You’ll be amazed at the perfectly creamy risotto you can pull off in your slow cooker—no need to stand at the stove on stirring duty. Just be sure to use short-grain brown rice for the best possible texture.

Ingredients

Olive oil

1 tbsp(s)

Dry short grain brown rice

1 cup(s)

Shallot(s)

2 medium, finely chopped

Fat free reduced sodium vegetable broth

2 cup(s)

White wine

¼ cup(s), dry

Fresh tarragon

1 sprig(s)

Fresh tarragon

2 tsp(s), minced

Table salt

½ tsp(s)

Black pepper

¼ tsp(s)

Uncooked shrimp

¾ pound(s), medium, peeled and deveined

Uncooked asparagus

½ pound(s), thin, cut into 1-inch lengths

Frozen baby peas

¾ cup(s), thawed

Grated Parmesan cheese

½ cup(s)

Instructions

  1. In a covered 4-qt or larger slow cooker, cook oil until hot, about 15 minutes on High. Add rice and shallots; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in broth, wine, tarragon sprig, salt, and black pepper. Cover and cook until rice is almost tender, about 1 3⁄4 hours on High.
  2. Discard tarragon sprig. Stir in shrimp and asparagus; cover and cook on High until shrimp are just opaque in center and asparagus is crisp-tender, about 10 minutes.
  3. Add peas, Parmesan, and minced tarragon, stirring to combine. Let stand until peas are heated through, 2 to 5 minutes. Divide evenly among 4 bowls.
