Pineapple Coconut Risotto Recipes

Steps:

• In small sauce pot, combine poineapple juice, coconut milk, and chicken broth. Bring to simmer, and keep warm.
• Melt butter in larger stock pot.
• Add onion and cook on medium heat until translucent.
• Add rice and stir until butter is absorbed (about 3 minutes).
• Stirring constantly, add about 1/2c of the liquid to the rice.
• Stir until most of the liquid is absorbed.
• Add another 1/2c addition of liquid, and stir until liquid is mostly absorbed.
• Continue adding liquid 1/2 cup at a time, until rice is tender.
• Not all arborio rice is the same. Liquid amounts may be more or less than the 3 cups. Risotto is done when the rice is soft and creamy, with a little bite in the center of each grain. This will take about 20 minutes to achieve.
• When rice is cooked, stir in parmesan cheese and pineapple.
• season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Season the veal cheeks with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and then add enough oil to lightly coat the skillet. Let the oil heat, and then add the veal to the pan, and sear it on all sides until browned.
• In a Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, cook the bacon slowly over low heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and ginger, and cook for 4 minutes. Add the wine, soy sauce, and pineapple skin, and bring to a boil. Add the veal stock, and return to a boil. Add the seared veal cheeks, and place pot in the oven to braise for 2 1/2 hours.
• Closer to serving time, make the risotto. In a medium saucepot, sweat the remaining diced onion in 2 to 3 tablespoons butter for 2 minutes over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low. Add the risotto rice, and stir with a wooden spoon to coat it in the butter. Slowly add the chicken broth in 2 equal additions, not adding the second addition until the first has been almost completely absorbed. Stir constantly during the entire process. After all of the chicken broth has been absorbed, add the coconut milk, and then add enough of the braising liquid until the risotto is cooked to your taste. Fold in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, papaya, tomato, and herbs. Serve immediately.
• Place the risotto in the center of a plate and place 2 veal cheeks on top. Garnish parsnip chips or fried shallots, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line a deep baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Add the rice, vegetable stock, coconut milk, salt, and pepper to a medium bowl and toss it around with your hands until all the rice is coated. Pour the mixture into the foil lined baking sheet. Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Put the pan in the oven and bake until creamy, about 1 hour. Transfer the rice to a serving bowl and serve.

Steps:

• Combine the pineapple juice and broth in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover with a lid and remove from the heat.
• Heat the butter in a large saucepan set over medium-low heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
• Add a ladle of the hot juice mixture to the saucepan and cook, stirring, until the liquid is fully absorbed. Continue adding the hot liquid to the saucepan, one ladle at a time and stirring intermittently, until the rice is no longer crunchy, about 30 minutes.
• Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper, then turn off the heat and stir in the basil. Set aside, covered, while you cook the scallops.
• Pat the scallops dry, then season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a medium skillet set over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add half the scallops and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Flip the scallops once, then tilt the skillet and baste them with the oil. Continue cooking the scallops an additional 1 minute, until no longer translucent. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining scallops, adding more oil as needed.
• Divide the risotto among serving plates and top with the scallops.
• Garnish with microgreens and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Spread pecans and coconut onto a baking sheet.
• Toast in the preheated oven until coconut is very light golden brown and pecans become fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool, about 10 minutes. Leave the oven on.
• Pulse oats in a blender or food processor until slightly ground.
• Mix brown sugar, white sugar, and butter together in a bowl. Add pineapple, egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
• Mix oats, flour, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl; mix into the wet ingredients. Stir in toasted coconut and pecans. Drop by spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheets for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
