The techniques for making a delicious risotto without the broth without sacrificing creaminess and taste
You can prepare a risotto without broth? According to the traditional recipe no, but contemporary cuisine admits some interesting variations. Inspired by the ideas of the great chefs, here is the technique for cooking risotto without broth (and discovering that we love it).
Water instead of broth
It seems obvious to say it, but to prepare a good risotto you can simply use water. sure it must be boiling water because you can't add cold to the risotto while cooking. It must also be salted to give flavor and flavor. The boiling water that we use if we don't have broth, can be flavored with spices or herbs based on the result we want to achieve. Remember then that the broth can be made in many ways and not only with celery, carrots and onions. You can also obtain a sort of broth by infusing herbs, or bay leaves and cloves and even broth can become brothcooking water of any vegetable.
Recipe for risotto without broth
As you do for a traditional risotto, consider two punches of rice per personplus one for the pot. Toasting rice it's the most important step, so don't underestimate it. Toast it in a sautéed onion, oil and butter for a couple of minutes and then blend with some still or sparkling white wine. Once the alcoholic part has evaporated, add with a ladle and little by little some boiling salted water, stirring constantly. After cooking, season with salt and pepper and stir in the butter and grated Parmesan. You can add it saffron to make a yellow rice, or a very tasty cheese for a super creamy risotto, but the base of the dish is more or less always the same, even replacing the broth with water.
Milk Rice
Another delicious risotto is the one that cooks in milk. The procedure is always the same and you can replace the onion with the shallot or eliminate it if you don't like it. Do not blend with the wine, but directly with the milk and continue to add it alternating it with boiling water. Almost at the end of cooking add the diced mozzarella, if you want a streamlined result, and a handful of Parmesan. It is also excellent in sweet version, obviously without the onion, but only with so much milk to be added a little at a time, a spoonful of sugar per person and plenty of cinnamon. Sweet milk rice is an excellent snack or a simple idea for a dessert.
Centrifuges and juices
If there is no broth we can replace it with juicers and vegetable and fruit juices. An example would be the Risotto With Lemon which is prepared with the juice obtained from a lemon by squeezing it or through the extractor. An elegant and colorful variant the one with the beetroot juice which makes it pink, but you can also make it green with the parsley and orange with pumpkin. It is always important to dilute these liquids with hot water to avoid giving the dish too intense a flavor.
Risotto without rice
What if you don't have broth or rice? Magic, risotto is made with chopped cauliflower and seared in a pan.
The cauliflower rice obviously has a different taste, but the appearance could fool anyone. It is a very tasty, rich and very easy to prepare dish.
