ITALIAN RISOTTO WITH CRABMEAT AND BASIL
"Risotto, a classic Italian rice side dish, becomes a rich main dish with the addition of flavorful chevre (goat cheese) and crabmeat."
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 Tbsp. butter
1-1/2 cups Arborio rice or medium grain rice
5 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided use
1/2 cup whipping cream
2 oz. chevre (goat cheese)
1/2 lb. cooked lump crabmeat
1/2 cup snipped fresh basil (or 1 tsp. dried basil, crushed)
Ground black pepper (to taste)
In a large saucepan, cook onion in hot butter until tender; stir in rice. Cook 1 minute more.
Meanwhile, in another saucepan, heat broth. Slowly add 1 cup of the broth to the rice mixture, stirring constantly. Continue to cook and stir over medium heat until broth is absorbed. Slowly add remaining broth, 1 cup at a time, until all of the broth is added and absorbed; stir constantly.
Stir in whipping cream; simmer 2 minutes more. Remove from heat.
Stir in cheese, crabmeat, and basil. Season to taste with pepper.
Makes 4 servings
