Rice Porridge With Squash and Brown Butter
This recipe for a rich, winter-y rice porridge comes from Minh Phan, the owner of Porridge + Puffs in Los Angeles. Ms. Phan is a porridge whisperer, creating all kinds of complex, beautiful rice bowls, and her velvet porridge rich with roasted squash is no exception. To make a simple version of it at home, roast a mix of squash then purée it with brown butter and a little half and half. Stir the mixture into loose, cooked rice for a comforting meal you can eat plain, topped with pickled vegetables and herbs, some browned sausage or dressed salad leaves. Ms. Phan lets the cooked rice rest overnight so the grains absorb the seasoning evenly, but if you’re in a rush, you can go ahead and eat it right away.
Spinach Risotto With Taleggio
This recipe, based on the nettle risotto from River Café in London, substitutes spinach, which is easier to find and less perilous to work with. It’s best made with mature, crinkly spinach, which has a more robustly mineral flavor than delicate baby leaves, but use whichever you can get. The melting taleggio makes the rice supremely creamy, and adds a funky earthiness. Note that it’s easiest to remove the rind and cut the cheese into cubes when it’s straight-from-the-fridge cold, then let it come to room temperature as you cook the rice. If you'd like to use an equal quantity of nettles here instead of spinach, you can.
Pumpkin Risotto Con la Zucca
Smoked Mussels Risotto
Spring-Vegetable Risotto
Risotto With Parsnips and Greens
Risotto is a fine option for brunch, lunch or dinner. With a minimum of ingredients and fuss, it is ready in about a half-hour, and always appreciated.
Risotto With Peas and Sausage
Vegetables as seasonal as a maypole shape this risotto. There is a bit of veal for those who desire a more substantial plate of food, but it’s optional. For vegetarians, the broth does not have to be chicken. Omit the butter and cheese, and you're in vegan territory. As for the rice, regular arborio works fine though Vialone Nano, the elegant variety that is preferred in Venice for risotto with peas, is my choice for added culture, not necessarily flavor.
Rice Fritters With Orange Blossom Custard
This is my take on the Tuscan dessert frittelle di riso. The custard makes these a very special dessert, but you can also just make the fritters, if you like, which makes them more of a snack. They go really well with coffee, either served as they are or with whipped cream.
Mushroom Barley Soup
This is the soup that inspired the Campbell's "Mmm Good" campaign.
Black and Arborio Risotto With Beets and Beet Greens
The red from the beets will bleed into the white rice in this nutrient-dense risotto. Both the beets and the black rice contribute anthocyanins, flavonoids with antioxidant properties.
Risotto With Tomato Consomme And Fresh Cheese
Wild Rice with Liver and Mushrooms (Riz Sauvage Derby)
Surnoli (Coconut-Rice Pancakes)
Surnoli are soft, round and puffy pancakes, about the size of a diner’s silver dollars, and they can be served like them too, as a warm stack with a piece of melting butter on top. But surnoli batter contains no egg and no flour, and it isn't flipped at all but left to cook through on one side. Made from puréed raw and cooked rice, as well as coconut, and fermented with yogurt overnight, the konkani pancake becomes airy and takes on a gentle tang. Have it plain with a drizzle of ghee, or even a little honey. And if you want to try them savory, open a jar of your favorite Indian pickles instead. If you want to skip the longer fermentation, you could add a half teaspoon of Eno — an antacid made from sodium bicarbonate and citric acid, commonly used to fizz batters in Indian kitchens — just before you're ready to start cooking.
Risotto With Swiss Chard
Wild Rice and Arborio Risotto With Corn and Red Pepper
Though chefs these days get away with calling all sorts of grainy dishes risottos, the finished products often lack the creamy texture that makes classic risottos so appealing. But that creamy texture is possible if whole grains are cooked separately and combined with some arborio rice, the traditional risotto rice. Wild rice and corn contribute a New World character to this multicolored, multitextured risotto. The dish is delicious with or without the cheese.
Polenta With Pomodoro Sauce
Cooking with your child is an act of relaxation, learning and intimacy. It’s love over a stove. For The Times, the New York chef Marco Moreira and his daughter, Francesca, cooked this simple dish together in 2012. It showcased the fresh tomato sauce they made and provides a recipe as appropriate to grandparents as their kin.
Caramel Rice Flan
In Catalonia, many of the rice dishes are made with short grain rice. The pillowy texture of the short grains reminds me of tapioca, with a grainier bite. Short grain rice is also starchier than long grain, which helps the eggs bind the custard. Combining whole eggs and yolks would make the flan rich and light.
Barley ‘Risotto’ With Turkey and Mushrooms
Risotto Primavera
Risotto Alla Milanese
Risotto Nero with Squid
Squid ink is an extraordinarily delicious ingredient; it adds indescribable complexity, even when it's used in small quantities. You can buy it online or from Italian, Spanish and Japanese shops, and in some upscale grocers. Most fishmongers carry it in 1-ounce packets. (If you are up for it, collect your own ink from whole fresh squid.) To make this black risotto, first simmer the squid with tomato, wine and squid ink until tender. Fold the flavorful stew into plain risotto just toward the end of cooking.
Deep-Dish Mushroom Pie
Black Rice and Arborio Risotto With Artichokes
You can use fresh baby artichokes for this if they’re in season. Otherwise, it may be easier to find frozen ones.
Lemon Risotto With Brussels Sprouts
If you’re looking for a new way to include healthy Brussels sprouts in your diet, look no farther than this tantalizing risotto. Like the other cruciferous vegetables, Brussels sprouts are loaded with sulfurous compounds that are believed to have strong antioxidant properties.
