Directions
Risotto With Parmigiano-Reggiano in a Crock Pot, Inspired by a favorite dish at a Scottsdale, AZ restaurant. It’s the Basil Olive Oil used in the dish that makes it so yummy. I love Risotto but oh, the stirring and stirring… Here is a crockpot version that works great!! This recipe works as a terrific side dish but you can add other items to make it a complete meal in itself, such as shrimp etc.. I hope some of you will attempt this version., This was good and so easy to make–but not my favorite risotto. It goes from not quite done to oops, I cooked it too long in a short period of time, so I should have watched more closely at the 90 minute point and perhaps turn to low. I didn’t have basil oil, so added some fresh basil to olive oil while sauting the shallots and then added some garlic. I also toasted the rice in the oil before adding to the slow cooker. I didn’t add salt and even though used regular broth, the finished risotto needed more seasoning., Best risotto I ever made. Better than ones I ate at restaurants. And so simple! Modifications: I added uncooked rice to the skilled with shallots and let it fry up and absorb the olive oil before transferring to the pot; then, it was undercooked when I checked after two hours and there was no liquid left so I added a cup more of stock and left to cook for 30 minutes longer on low. used two tablespoons Grana Padano and three tablespoons Parmigiano Regiano. It’s perfect. I could eat the whole pot in one sitting 😀
