| Ingredients | |
| 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) | reduced-sodium chicken broth |
| ½ cup | nonalcoholic white wine |
| ¼ teaspoon | salt |
| 1 cup | water |
| 2 teaspoons | olive oil |
| 1 | large leek, white part only, sliced |
| 1 bulb | fennel, trimmed, cored, quartered, and thinly sliced |
| 1 cup | Arborio rice |
| ¾ pound | medium shrimp, peeled and deveined |
| 1½ cups | fresh or frozen peas |
| ½ cup (2 ounces) | grated Parmesan |
Directions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the broth, wine, salt, and water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low.
- Meanwhile, warm the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the leek and fennel. Cook until the fennel starts to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the rice. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute to coat the grains.
- Add about 1 cup of the broth mixture to the rice mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until all the broth is absorbed, 5 minutes. Continue to cook, adding ½ cup of the broth mixture at a time and stirring frequently, until the rice is almost tender, 20 minutes.
- Add the shrimp and peas. Cook, stirring constantly, until the shrimp are opaque and the rice is tender, 5 minutes. Remove the risotto from the heat and top it with the Parmesan.
Tip
Arborio rice, a short-grained, high-starch rice appropriate for risotto, is sold in many supermarkets and Italian food stores.
