Four Cheese Risotto Food

ITALIAN FOUR CHEESE RISOTTO

Steps:

• On low/medium heat in a large pan melt the butter, then add the chopped onion and stir to combine. Cook until transparent, then add the rice and stir to combine.
• Cook the rice for approximately 2 minutes, than add the wine and cook until it has evaporated (about 1-2 minutes). Stirring occasionally.
• Add the broth a little at a time (about 1/2 cup at a time), stirring often, lower heat a little, you want a low simmer, you do not want the rice to cook too quickly.
• Let the rice absorb the broth (but not dry a little moist) before adding more. Taste for salt (you may not have to add any if you have a salty broth) add a dash or two of pepper. Cook approximately 20 minutes or until rice is al dente and not mushy and a little moisture remains.
• Remove from heat and stir in the cheese. Serve immediately sprinkled with freshly Parmesan Cheese and chopped fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!

NEXT LEVEL THREE-CHEESE RISOTTO

Steps:

• If you want to make the cheese crust, heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Season the cheese with the cracked black pepper and scatter evenly over a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Bake for 8-10 mins or until golden, then set aside to cool. Break into shards. Will keep in an airtight container for up to two days.
• Put the stock and parmesan or grana padano rinds in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer. Melt one third of the butter in a large, shallow saucepan, add the onion and fry gently over a low heat for 8-10 mins or until soft but still white. If the onions look dry at any point add a touch more butter to the pan.
• Stir the rice into the onions, turn the heat up slightly and cook for 3 mins, stirring until the rice is coated in butter and turns a pearly translucent white. Pour in the wine and stir for about 2 mins until the alcohol has evaporated.
• Add a ladleful of the simmering stock to the rice and stir well until absorbed, then continue the process. The rice should be bubbling gently and each addition should be mostly absorbed before more stock is added. After 15-20 mins the rice should be tender with a slight chalky bite. The overall consistency should be saucy but not sloppy - you should be able to see the bottom of the pan when you draw a spoon through it.
• Take the pan off the heat and leave to stand for a minute, then vigorously stir in the remaining butter followed by the mascarpone, gruyère and parmesan, then stir with enough vigour that you hear the rice slapping against the side of the pan. Keep on stirring until the butter and cheese have melted together and the stock is thick and oozing. Serve the risotto ladled into warm bowls, topped with the shards of cheese crust and a drizzle of truffle oil, if using, plus a good grinding of black pepper.

THREE-CHEESE RISOTTO

Steps:

• Melt the butter and olive oil together in a large, shallow saucepan, add the onion and garlic, and cook for 5-10 mins until soft. Add the risotto rice and cook for 2-3 mins, getting a good covering in the fats and giving the rice a slightly toasted flavour.
• Add the white wine and cook until it has reduced away. Add the warm chicken stock, a ladleful at a time, and stir into the rice - when it has been absorbed, add more. You may not need to add all the stock, but keep adding until the rice is cooked al dente. It will take around 15 mins to get the risotto to the right consistency.
• Take the rice pan off the heat and stir in the cheeses, season and leave to rest for 3-4 mins. Serve with the roasted poussins, morel sauce and some wilted Baby Gem lettuce leaves.
