Garlic And Roasted Tomato Risotto Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C.
• Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.
• Place the cherry tomato halves in a single layer on lined tray.
• Place garlic on tray.
• Drizzle the tomatoes with 1 tsp of the oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Roast tomatoes and garlic in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until tomatoes shrivel around edges and garlic is soft.
• Remove from oven and squeeze garlic from skin, chop roughly and place in a small bowl.
• Set aside.
• Bring the stock just to the boil in a saucepan.
• Reduce heat and hold the stock at a gentle simmer.
• Heat remaining oil in a medium heavy-based saucepan over medium heat.
• Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes or until onion is soft and light golden.
• Add the rice and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until lightly coated with oil.
• Add a ladleful of the simmering stock to the rice and use a wooden spoon to stir constantly over medium-low heat until the liquid is completely absorbed.
• Continue to add the stock, a small ladleful (about ¼ cup) at a time, stirring constantly, and allow liquid to be absorbed before adding the next ladleful.
• Cook until rice is tender yet firm to the bite and risotto is creamy.
• Start tasting after about 15 minutes- it will probably take about 20-25 minutes to cook and should be moist and creamy when finished.
• Remove the risotto from the heat and add the garlic, basil and parmesan, and stir gently to combine.
• Taste and season with salt (if needed) and pepper.
• Add the tomatoes and fold through the rice gently.
• Spoon into serving bowls and serve immediately sprinkled with a little extra pepper.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it slides easily across pan bottom. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 15 minutes. Add rice, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring, until rice is heated through and slightly translucent, about 1 minute.
• Add enough stock to almost cover rice, about 2 cups. Simmer, stirring frequently, until rice has absorbed stock, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, garlic, and another cup of stock. Cook, stirring, until rice looks dry, then add another cup of stock. Continue gradually adding stock, cooking, and stirring, until rice is tender and creamy, about 25 minutes. Stir in butter and cheese, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
• Rinse chicken bones or chicken parts well. Remove the fat and skin if any, and place into a pot with just enough hot water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and let boil for about 2 minutes. Drain the chicken and discard the water (this will not remove flavor, just the blood and much of the coagulated proteins that cause scum). Return the chicken to the pot, cover with fresh water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and gently simmer stock for about 1 hour, skimming whenever fat or scum accumulates on the surface. Add more hot water, if necessary, to keep the level consistent.
• After 1 hour simmering, add onion, carrot, celery, leeks, bay leaf, and peppercorns. Simmer for 15 minutes. Add parsley and thyme and simmer for an additional 15 minutes. Take pot off heat and strain stock. Cool, and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 4 months.
• Yield: approximately 12 cups stock
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut tomatoes in half cross-wise (through the equator), then place tomatoes, garlic cloves, and olive oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix gently. Line 2 large, rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Place tomato halves on baking sheets, cut side down, and pour any olive oil left in bowl over them. Divide garlic and thyme evenly between baking sheets. Bake until tomato skins loosen, about 20 minutes.
• Remove and discard tomato skins. Pour any juices that have accumulated into a bowl and reserve. Return tomatoes to oven and reduce temperature to 275 degrees. Continue roasting, periodically pouring off and reserving juices, until tomatoes are slightly shrunken and appear cooked and concentrated but not yet dry, 3 or 4 hours more.
• Remove tomatoes from oven and allow them to cool on baking sheets. Discard thyme. Transfer tomatoes and garlic to separate containers. Store tomatoes, garlic cloves, and reserved tomato juices in refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
• Yield: 40 roasted tomato halves, approximately 20 roasted garlic cloves, and 1 to 3 cups roasted tomato juice
• Colicchio: "A white chicken stock is the first step toward making brown chicken stock; it also has many uses of its own."
• "Roasting intensifies the flavor of even less-than-spectacular tomatoes, in case local greenmarket varieties are unavailable...The leftover roasted garlic, incidentally, has a creamy, mellow flavor not found in the raw vegetable and makes a great spread on a piece of crusty bread."

