Rarebit Risotto Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring vegetable broth to a gentle simmer.
• In a medium dutch oven (or large sauce pan), heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add rice and stir till well coated and golden. Add beer and stir till rice has absorbed all the liquid.
• Ladle in a cup or so of the stock and continue stirring till liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Repeat till all broth has been absorbed (stirring constantly).
• While risotto is cooking, steam broccoli until bright green and just tender (I just pop it in a bowl, sprinkle with water, and microwave for a minute or so).
• When the last of the broth is absorbed, add mustard and cheese and stir till cheese is melted and well combined with risotto. Stir in broccoli and tomatoes and sever immediately. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat; blend in the flour, salt, pepper, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce; continue cooking and stirring until the mixture is smooth and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; gradually stir in the milk; return to heat and stir continually until the mixture comes to a boil. Slowly pour in the beer; cook 1 minute more while still stirring. Melt the Cheddar cheese into the mixture in small portions until completely incorporated. Remove from heat.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and whisk in the flour. Cook, whisking constantly for 2 to 3 minutes, being careful not to brown the flour. Whisk in mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until smooth. Add beer and whisk to combine. Pour in cream and whisk until well combined and smooth. Gradually add cheese, stirring constantly, until cheese melts and sauce is smooth; this will take 4 to 5 minutes. Add hot sauce. Pour over toast and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a wide, heavy-bottom saucepan, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Finely chop ramp greens and stalks, reserving greens for later.
• Add shallot, ramp stalks, and pepper flakes to sauce pan and stir until the shallot is translucent, about two minutes.
• Add rice to pot and cook over medium heat for two minutes, stirring to coat the rice with oil.
• Pour in 1/4 cup of the wine and boil until almost absorbed (a little liquid should remain on top of the rice).
• Continue to add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of hot broth at a time, stirring the rice constantly until almost all of the liquid is absorbed.
• After adding about 2 cups of stock, add another 1/4 cup of stock, the remaining wine, and a tablespoon of olive oil, continuing to stir.
• Add the ramp greens and more stock as needed and continue cooking and stirring until the risotto looks creamy but is still al dente, about 18 to 22 minutes.
• Remove from heat and let the risotto stand for about 30 seconds before adding a drizzle of olive oil, butter, and cheese; stir until well combined.
• Season with salt.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, bring the broth to a boil and then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
• Meanwhile, in a large, heavy saucepan on medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the rice and stir until well coated with oil. Add the beer and stir until the rice has absorbed the liquid, a couple of minutes. Ladle in the simmering broth a cup at a time, stirring often. Let the rice absorb most of the broth before adding the next cup, usually about 5 minutes between additions.
• While the risotto is cooking, steam the broccoli until bright green and just tender. Set aside.
• When the last of the broth is absorbed, the kernels of rice should be al dente and the risotto moist. Add the mustard and cheese to the risotto and stir until the cheese is melted. Stir in the broccoli and tomatoes, season with black pepper, and serve hot.
