RISOTTO WITH LENTILS



Risotto with Lentils image

Over many centuries, every country in the world has developed ways to obtain much-needed protein by combining the simplest of ingredients. In Italy, the combination of lentils and rice has found just as happy a home as it has in India. The trimmings may be a little different, but this simple dish can make a meal in itself when served with a salad, or as an accompaniment to grilled vegetables or stuffed artichokes.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup dried lentils
3/4 cup Arborio rice
4 cups water
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon good, fruity olive oil
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Thoroughly rinse the lentils and rice, being sure to remove any small stones or dirt. Place them in the slow cooker insert along with the water and 1 teaspoon salt.
  • In a sauté pan, heat the butter and sauté the onion over medium-high heat until the onion is golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the onion to the lentils and rice. Cover and cook on high for about 2 hours, or until both the lentils and the rice are tender. Add additional salt,if necessary, and pepper to taste.
  • Top each serving with a drizzle of the olive oil and a generous sprinkling of the Parmesan cheese and the parsley.
  • Any good, medium-bodied red wine would be nice with this dish. I might try a Barbera or a young, fruity Zinfandel or one of my favorite easy-drinking Italian varietals, Callaway Vineyards' Dolcetto.

  • Bring the vegetable broth to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Keep it simmering while you prepare the rest of the recipe, and make sure it doesn't come to a boil.
  • In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced shallot and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until tender. Stir in the garlic, arborio rice, and lentils. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes until the edges of the rice start to become translucent. Pour in the dry white wine and stir constantly until it's absorbed.
  • Using a large soup ladle or a 1/2 cup measuring cup, pour some of the hot broth into the pot. Stir constantly until it's absorbed. Repeat this step until all of the broth has been used, the rice is tender, and the lentils are cooked but not mushy (about 40 to 45 minutes). You will notice that the rice will be tender before the lentils are. This is how it should be, and it's OK to keep adding broth so that the lentils cook. You may need slightly more or less broth than listed. Sometimes I heat up two quarts of broth (8 cups) just to have extra if I need it to keep cooking the lentils.
  • Once the risotto is ready, stir in the chopped collard greens and parmesan cheese. Cook for a few minutes until the greens are wilted and fully incorporated into the risotto. Remove from heat, serve, and enjoy!
