Served with my Perfect Garlic Bread, this flavorful dish is perfect for a date night or a dinner party with friends. And since it’s so easy to make, you’ll be able to spend more time enjoying your guests instead of stuck in the kitchen. I’m a huge fan of risotto. There’s just something about the comforting, creamy dish that just makes my mouth water. Serve for a weeknight feast! If you think this risotto is easy, why not try my Easy Mushroom & Bacon Risotto for another twist on the classic dish.
No-Stir Risotto Method
For me, the best part of this dish is it doesn’t require you to stir the entire time you are cooking. I add the stock all at once, covering it and letting it cook on low heat until tender. The higher starch rice keeps the traditional creamy texture you expect from risotto (minus the aching arm).
Step By Step Instructions
Steam the broccoli until just under-cooked. Alternatively, you can add it to the risotto to cook about 8 minutes before it’s done cooking, but this could result in under or over-cooked broccoli. In a large pan, saute the shallots with two tablespoons of butter until they are cooked and soft but not browned. Then add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add all the rice and stir it around with the other ingredients to toast the grains thoroughly without browning. Raise the heat to high, add the wine and reduce it until nearly all of the liquid is absorbed into the rice. Stir in the stock, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Reduce the heat, stir and leave to cook covered for 15 to 18 minutes you want the rice to be just undercooked (Checking after about 15 minutes to make sure no additional stock is needed. If the risotto looks dry, add some of the remaining stock). Add the shrimp, broccoli, and peas. Cook 5 minutes. Add the chopped parsley, the remaining butter, and grated cheese.
