Risotto & Lamb Recipe

1 1/2 Tablespoons	Extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon	Minced garlic
1 tablespoon	Minced shallot
1 tablespoon	Minced shallot
1 Cup	1 cup of brown rice
1/2 Cup	Homemade chicken stock
1 tablespoon	Port
	Kosher salt
	Freshly ground black pepper
	Onion Soubise (pg283) of his book
1 cup	Fresh peas or frozen baby peas
2 tablespoons	finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley or chives
1/4 cup	Grated Parmesan(optional)

Directions

To create an exquisite meal using an electric pressure cooker, meticulously follow these detailed steps. Begin by heating a tablespoon of olive oil in the cooker, then add finely minced garlic and shallots. Sauté them over medium heat until they become translucent and fragrant, which usually takes about 3-4 minutes. Next, incorporate sliced mushrooms into the mixture, allowing them to cook until they have released their moisture and turned golden brown. This process will deepen their flavor and enhance the dish’s overall richness.

As you prepare the onion soup, take your time to develop the flavors. Sauté sliced onions until they are soft and caramelized, which can take around 10-15 minutes. In the meantime, check on the rice by tasting it, ensuring it is cooked to a tender yet firm consistency.

To add a delightful finish, take an extra step by placing fresh peas in the cooker and allowing them to steam gently under the residual heat. This will help them retain their vibrant color and crisp texture.

Once all your components are ready, ladle in the hot onion soubise—made by blending your caramelized onions with cream or stock for a velvety consistency. Finally, taste the dish and adjust the seasonings with salt, pepper, or any herbs of your choice. This meticulous approach will create a dish that is not only impressive in presentation but also indulgent in flavor, sure to satisfy even the most discerning palates.

Love!
