Cuisinart FRC-800 - Manual (Page 26)


Risotto
ASPARAguS & TOMATO
RISOTTO
setting: Risotto
Makes about 5 cups (5 entrée servings,
10 first-course servings)
1½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
½ cup finely chopped shallots
(about 2 small)
½ teaspoon sea salt, divided
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper,
divided
1½ cooker cups Arborio rice
½ cup dry white wine
6 ounces asparagus, cut into ½-inch
pieces
3 cups chicken stock, hot
1 ⁄
3
cup grated parmesan
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ cup chopped tomatoes
Put the oil in the cooking pot of the Cuisinart ® Rice
Plus™ Multi-Cooker. Select the Risotto function
and press start. Once oil is hot and shimmering,
about 2 minutes, add the shallots and a pinch each
of the salt and pepper. Sauté until softened, about
3 minutes. Add the rice and sauté until just
translucent, about 10 minutes. Pour in the wine and
cook until almost completely evaporated, then add
the asparagus. Sauté the asparagus with the rice
mixture for about 2 minutes, until they are crisp-
tender, but still bright in color.
Pour in all of the hot stock. Close the lid of the
cooker and let the risotto finish cooking.
Once the audible tone has sounded to indicate the
end of cooking, open the lid and stir in the
remaining salt and pepper, Parmesan, butter and
tomatoes.
Serve immediately. If you wish to use the keep
Warm function, more stock will need to be added
before serving to ensure a creamy consistency.

RISOTTO
setting: Risotto
Makes about 8 cups
1½ tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup finely chopped onion
¼ cup finely chopped shallots
(about 1 small)
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1½ teaspoons sea salt, divided
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper,
divided
2½ cooker cups Arborio rice
2 ⁄
3
cup dry white wine
4 cups ½-inch cubed butternut squash
pinch ground nutmeg
4 cups chicken stock, hot
1½ tablespoons chopped fresh sage
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Put the butter in the cooking pot of the Cuisinart ®
