Creamy Crab And Spinach Risotto Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the cream cheese, Worcestershire, dry mustard, paprika and cayenne, and stir until melted. Add the spinach and crabmeat, and stir until warm and bubbling. Stir in the cheeses and season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the dip to a small baking dish and top with the panko. Place the baking dish on a baking sheet and bake until bubbling and golden, about 15 minutes.
• Serve hot with crackers.

Steps:

• Heat the stock in a medium saucepan and keep it simmering over low heat.
• In a medium (10 to 11-inch) pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots, fennel, and poblano pepper and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the garlic, thyme, saffron, and red pepper flakes and cook for 2 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat all the grains with butter and oil. Add the wine and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes, until almost all the liquid has been absorbed. Add 1/2 cup of the simmering stock to the rice and cook, stirring frequently (see Cook's Note). When the stock is almost completely absorbed, continue adding stock, 1/2 cup at a time, simmering the risotto until the stock is absorbed each time before adding more stock. Cook until the rice is al dente; it should take between 25 and 30 minutes.
• When the rice is done, stir in the creme fraiche, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Fold in the crabmeat and peas and cook over low heat for 2 minutes, until the crabmeat is warmed through. Add just enough simmering stock to make the risotto moist and creamy. Serve hot in large, shallow bowls and sprinkle with chives and lemon zest.

Steps:

• Cut the rind off the taleggio and discard. Dice the cheese into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside at room temperature as you prepare the rice.
• Line a colander with a clean dish towel and place spinach inside. Heat about 8 cups of water until boiling, then pour over spinach; the spinach will wilt. Let spinach sit until cool enough to handle, then use the dish towel to squeeze out the water. Transfer spinach to a food processor and blend with 1 tablespoon butter until smooth. (You'll end up with about 1 cup of purée.) Reserve.
• Melt remaining 5 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion, celery and garlic; cook until translucent, about 7 minutes. Stir in rice and 1 teaspoon salt, and cook until toasted and golden, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in wine and cook until it's absorbed, about 3 minutes. Stir in stock, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring often but not necessarily continuously, until the stock is finished and the rice is cooked through but not mushy, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Stir in spinach purée, then taste and add more salt, if needed. Add taleggio and stir to melt. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a Medium Saucepan combine rice, water and wine. Bring to boil and then turn down to simmer.
• When approximately 2/3rds of the liquid is absorbed add the carrot, onion, shallots, crab, cream and herbs.
• Continue to simmer.
• Stir occasionally and check for absorbtion.
• It's done when it's nice and thick and the carrots are still crunchy.
• Add the chilli and cheese to the dish and bake at 220 degrees celcius for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Put a medium pot on a burner over medium heat. When the pot is hot, add the olive oil and shallots and simmer until the shallots are translucent. Pour the wine into the pot and allow simmer until the wine is almost completely evaporated. Add the butter and when melted, add the rice and stir until coated with the butter. Add 3 cups of the chicken broth and gently simmer. Slowly add the remaining chicken stock and cook until the rice is soft. Add the crabmeat and milk and cook for about 3 minutes.
• Add the Parmesan, Salt and pepper to taste, and mix well. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and continue to mix occasionally, until it's time to serve. To make the chive oil, add the chives and olive oil to a blender, and mix on high for about 3 minutes. Pour the oil in a small bowl or squeeze bottle.
• Serve the warm risotto in medium-sized bowls and drizzle a small amount of chive oil on top for a garnish.

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil together in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until soft. Do not brown, they should be translucent. Add the rice and saute for a further 3 to 5 minutes making sure the rice is well coated, Using a ladle, add about 1/2 cup of stock to the rice and stir over a medium heat until the rice is almost dry and all the stock has been incorporated. Repeat this process until the rice is cooked but still has a slight bite. The rice should be creamy and moist, not runny, and the cooking time should be around 30 minutes.
• Just before serving, fold in the crabmeat, chopped chives, and Parmesan. Drizzle sparingly with white truffle oil.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Lightly oil a 8"x10" baking dish.
• Defrost the spinach, squeeze out the water and coursely chop.
• Slice the mushrooms.
• Mince the garlic.
• Chop the imitation crab into bite size pieces.
• De-seed and dice the Roma tomato.
• Shred the Parmesan cheese.
• Over medium-high heat use a large saucepan to saute the mushrooms and garlic in remaining olive oil until the mushrooms begin to release their juices.
• Add the rice to the mushrooms and mix well to separate the grains.
• Add the crab, tomatoes, and spinach to the mushroom/rice mixture.
• Add the Alfredo sauce.
• Add the Old Bay seasoning then mix well to incorporate flavors (about 5 minutes).
• Add half the Parmesan cheese and mix until melted.
• Pour into baking disk.
• Top with breadcrumbs and remaining Parmesan cheese.
• Bake until the top turns a golden brown and casserole is bubbly.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and butter in a 12- to 14-inch skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and cook until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add rice; cook and stir with a wooden spoon until toasted and opaque, about 4 minutes.
• Add wine and let it reduce for 2 minutes. Add one ladle of chicken broth; cook and stir until it's all absorbed. Continue adding one ladle at a time, cooking and stirring until broth is absorbed before adding the next ladle. When finished, rice will be creamy and tender yet firm to the bite. Stirring in the broth should take 15 to 20 minutes in all.
• Meanwhile, season shrimp with salt and pepper.
• Heat remaining olive oil in a skillet; add shrimp and saute just until they turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes; they will not be fully cooked. Remove from the heat.
• When the risotto is finished, stir in shrimp, spinach, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, prosciutto, parsley, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper and cook until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with more Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Melt butter in deep pot and sauté onion and garlic until translucent - about 5 minutes.
• Add Arborio to pot and sauté for about 3 minutes.
• Add wine to rice and sauté until nearly dry, then mix in spices.
• Add ¼ - ½ cup of stock at a time to rice stirring often until it evaporates and repeat steps until stock is gone.
• During Step 4, in a separate smaller pot, bring ¼ cup of stock to a simmer, add spinach and cover. Cook for 5 minutes or until tender. Turn off heat and allow to cool slightly while covered.
• Put cream into a food processor, add spinach mix including juice, and process until smooth.
• When risotto is nearly done, add spinach mixture and mix well. Simmer until risotto evaporates to a creamy consistency.
• Add cheese, mix, and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a low heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook over a low heat for 12 mins until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min. Tip in the rice, then turn up the heat to medium and fry for 3 mins. Pour in the wine and bring to the boil until the liquid is reduced by half.
• Turn the heat up to high and pour half the stock into the pan, stirring continuously until most of the stock has been absorbed. Add more stock, a ladleful at a time, letting each addition be absorbed before adding the next, stirring continuously (you will need most of the stock). This should take around 18-20 mins,by which point the rice should be cooked with a slight al-dente bite to it. Add the butter, both types of crabmeat, the saffron, cheese and the lemon zest and juice, and stir everything together. Season to taste, adding a little more stock to loosen if you need to. Spoon into shallow bowls and top with the herbs.
