STRAWBERRY RISOTTO RECIPE

Steps:

• Wash the strawberries then dry them well. Remove the green tuft and cut them into small pieces. Keep a few whole strawberries for the final decoration.
• Chop the onion and sauté over medium heat in a pan with 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Add the rice and cook for 2/3 minutes, always stirring, untill the grains are slightly glassy.
• add the white wine, stir and let it evaporate, over high heat. We recommend a Prosecco wine. Then add the hot vegetable stock. At first, there will be a sizzle: part of the stock, in contact with the hot pan, evaporates. Then immediately add another ladle of stock. During cooking, the rice must always be covered with stock; in this way it releases the starches and the grain does not break.
• Halfway through cooking, after about 8 minutes, add half of chopped strawberries, stirring constantly. Strawberries become creamy and give the risotto its characteristic color.
• When the rice is cooked, after another 8/10 minutes, turn off the heat. Add grated Parmigiano cheese and butter. Stir to combine and finish with the remaining strawberries. Strawberry risotto is ready! You can add two or three drops of balsamic vinegar, a few mint leaves and decorate with strawberries.

Steps:

• Pour the stock into a pan and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer.
• Meanwhile, melt half the butter in another pan. Add the onion and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until it is softened. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until all the grains are coated with melted butter.
• Add the wine and cook for 5 minutes, or until the alcohol has evaporated. Add a ladleful of the hot stock to the rice and cook, stirring, until it has been absorbed. Continue adding the stock, a ladleful at a time, and stirring until each addition has been absorbed. This will take 18-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, set a few whole strawberries aside for the garnish and mash the remainder in a bowl. Ten minutes before the end of the cooking time, add the mashed strawberries to the risotto. When it is almost ready, gently stir in the cream and season with salt and pepper. Serve garnished with the reserved whole strawberries.

CREAMY RISOTTO

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Saute onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Add rice; cook, stirring until well coated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add wine; cook, stirring until absorbed, about 1 minute. Season with salt. Gently heat broth; keep warm.
• Add about 1 cup of warm broth. Cook, stirring frequently, until absorbed. Continue adding broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring until most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 25 minutes total. The rice should be tender (but not mushy) and suspended in liquid with the consistency of heavy cream.
• Remove pan from heat. Stir in Parmesan and butter; season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately (risotto will continue to thicken as it sits). Garnish with thyme leaves, if desired.
