Strawberry risotto with shallot and parmesan
Ingredients
- 1l water
- 1 shallot, small
- 4 tbsp butter
- 350g Arborio, or Carnaroli rice
- 80ml white wine
- 350g strawberries
- 4 tbsp Parmesan, grated
- Salt, to taste
Utensils
- pot
- frying pan knife
- cutting board
- blender
Instructions
- Pour the water into a saucepan and add salt.
- Heat the water over a low heat so it stays hot throughout the cooking.
- Finely chop the shallot.
- Melt half the butter in a pan over low heat.
- Add the shallot and sauté until tender.
- Stir in the rice and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the wine, increase the heat and allow the wine to evaporate.
- Meanwhile, place two-thirds of the strawberries in a blender puree. Cut the rest of the strawberries into small pieces.
- Add some water to the pan – the liquid should just cover the rice. Reduce heat to medium.
- Cook, stirring, until liquid is absorbed.
- Then add another batch of water. Continue cooking until all the liquid is used up and the rice is cooked through.
- Add the strawberry puree halfway through cooking.
- The whole rice cooking process takes 18-20 minutes. The finished risotto should be creamy.
- Add the chopped berries a few minutes before the end of the cooking time.
- Turn off the heat and add the remaining butter to the rice with the cheese and stir well. If desired, season the risotto with salt.
