Ingredients
To create this flavorful risotto, you will need the following ingredients:
- 320 grams of Arborio rice
- 1 small head of radicchio (about 250 grams)
- 200 grams of gorgonzola cheese
- 50 grams of walnuts, chopped
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 liter of vegetable broth
- 100 ml of white wine
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create a mouthwatering risotto:
- Begin by preparing the vegetable broth. In a pot, bring the broth to a gentle simmer and keep it warm over low heat.
- In a separate large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
- Chop the radicchio into thin strips and add it to the skillet with the onions. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the radicchio softens.
- Add the Arborio rice to the skillet, stirring well to coat each grain with oil. Toast the rice for 2-3 minutes until slightly translucent.
- Pour in the white wine and allow it to evaporate completely, stirring continuously.
- Start adding the warm vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until the liquid is mostly absorbed before adding the next ladle. Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is creamy and al dente.
- Once the rice is cooked, remove the skillet from heat and stir in the gorgonzola cheese until it’s melted and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Finally, fold in the chopped walnuts for an added crunch. Allow the risotto to rest for a minute before serving.
