CARROT RISOTTO
This risotto is carroty. It's cheesy. It has a nice bite to it, which is exactly what you want. And because the backbone to any risotto is a really good broth, I'm going to show you how we make our carrot stock at Dirt Candy.

Steps:
- Risotto: Strain the stock to yield 6 cups (add water to the stock if necessary) and place in stock pot over low heat to simmer. Finely dice the onion half; then peel and mince the garlic. In a skillet, heat olive oil to rippling, add onions and garlic, and cook until onions are translucent, 3-5 minutes. Add the rice and stir to toast. Continue to move it around the pan so it doesn't stick to the bottom, about 7 minutes.
- When the rice has grown translucent from absorbing the oil, add wine and stir until it evaporates; do the same with the lemon juice. Once the pan is fairly dry, slowly ladle the simmering carrot stock into the rice in one-cup increments (rice and stock need to be same temperature). Stir until the liquid has been incorporated before adding the next cup. Don't rush it: you want to let the carrot flavor slowly develop. (This is the trick to cooking risotto: take it slow!)
- When you have two cups of stock left in the saucepan, pour the carrot juice into the stock and stir until it's incorporated. Then, add the next cup of the carrot juice/stock mixture to the rice and incorporate. When you have one cup of the mixture left, stir the diced carrots into the rice before adding the final cup of liquid.
- Finish the dish: When the rice looks creamy and there's no liquid sloshing around, add salt, butter, and half of the Pecorino. (Omit butter and Pecorino for vegan eaters.) Spoon onto a serving plate, sprinkle with the thyme and remaining Pecorino, and serve.
- Peel, trim, and roughly chop the onion and carrots, and roughly chop celery; add to stock pot. Smash garlic cloves to remove peel, then add to pot. Add water, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Strain and reserve liquid, discarding solids.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the carrots, onion and ginger with 2 tablespoons of oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper on a baking sheet. Roast until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the chicken broth with 3 cups water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Keep it just under a simmer. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in another medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until the rice is translucent, about 1 minute. Add the wine and simmer, stirring, until the wine is fully absorbed, about 2 minutes. Add the thyme sprigs and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add about 1/2 cup warm broth. Cook, stirring, until the broth is almost absorbed. Continue adding broth, 1/2 cup at a time, and stirring until all of the broth has been incorporated and the rice is tender, but not mushy, about 25 minutes total. Stir in the butter, a few cubes at a time, until melted and the risotto is creamy.
- Roughly chop half of the roasted vegetables and stir them into the risotto. Spoon into bowls and garnish with the remaining vegetables and fresh thyme if using.
PARMESAN-CARROT RISOTTO
Instead of using pricier traditional Arborio rice, we experimented with long-grain white rice in this risotto. It yields results that are just as creamy and delicious.

Steps:
- In a saucepan, bring broth and 2 cups water to a bare simmer over medium.

- Add 2 cups hot broth; simmer over medium-low, stirring frequently, until mostly absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes. Continue to add broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring occasionally, until absorbed before adding more. Cook until rice is creamy and just tender, about 20 minutes (you may not need all the broth).
- Remove risotto from heat. Stir in Parmesan and 1 tablespoon butter, and season with salt and pepper.

NEW WORLD RISOTTO WITH CARROT-CORN BROTH
Steps:
- Saute the onions and garlic in the olive oil in a deep saucepan over moderate heat until soft but not brown. Add the rice, stir to coat with oil and saute until rice is opaque, about 3 minutes. Add the cumin seed and pepper flakes.
- Add the wine and cook until all the liquid is absorbed. Add the hot stock in 1/2 cup portions, stirring after each addition until liquid is almost absorbed. When the risotto is almost done, and you judge that only a couple more additions are needed, add the corn, tomatillos, peppers, beans and squash. Continue stirring and adding last of stock until vegetables are tender and rice is creamy but not over-cooked. Stir in the cheese and cilantro and correct seasoning with salt and pepper. Scoop into the center of warm soup bowls surrounded by a small ladle of the carrot-corn broth. Top with basil sprig and serve immediately.
- In a centrifugal juicer, juice the corn and carrots. Add juices to a saucepan and warm over moderate heat just below the simmer. Whisk in butter, drops of hot sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Thin if desired with a little vegetable stock. Keep warm.

