Risotto Bianco With Enoki And Fresh Peas Recipes

BOLOGNESE BIANCO

Steps:

• Put the oil, onion, carrot, celery, garlic, pancetta, bay leaves, rosemary and thyme in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, until the pancetta is rendered and cooked, and the vegetables are completely tender and golden, 16 to 18 minutes. (If the vegetables are browning too quickly, lower the heat.)
• Add the ground beef, ground pork and the garam masala and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the meat is completely broken up and cooked through, and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt and some freshly ground black pepper.
• Add the wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost evaporated, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the chicken broth, cream, and the cheese rind if using and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens and the flavors come together, about 45 minutes. Discard the bay leaves and cheese rind, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the Bolognese Bianco tossed with the pasta and more grated Parmigiano.

RISOTTO BIANCO

Steps:

• Heat the stock.
• Put the olive oil snd 2 TBS butter into a separate pan, add the onion, garlic, and celery and cook very slowly for about 15 minutes without coloring.
• When the vegetables have softened, add the rice and turn up the heat.
• The rice will now begin to lightly fry, so keep stirring it.
• After a minute it will look slightly translucent.
• Add the wine and keep stirring.
• Once the wine has cooked into the rice, add your first ladle of hot stock and a good pinch of salt.
• Turn the heat down to a simmer so the rice doesn't cook too quickly on the outside.
• Keep adding ladlefuls of stock, stirring and massaging the creamy starch out of the rice, allowing each ladleful to be absorbed before adding the next. About 15 minutes.
• Taste the rice to check if it's cooked aoccasionally.
• Continue this process until the rice is cooked the way you like it, soft and creamy, yet with a very slight bite.
• Remove from the heat and add the remaining butter, and Parmesan.
• Stir well and place a top on the pot and allow to sit for 2 minutes.
• Eat soon.

RISOTTO WITH PEAS

Steps:

• In a medium-size heavy saucepan, warm the oil. Add the onion and cook until barely softened, about 5 minutes. Add the peas, and shaking the pan to avoid burning, cook for 5 minutes. Remove and puree half the mixture and reserve. Also reserve the other, unpureed half.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the pot. Add the rice and cook over medium heat until it becomes opaque. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until the wine has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add the broth and the pureed pea mixture.
• Cook at a lively simmer for 15 minutes. Add half the remaining unpureed pea mixture, stir and cook 10 minutes longer. Remove from the heat, add the remaining pea mixture and butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the cheese and serve immediately.
