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
180 g asparagus, cut into 1centimetre
pieces
3 cups chicken stock, hot
1 ⁄ cup grated parmesan
3
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ cup chopped tomatoes
Put the oil in the cooking pot of the Cuisinart
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 colour.
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.