Steps:
- For the carrot butter: Juice the carrots using a juicer (you should have 4 cups/1liter). If you don't have a juicer you can use store-bought carrot juice.
- Bring the carrot juice to a simmer in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat until reduced to 1 cup (250 ml), about 45 minutes. Add the diluted cornstarch. Slowly add the melted butter, using a hand mixer or whisk to incorporate it. Season with salt and pepper.
- For the risotto: Heat the vegetable stock in a saucepan.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil and saute the celeriac, parsley roots, parsnips, salsify and shallots. Add vegetable stock, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon and cooking until almost all the liquid has been absorbed before adding more. Continue cooking and adding stock until the vegetables are cooked but still al dente, about 25 minutes. Stir in the butter, Parmigiano-Reggiano, chives and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- For the mushrooms: Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the mushrooms until golden brown. Season with steak spice. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the mushrooms for 5 minutes.
- To serve, divide the vegetable risotto among dishes and top with the mushrooms. Drizzle with carrot butter and garnish with micro herbs.
- Heat the oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Lower the heat and add the carrots, celery, garlic, onions, parsley roots and leeks. Cook until the vegetables are slightly colored, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ketchup, peppercorns, celery leaves and parsley leaves. Add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes (it's important not to cook it for too long). Strain, cool and refrigerate until ready to use.
RISOTTO WITH SPRING CARROTS AND LEEKS
You can get carrots and leeks year 'round in the supermarket. In the spring, though, new carrots and leeks, fresh and sweet, come to farmers' markets, and they're perfect for this risotto.

Steps:
- Pour 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 it is well seasoned.
- Heat the oil in a wide, heavy skillet or saucepan over medium heat, and add the carrots, leeks and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables begin to soften, about three minutes. Add the rice, thyme and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the grains of rice are separate and beginning to crackle.
- Add the wine, and stir over medium heat until it has almost evaporated. Begin adding the simmering stock, two ladlefuls (about 1/2 cup) at a time. The stock should just cover the rice and should be bubbling, not too slowly nor too quickly. Cook, stirring often, until the liquid is almost absorbed. Add another ladleful or two of the stock, and continue to cook in this fashion - adding more stock when the rice is almost dry, then stirring - for about 20 to 25 minutes. Taste a bit of the rice. It should be chewy but not hard in the middle. (If it is still hard in the middle, add more stock and cook for another five minutes or so.) Stir in the chopped fresh herbs, add pepper to taste, taste and adjust salt.
- When the rice is cooked al dente, remove the pan from the heat and stir in another ladleful of stock, the Parmesan and lemon juice. The rice should be creamy. Serve right away in wide soup bowls or on plates, spreading the risotto in a thin layer rather than lumping in a mound.

INSTANT POT CARROT-SAFFRON RISOTTO
An electric pressure cooker is so worth the precious counter space it takes up. Not only does food cook in a fraction of the time, but the results are rich and flavorful. Use this recipe as a guide, and sub out whatever vegetables and flavorings you have on hand. Zucchini and mint, mushrooms and thyme, or shredded butternut squash and rosemary would all be lovely in place of the carrots and saffron.

Steps:
- Set the electric pressure cooker to sauté and melt 3 tablespoons butter. Add the onion and cook, stirring until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots and cook until just beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in the arborio rice and cook until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until it has evaporated, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in the broth and saffron, cover, and set the electric pressure cooker for 5 minutes on high pressure. It will take a couple of minutes for it to come to pressure.
- When the 5 minutes is up, immediately release the pressure. Carefully open the lid, stir in the cheese and remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Season the risotto to taste with salt and pepper, then serve topped with extra cheese.
BAKED BARLEY RISOTTO WITH MUSHROOMS AND CARROTS
Wholesome and nutty, barley is a superb alternative to arborio rice in this risotto, since it's naturally plump and chewy when cooked. The grated Parmesan and butter stirred in at the end release the barley's starches, creating a silky, creamy texture. Make sure to use pearl barley, not hulled, since it cooks much faster and is more tender. As for the mushrooms, white button, cremini and earthy shiitakes are a tasty, accessible mix, though any combination of oyster, king trumpet and maitake would raise the bar. Still, the best thing about this risotto, which is a satisfying vegetarian weeknight dinner (or side to any large roast or fish) is that it's baked, taking away the pressure of constant stirring at the stove.

- Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add onion and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes.

- In a dutch oven or stock pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, leek, and carrots; saute for 3-4 minutes. Add garlic, and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes. You'll want the carrots to be par-cooked, as they'll continue cooking with the risotto. Stir in red pepper flakes and thyme. Add pinches of salt throughout the cooking process to layer flavor!
- Stir in arborio rice to coat with veggies and let toast for about 1 minute. Slowly add wine and stir to combine. Let the wine absorb.
- Add vegetable stock in 1/2 cup increments, stirring between each addition and letting it fully absorb into the rice. Begin testing the rice for doneness after adding approximately 3 cups of stock in total. Continue adding broth and stirring until absorbed until rice reaches the desired level of "al dente" (a bit of chew, but you don't want it hard or crunchy!). I usually end up adding all 4 cups of broth.
- Remove risotto from heat and stir in parmesan cheese and butter until combined. Add additional salt and pepper to taste. Stir in a squeeze of lemon for a bit of brightness and garnish with parsley and/or additional parmesan cheese. Oh, and crispy leeks if you know what's good for you! ;)
