Golden Delicious Risotto

 

Recipe By :Washington Apples 2002-01

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Rice

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth -- (4 to 5)

4 tablespoons butter -- (1/2 stick)

2 tablespoons minced onion

1 cup Arborio rice or short grain rice

2 cups diced peeled Golden Delicious Apples

1/3 cup dry white wine

2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano cheese -- plus more for garnish

1/4 teaspoon salt

Freshly grated nutmeg

 

1.) In medium saucepan, heat broth to boiling; reduce heat to maintain a steady

simmer and cover.

 

2.) In large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over low heat; add onion and

saute 3 minutes. Add rice and 1 cup diced apple; saute, stirring, 3 minutes.

Stir in wine; stir until wine evaporates.

 

3.) Stirring, add enough hot broth (about 3/4 cup) to just cover rice. Adjust

the heat to maintain a steady simmer and cook rice, stirring constantly, until

almost all broth has been absorbed-about 4 minutes.

 

4.) Continue adding broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring, and cooking until broth

is absorbed. After 15 minutes, stir in remaining diced apples. Rice is done when

creamy yet firm (al dente) in center. Total cooking time is 25 to 30 minutes,

depending on rice.

 

5.) Remove risotto from heat; stir in remaining butter, 2 tablespoons

Parmigiano, and salt. Spoon into bowls or deep plates; sprinkle with nutmeg and

top with shaved Parmigiano.
