Lemon Risotto With Bacon Mushroom Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a deep frying pan and cook the onion and bacon for 5 mins to soften. Add the mushrooms and cook for a further 5 mins until they start to release their juices. Stir in the rice and cook until all the juices have been absorbed.
• Add the stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring well and waiting for most of the stock to be absorbed before adding the next ladleful - it will take about 20 mins for all the stock to be added. Once the rice is cooked, season and serve with the grated Parmesan.

Steps:

• Sautee onion in butter until soft.
• Stir in lemon zest.
• Add rice to onion mixture.
• Stir well to coat all grains of rice.
• Adjust heat to low-medium.
• Add 1/2 cup of broth plus 2 Tbsp lemon juice.
• Broth should simmer, reduce and thicken.
• Add another 1/2 cup of broth.
• Stir until absorbed.
• Add another 1/2 cup of broth and repeat process with remainder of broth and then water- 1/2 cup at a time.
• If necessary, add more water.
• When rice is done (tender but not mushy), remove from heat and stir in parmesan cheese and parsley.
• Season with salt, pepper and the remainder of lemon juice.
• Serve with grated parmesan on top.

Steps:

• In a small pot combine lemon juice and stock and bring to a simmer.
• Keep covered with a lid so it does not evaporate all away.
• Lightly spray olive oil in another large heavy based pot.
• Add the onion and bacon and cook over a medium heat until onion is softened.
• Add arborio rice and cook over medium heat until rice warms for about 5 minutes (don't allow to brown).
• Add 1 cup of the hot lemon stock to the rice, stirring well with a wooden spoon.
• Once the stock has absorbed, add the mushrooms and another cup of hot stock.
• Stir well and wait until the stock has been absorbed before adding another cup of the hot stock.
• Repeat the above step until all the stock has been absorbed (adjust consistency with more/less water or stock if required).
• Remove from heat and stir in parmesan cheese.
• Cover with lid and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat the stock and 2 cups water over medium low heat.
• In a risotto pot or large skillet with a rounded bottom, heat the extra-virgin olive oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic to pan and saute to soften 3 to 4 minutes Stir in the rice and add the zest of 1 lemon. Heat the rice for 1 to 2 minutes, then add the wine and cook until evaporated. Add in the hot stock, a few ladles at a time, and stir for a minute with each addition, to develop the starch and the creamy aspect. Total cooking time will be about 18 minutes or so. Keep adding stock each time the pan starts to become dry at the edges. While the rice cooks, peel and supreme or section the flesh of a lemon and finely chop. Sprinkle with a 1/2 teaspoon sugar. When rice is cooked to al dente, stir in the butter, lemon sections, juice of 1 lemon, the cheese and herbs. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan bring the broth and 1/2 cup water to a simmer. Cover the broth and keep hot over low heat.
• In a medium, heavy saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add the shallot and saute until tender but not brown, about 3 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat with the butter. Add the wine and simmer until the wine has almost completely evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the simmering broth and stir until almost completely absorbed, about 2 minutes. Continue cooking the rice, adding the broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition of the broth to absorb before adding the next, until the rice is tender but still firm to the bite and the mixture is creamy, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter, 2 tablespoons of Parmesan, mascarpone cheese, the lemon zest and juice, and the salt and pepper.
• To serve, cut 1/4-inch off the bottom of each lemon so they stand on their own. Take 1-inch off the stem end. Using a grapefruit spoon scoop out the flesh of the lemon and discard. Fill each lemon with about 1/2 cup of risotto. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring the chicken stock to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium heat.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a separate large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and a touch of salt and cook, stirring often, until the onion is tender, about 8 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook until evaporated, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Add 1 cup simmering chicken stock to the rice and cook, stirring constantly, until absorbed. Repeat, adding the stock 1 cup at a time, until the rice is al dente and creamy in texture, about 20 minutes. (You might not use all of the stock.)
• When the rice is al dente, remove from the heat and stir in the cheese, chives and lemon juice. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil.
• Divide the risotto among shallow bowls. Drizzle with olive oil, top with the lemon zest and more chives, and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Wash the leeks well and slice. Wipe the mushrooms and slice.
• Heat the olive oil in a saute pan. Add the leeks and mushrooms, cooking over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Remove vegetables from pan and set aside.
• Add 2 tablespoons of the butter to the pan and saute the onion over medium heat for approximately 5 minutes.
• Stir in the arborio rice and cook for 1 minute. Add one cupful of fresh stock to the pan and cook gently, stirring occasionally; until all liquid is absorbed.
• Continue stirring in one cupful of stock at a time, until each cupful is absorbed. This should take about 25 minutes. The risotto should by the end turn thick and creamy; the rice tender but not sticky.
• Just before serving, stir in the leeks and mushrooms, the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, lemon juice and zest, half of the cheese, and the fresh herbs.
• Adjust seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top, garnish with herb sprigs and lemon wedges. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Bring broth to simmer in large saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low; cover to keep warm. Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter with oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until tender, about 6 minutes. Add rice; stir 1 minute. Add wine and stir until evaporated, about 30 seconds. Add 1 1/2 cups hot broth; simmer until absorbed, stirring frequently. Add remaining broth 1/2 cup at a time, allowing broth to be absorbed before adding more and stirring frequently until rice is creamy and tender, about 35 minutes. Stir in cheese and remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in parsley, lemon juice, and lemon peel. Season risotto with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl and serve.

