Can I Make Risotto in a Rice Cooker
Who doesn't need an extra pair of hands when cooking the holiday feast?
If you lot have a rice cooker in your kitchen, y'all are good to go then.
Because it'south almost similar having an extra helping hand.
Peculiarly when it comes to making risotto.
Imagine existence able to brand this flossy rice dish without having to stir information technology constantly. The rice cooker will free you up from that.
"Risotto Milanese" is from the 10th anniversary edition of "The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook" (Harvard Mutual Press) that was written past my two skilful friends, Julie Kaufmann (my former editor at the San Jose Mercury News), and Beth Hensperger, a James Beard honour-winning and well-nigh prolific cookbook author.
The book boasts 250 recipes, many of which yous'd never approximate could be made in a rice cooker, including tamales, puddings and porridges.
Their "Risotto Milanese" is a favorite of mine that I've made many times. It's made with saffron, xanthous onion, white onion and craven stock that go into the bowl of the rice cooker with Arborio rice. Button the button and let the rice cooker do all the work. But before serving, you stir in a pat of butter and a shower of grated Parmesan. That'southward how easy it is.
The rice gets fluffier in texture from the steam in the rice cooker than it would if cooked on the stovetop. Information technology's as well non as loose in consistency. Information technology's a little different in that way than a traditional risotto. Information technology gets a deep golden colour from the saffron. And the taste is so satisfying, what with the cheese and butter folded into it.
This risotto is traditionally served as a side dish to osso bucco (braised veal shanks) or carbonata (Milanese beefiness stew), Kaufmann and Hensperger write in the volume. Simply I think it too goes beautifully with fish, shrimp, roasted chicken, pork loin, rack of lamb and then much more than.
