Caramelized Shallot Risotto

with Lemony Zucchini Ribbons

Difficulty: 1/3
North America

Raw shallots start out crisp and pungent, but when you roast them in the oven they become meltingly tender and sweet. In this recipe, they’re tucked into a risotto, adding surprise bursts of flavor between the creamy grains. And for an elegant finish, you’ve got zucchini ribbons, which top the rice like a green veggie crown. It’s an easy, classic, and winning combo.

Preparation
1
Roast Shallots

Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Peel and quarter shallots, then place on a large piece of aluminum foil. Lift sides of foil and crimp to make a bowl. Toss in vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet. Roast in oven until shallots are soft, 15-20 minutes.

2
Make Stock and Prep

Wash and dry all produce. Bring 3 cups water and stock concentrates to a gentle simmer in a small pot. Mince or grate garlic. Halve lemon. Using a vegetable peeler, shave zucchini into ribbons, running blade down the length. Stop shaving once you get to the seedy core. Finely chop core.

3
Start Risotto

Melt 1 TBSP butter in a large, tall-sided pan or medium pot over medium heat. Add garlic and zucchini core. Cook, tossing, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, until grains are translucent, 1-2 minutes.

4
Simmer Risotto

Add stock ½ cup at a time to pan with rice, stirring after each addition. Allow rice to absorb most of stock before adding more. Continue until grains are al dente and creamy, 25-30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

5
Cook Zucchini

While risotto cooks, heat a drizzle of olive oil in another large pan over medium heat. Add zucchini ribbons. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, until tender and softened, about 5 minutes. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and toss.

6
Finish and Serve

Stir shallots and Parmesan into risotto. Season with salt and pepper. Divide risotto between plates and top with zucchini ribbons.
