Risotto Primavera

Food & Wine Archives

Wine Recommendation: This light vegetable risotto demands
a crisp and fruity white wine such as the 1998 Michele Chiarlo
Rovereto Gavi di Gavi
.

Food & Wine - One Year Subscription  

 Servings: 8

2 large artichokes ( 1/2 pound each)
1/2 lemon
About 7 cups beef stock or canned
low-sodium broth
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 carrots, cut into 1/4 -inch dice
1 onion, finely chopped
1 celery rib, cut into 1/4 -inch dice
1 medium leek, white part only, quartered
lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2 -inch dice
2 cups arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese,
plus more for serving
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1 tablespoon chopped basil
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Pull off the dark green outer leaves of the artichokes until you reach the
pale green leaves. Cut off the top two-thirds of the leaves. Using a melon baller or spoon, scoop out the hairy chokes. Using a vegetable peeler or a paring knife, peel the stems and trim away any dark green portions from
the bottoms. Rub the artichokes with the lemon half. Cut the artichokes
in half lengthwise, then thinly slice them crosswise. Squeeze the lemon
all over the artichokes.
In a saucepan, bring the stock to a boil; keep warm over low heat. Heat
the olive oil in a large heavy saucepan. Add the artichokes, carrots, onion, celery and leek and cook over moderate heat for 5 minutes. Add the zuc-
chini and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes longer. Add the rice and stir over moderate heat until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook over moderately
high heat, stirring, until absorbed. Add 1 cup of the stock and cook,
stirring, until absorbed.
Continue adding the stock, one cup at a time, stirring constantly until it
is absorbed before adding more. The rice is done when it's tender and
creamy but still firm to the bite, 20 to 25 minutes.

Stir the 1/2 cup of Parmesan and the butter, parsley, chives and basil
into the risotto and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the risotto into
shallow bowls and serve as soon as possible. Pass additional Parmesan
at the table.
