Cooking Demo Recipe: Risotto with
Garlic Scapes & Bacon
| The Hollywood Farmers Market thanks Blake Van Roekel, Keuken, and Slow Food Portland for a fantastic cooking demo last Saturday! 
Blake
demonstrated how to make a deliciously seasonal and affordable Risotto with most
ingredients coming right from the market. Try this one at home--garlic
scapes won't be in season for much longer!

Risotto
is an incredibly versatile and economical dish. Rice is first sautéed in
fat to
encapsulate and help seal the grain. Stock and wine are added gradually
while
stirring to create that classic, creamy texture unique to this dish.
Risotto is
best served immediately. However, leftover rice can be shaped into
patties or
balls and fried.
2-3 shallots, chopped (Deep
Roots Farm)
1/4 lb bacon ends, cut into quarter
inch
pieces (Sweet Briar Farms)
1 1/2 cups garlic scapes, chopped (Gales
Meadow
Farm)
3 cloves garlic, minced (Winter
Green Farm)
4 tablespoon butter
2 cups arborio rice
1 cup white wine, room temperature (Laurel
Ridge
Winery)
6 cups of vegetable or chicken
stock
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
(other hard
cheeses can substitute)
Salt (to taste)
Preparation:
1. Prepare your ingredients as you
heat the
stock.
2. In a straight-sided sauté pan,
melt the
butter.
3. Add the bacon and cook until the
fat is
rendered and the bacon is browned.
4. Add the shallots and reduce the
heat to
low. Salt, cover and sweat the shallots until they are translucent with
no
browning.
5. Add garlic scapes and cook for
3-5 minutes.
6. Add the minced
garlic and cook for less than one minute.
7.
Add the rice and stir the grains to coat with the bacon fat and butter.
Let the
grain absorb some of the fat, turning it slightly translucent. This step
will
take about 4 minutes.
8.
Add a ladleful of hot stock, stirring until it has been absorbed. Follow
with
the wine. Continue adding the stock slowly in this manner until each
addition
is absorbed. You may not need to add all of the stock. Add salt to taste
as you
go. This will take approximately 18-20 minutes.
9.
When done, the rice grains will be tender to the bite and the texture
will be
creamy. Season and sprinkle with parmesan. Let this dish sit off the
heat for a
couple of minutes before serving. Serves 6-8.
Enjoy!
