    List of Ingredients




    Brazil, Hearts of Palm Risotto


    1 tablespoon butter
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1/2 small onion, chopped
    5 ounces arborio rice
    1/4 cup dry white wine
    3 cups vegetable stock
    2-3 hearts of palm, sliced
    1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, freshly grated
    1 tablespoon flat leaf parsley, chopped
    1 tablespoon butter, cold
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon white pepper

    Recipe



    Bring stock to a boil in a medium saucepa

    Serve Immediately

    In a large pan, heat olive oil and butter over high heat. Add the onion and cook until it’s transparent.

    Pour in the rice and stir for 1 minute; add the wine and stir until it's absorbed.

    Add the stock a 1/4 cup measure at a time, and stir constantly until it's absorbed. Repeat this step until the rice is al dente, or still a little bit hard.

    One minute before it’s ready, add the hearts of palm and mix well.

    Remove from heat, add butter, parsley and cheese and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Risotto should be a little creamy, not dry.

    Serve immediately.

    *note: the hearts of palm need to be soft, because they don't cook long at all. If using canned and they are salty, rinse them. If they aren't soft or fresh, zap them in the microwave for 45 seconds on 500.
