stirring frequently, until well coated and grains start to appear translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the white wine, and stir constantly until it has evaporated, about 2 minutes.
• Add 1 cup of the hot stock, and cook, stirring constantly, until almost all of the liquid has evaporated. Then add hot stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until each addition is absorbed before adding the next (reserve about 1/2 cup stock for serving). Cook until rice is tender but still firm in the center (a total of 20 to 25 minutes).
• Remove pan from heat, and stir in 2 teaspoons lemon zest, 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Add some of the remaining stock a little at a time to reach desired consistency (it should be fairly loose). Serve immediately, garnished with additional lemon zest, if desired, and Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Set Sun Oven out to preheat. Put the turnips in a medium pot. Add enough water to just barely cover. Put a lid on the pot and cook the turnips in the Sun Oven until soft, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove the pot from the Sun Oven. Leave the Sun Oven out. Drain the turnips, reserving cooking water. Mash turnips with a potato masher. Set aside. Add enough broth to the cooking water to measure 3 cups. Bring broth mixture to a boil in a small sauce pan, reduce heat, and keep the broth very hot. Heat the butter in a large pot over medium high heat. Add the onion and sauté until softened. Add the sage leaves and then the rice, stirring constantly until the grains are coated with butter, about 2 minutes. Add the wine, stir constantly until evaporated. Add the hot broth, stir well, cover and transfer to the preheated Sun Oven. Cook until the broth has been absorbed, it will still be slightly soupy. Remove pot from the Sun Oven. Find and discard the sage leaves. Stir in the Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat water and broth in 2-quart saucepan over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in large saucepan over medium heat; add onion and cook until soft. Add rice and stir 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine; stir until absorbed. Increase heat to medium-high; stir in 1 cup water-broth mixture. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, until liquid is absorbed. Continue stirring and adding remaining water-broth mixture, 1 cup at a time, allowing each cup to be absorbed before adding another. Cook until rice is tender and mixture has a creamy consistency, approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
• Stir in cream, cheese, salt, pepper and remaining butter. Stir until mixture is creamy, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
