Turning to the pressure cooker makes this time and work intensive dish easy and quick to prepare perfect risotto every time. Read more . Try this risotto with some prosciutto wrapped scallop, yumm!
Ingredients:
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup diced shallot or onion
1 cup arborio rice
2 cups low-sodium chicken stock (i use homemade, but if you use canned or boxed make sure it's just chicken stock and not full of aromatics such as carrot, celery and onions)
1/4 cup white vermouth, or wine
1 teaspoon saffron threads
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, optional
Directions:
1. In the pressure cooker over medium heat, heat the olive oil; add the shallot and rice and saute until the shallot is translucent; add the broth, wine, saffron and some salt and pepper.
2. Lock the lid in place and bring to high pressure. Lower the heat to medium low and cook for 7 minutes. Release the pressure.
3. Stir in the cheese and butter, if using and serve.
4. You can add a little additional chicken stock if you like your risotto more soupy .
