Risotto Bianco
Tobie PuttockIngredients:
Serves: 4
- Approx 700ml chicken or vegetables stock
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, peeled, finely chopped
- 1 cloves garlic, peeled, finely chopped
- 250g Arborio rice
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 50g butter
- 50g freshly grated parmesan and a little extra for finishing
- 4 perfect slices of best quality prosciutto
Method:
- Firstly place the stock into a pot, bring to the boil and reduce to a very light simmer.
- In another large pot heat the olive oil over a low-medium heat, add the diced onion and very gently cook without colouring for about 10 minutes or until soft, translucent and without colour.
- Increase the heat to medium and add the rice, stir until translucent and then splash add the wine. Keep stirring and once the wine has evaporated add a ladle of the hot stock and stir until it has been absorbed.
- Continue to add a ladle of stock at a time.
- After about 15-25 minutes the rice should be tender but “to the tooth”. Remove the pot from the heat and add a final ladle of stock, the butter, grated parmesan, truffle oil and seasoning to taste, stir through and place a lid on the risotto pot and allow it to rest for a couple of minutes.
- Arrange the rice between the plates with a single slice of prosciutto draped over the rice and a little extra parmesan.