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice the top off the head of garlic. Put it on a large square of aluminum foil and drizzle 1 teaspoon of the extra-virgin olive oil over the exposed cloves. Wrap the foil around and over the garlic. Roast until it is soft, about 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• Pour the 2 cans of broth into a saucepan, over low heat, and add 3 cans of water. Bring to a simmer.
• In a large, heavy bottomed skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute for 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook until the mushrooms release their juices, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and cook for 1 minute to toast.
• Add 2 ladles full of hot broth to the pan and gently stir the rice. Cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Adjust the heat so that the pan is just gently bubbling. Continue adding broth and stirring until all the broth is used and the rice is cooked but not mushy, about 20 to 25 minutes. Once the rice has absorbed all the liquid and is nice and creamy, stir in the butter, Parmesan and the garlic pulp. Cover and let rest for 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot.
• Reserve 3 cups for the round 2 recipe, Risotto Cakes.
• In a large bowl add the leftover risotto, eggs, corn, bread crumbs, and Parmesan and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Mix to combine well. Form into 12 balls about the size of a walnut, then flatten into patties and arrange on a baking sheet.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook until they are golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the patties from the oil to a baking sheet lined with a brown bag or paper towels to drain the excess oil. Transfer to a serving tray and serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place a piece of aluminum foil over a baking sheet.
• Place the tomatoes and garlic into a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and toss until evenly coated. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then spread evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake the grape tomatoes in the preheated oven until the skins pop and start to brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Bring broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan; keep warm over medium-low heat until ready to use.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large saucepan over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until golden and very soft, 8-10 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring often, until it darkens slightly and begins to stick to pan, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and nutmeg, if using, and cook, stirring occasionally, until some of the tomatoes begin to burst, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in rice; season with salt, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring, until some grains are translucent, about 3 minutes. Ladle in 2 cups broth and simmer, stirring frequently, until completely absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Ladle in another 2 cups broth and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until rice is cooked through and most of the broth is absorbed, 12-15 minutes.
• Add butter, 2 oz. Parmesan, and remaining 1 cup broth and cook, stirring constantly, until risotto is very creamy looking, about 4 minutes. Taste and season with more salt if needed. Divide risotto among bowls. Top with shaved Parmesan and lots of pepper and drizzle with more oil.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300. Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet, cut side up. Brush with olive oil, scatter a few slivers of garlic on each, season with salt and pepper and place a piece of thyme sprig on top of each. Bake 3 hours. Discard thyme. Chop tomatoes and garlic.
• Place a 3-quart saucepan on medium heat, add pancetta and cook until fat starts to render and pancetta barely begins to brown. Add onion and sauté until soft but not brown. Stir in rice and cook a couple of minutes, until grains whiten a bit. Place stock in a separate saucepan on very low heat.
• Add wine to rice and onions, stir and cook just until it is absorbed. Start adding warm stock, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring and adding more as it is absorbed. When 3 cups of the stock have been used, fold in tomatoes and sage. Season with salt and pepper. Risotto should be almost al dente. Continue cooking about 5 minutes more, adding a little more stock or some water if needed until rice is just done. Divide among 4 to 6 warm plates, top each with cheese and serve.

Steps:

• To make the sauce, put the rack in the centre of the oven and preheat the broiler to high.
• Smash the tomatoes by hand and put them and their juice in a large bowl.
• Add the peppers, garlic, oil, vinegar and rosemary.
• Season with salt and pepper and mix the ingredients well.
• Pour out into a shallow baking pan and place the pan on the middle rack of the oven under the broiler for 15 minutes.
• Give the mixture a good stir and cook for another 15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
• Puree the mixture in a food processor.
• Put aside 1-1/2 cups to make the pasta and freeze the remainder for future use.
• To make the pasta, bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.
• Add the pastina and cook for half the time recommended on the package. The pasta should still be very firm in the centre as it will cook more.
• Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta, rinse with cold water, and drain again.
• Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil to keep the pasta from sticking together.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over high heat.
• Add the garlic and saute until browned.
• Add the oregano and cook briefly to release its fragrance, then add 1-1/2 cups water.
• Bring the liquid to a boil, add the partially cooked pasta, and stir to coat.
• Add the chicken broth, season with salt and pepper, and simmer until all the liquid has been absorbed, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the Roasted Tomato and Pepper Sauce and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, then stir in the spinach to wilt.
• Thin, if desired, with some of the reserved pasta water.
• Remove from the heat, place in serving bowls and sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
• Serve warm.
