Baked Risotto Primavera Recipe

	Grizzlybear / All my dishes 1 year, 10 months ago This 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)

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

2 14 1/2-ounce cans reduced-sodium chicken broth or 3 1/2 cups vegetable broth

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

Ingredient Note: Use short- or medium-grain brown rice to achieve the characteristic creamy risotto texture.

Directions

. Preheat oven to 425F

2. Heat oil in a Dutch oven or ovenproof deep saut 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.
