Prep Time: 25 Minutes Start to Finish: 1 Hour 10 Minutes Ease of Preparation: Moderate Ingredient Note: Use short- or medium-grain brown rice to achieve the characteristic creamy risotto texture. This updated spring classic calls for nutty-tasting short-grain brown rice instead of the traditional white arborio. Because the cooking time is longer with whole-grain rice, this risotto is cooked in the oven rather than on the stovetop, eliminating the need for almost constant stirring. |
| Ingredients: |
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 2 medium onions, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups) 1 cup short- or medium-grain brown rice (see Note) 3 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 cup dry white wine 3 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable stock 8 ounces asparagus, ends trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces (2 cups) 1 cup sugar snap peas or snow peas, trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces 1 cup diced red bell pepper (1 medium) 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese (3 1/2 ounces) 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives 1-2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest, preferably organic freshly ground pepper to taste |
| Instructions: |
Makes 6 servings, about 1 cup each. 1. Preheat oven to 425°F 2. Heat oil in a Dutch oven or ovenproof deep sauté pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in rice and garlic; cook, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in wine and simmer until it has mostly evaporated. Add broth and bring to a boil. Cover the pan and transfer to the oven. 3. Bake until the rice is just tender, 50 minutes to 1 hour. 4. Shortly before the risotto is done, steam asparagus, peas and bell pepper until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. 5. Fold the steamed vegetables, Parmesan, parsley, chives, lemon zest and pepper into the risotto. Serve immediately.
