Ingredients
- 1 package DeLallo Quick Cook Cheese Risotto
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 bunch Swiss chard any variety
- 1 shallot thinly sliced
- ¼ cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano plus more for serving
- 2 Tbsp truffle oil plus more, as desired
- Freshly grated black pepper
- Micro greens or arugula, optional, for serving
Instructions
- Cook the risotto. Place 2 cups of cold water and the contents from the DeLallo Quick Cook Cheese Risotto into a medium saucepan. Stir, then bring to a boil. Cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until all of the liquid has absorbed. Risotto should be tender, but with an al dente bite.
- Separate the stems and leaves. While the risotto is cooking, trim the end off of each stem and discard. Next, use a knife to cut out the rib of the stem and separate it from the Swiss chard leaves. Chop the stems into ¼" thick pieces and set aside. To cut the leaves, simply fold them in half lengthwise, roll them up into a cylinder, then thinly slice. You should end up with pieces are that about 2-3" long. Keep these separate from the chopped stems.
- Sauté the stems. Melt 2 Tbsp unsalted butter over medium-high heat, then add chopped Swiss chard stems and 1 thinly sliced shallot. Cook for 3-5 minutes.
- Cook the leaves. Add chopped Swiss chard leaves, stir well, then cook until tender, about 3 minutes more. Add lemon zest and ½ tsp Kosher salt. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Finish the risotto. To the cooked risotto, add cooked Swiss chard and stems, ¼ cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano, 2 Tbsp truffle oil, and about ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper. Stir very well.
- Plate the risotto. Divide the risotto into two large bowls. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese, freshly ground black pepper, and micro greens, if using. Serve immediately!