Steps:

• Pour 2/3 cup hot water over porcini in a heatproof cup and let stand until softened, about 10 minutes. Lift porcini out of water, squeezing excess liquid back into cup, and rinse well to remove any grit. Coarsely chop porcini. Pour soaking liquid through a paper-towel-lined sieve into a glass measure and reserve.
• Meanwhile, bring broth and remaining 2 cups hot water to a simmer. Keep at a bare simmer, covered.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté cremini, stirring, until browned, about 7 minutes. Add porcini and reserved soaking liquid to skillet and boil, stirring, 1 minute. Remove from heat.
• Cook onion in 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add rice and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Add wine and simmer, stirring constantly, until absorbed.
• Stir in 1/2 cup simmering broth mixture and cook at a strong simmer, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed. Continue simmering and adding broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently and letting each addition become absorbed before adding the next, until rice is tender but still al dente and creamy (it should be the consistency of a thick soup), 18 minutes. (There will be leftover broth.)
• Stir in zest, mushrooms, remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, parmesan, parsley, and pepper to taste. (If necessary, thin risotto with some of remaining broth.) Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring the broth to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat; reduce heat to low and cover to keep warm.
• Melt 1 1/2 TBS butter with the olive oil in a large heavy sauce pan over medium heat.
• Add shallots to this and saute until tender, (3-5 minutes).
• Add rice and stir for 1 minute.
• Add wine and stir until evaporated, about 30 seconds.
• Add 1 1/2 cups hot broth, and simmer until absorbed, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
• Ladle in the remaining broth, 1/2 cup at a time, allowing broth to be absorbed before adding more, and stirring frequently until rice is creamy and tender.
• You will use all the broth, and the key is to do this simmering slowly; it will take about 35-40 minutes.
• When all the broth has been absorbed, stir in the cheese and remaining 2 TBS butter.
• Stir in the parsley, lemon juice, and zest.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve.

Steps:

• In a 5-quart Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the onion and cook 3-4 minutes until soft and slightly transparent.
• Add the bacon and stir constantly until it starts to crisp.
• Add the mushrooms and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
• Add the arborio rice and cook for one minute, stirring constantly so the oil coats the grains.
• Stir in the white wine and simmer 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add one cup (235ml) of the chicken stock and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Once the rice absorbs most of the liquid, continue to add 1-2 cups (235-470ml) of stock at a time until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked through, about 25-30 minutes total.
• NOTE: The risotto should be al dente and fall back in on itself when you run the spoon along the bottom of the pot.
• Stir in the Parmesan cheese and remove from the heat.
• Serve and garnish with extra Parmesan cheese.
• Enjoy!
