Steps:

• Put your stock or broth into a saucepan, and bring it to a simmer over low heat with a ladle nearby or in the pot. Make sure that the stock is well seasoned.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a wide, heavy skillet or in a large, wide saucepan. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt, and cook gently until it is just tender, about three minutes. Do not brown.
• Add the rice and the garlic, and stir until the grains separate and begin to crackle. Add the wine, and stir until it has been absorbed. Begin adding the simmering stock, a couple of ladlefuls (about 1/2 cup) at a time. The stock should just cover the rice and should be bubbling, not too slowly but not too quickly. Cook, stirring often, until it is just about absorbed. Add another ladleful or two of the stock, and continue to cook in this fashion, stirring in more stock when the rice is almost dry. You do not have to stir constantly, but stir often. After 10 minutes, stir in the diced broccoli stems. Continue to add broth and stir the rice for another five minutes. Stir in the thinly sliced flowers. Continue to add broth and stir the rice for another 10 minutes or so. When the rice is tender all the way through but still chewy, it is done. Taste now and adjust seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste. Add another ladleful of stock to the rice, along with the Parmesan and the parsley, and remove from the heat. The mixture should be creamy (add more stock if it isn't). Stir for about half a minute, then serve in wide soup bowls or on plates, spreading the risotto in a thin layer rather than a mound.

Steps:

• In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Saute garlic and broccoli until garlic is soft, about 3 minutes. Add 1/3 cup chicken broth, 3 tablespoons parsley, and salt and paper to taste. Simmer, uncovered, just until broccoli is tender, about 6 minutes. Set aside., Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a large saucepan. Cook onion until tender, about 3 minutes. Add rice and stir until rice is coated. Add wine or broth; cook until wine is, stirring constantly., In small saucepan, heat remaining broth and keep warm. Stir 2/3 cup warm broth into rice mixture. Cook, uncovered, over medium-low heat until all of the liquid is absorbed, stirring constantly. Add remaining broth, 1/3 cup at a time, stirring constantly. Allow the liquid to absorb between additions. Rice will be creamy and grains tender when done. (Total cooking time is about 25 minutes.) , Stir in the lemon juice, butter, 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and reserved broccoli. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and parsley. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Remove the flowerets from the broccoli, divide them into small pieces and steam about three minutes, until just tender and bright green. Rinse under cold water, drain and set aside.
• Chop enough of the stems to make one cup, place in a small saucepan with about two-and-a-half cups of water and simmer until very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, reserving the cooking liquid. Puree the chopped broccoli in a food processor.
• Add enough chicken or vegetable stock to the cooking liquid to make five cups, place this stock in a saucepan and bring to a slow simmer.
• Heat the oil or butter in a heavy saucepan. Add the onion and saute until the onion is tender but not brown. Stir in the rice and cook, stirring, about five minutes. Stir in the broccoli puree and season with salt and pepper and sage.
• Begin adding the simmering stock, about a half-cup at a time, stirring and adding additional stock as the liquid is absorbed by the rice. After about 20 minutes nearly all the liquid should have been added. The rice should be just tender with a bit of resistance in the middle and the mixture should be creamy, not quite liquid. Stir in the reserved broccoli flowerets, check seasonings and serve with Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• In a saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat and add the squash. Cook, shaking the pan frequently, until the squash is softened but not mushy, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Place the stock in a saucepan on the back of the stove and adjust the heat so that it is just below a simmer.
• In large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until the onion becomes translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the rabe and continue to cook for another few minutes until it is somewhat reduced in volume. Add the rice and toss until well coated. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until it is almost completely evaporated.
• One cup at a time, add 3 cups of the stock, letting the liquid all but evaporate between each addition and stirring constantly. (Lower the heat if necessary to keep the rice from sticking.) Add a fourth cup of stock along with the squash and continue to cook, stirring, until the mixture is almost completely dry.
• Lower the heat and stir in the lemon zest, Parmesan and final 1/2 cup of stock. Season to taste with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for a minute or two more until the mixture becomes creamy. Remove from the heat and serve immediately with Parmesan on the side.
