A delicious homemade truffled risotto using quality ingredients, and fantastic Tamar Valley Truffles products.
Ingredients
- 20 grams Truffles
- Onion
- Garlic
- 300 grams Risotto Rice (Arborio)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 100 grams mushrooms (optional)
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1 litre good quality chicken or vegetable stock
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Finely chop onion and garlic, saute in butter
- Add sliced mushrooms (if using)
- Heat stock and leave to simmer in a separate saucepan
- Add rice and wine to onion and mushroom mix - cook until rice well coated
- Gradually add stock one ladle at a time and stir continuously until rice is cooked and has absorbed the stock (takes about 20 minutes)
- Stir in cheese
- Finely grate or slice truffle and stir half through risotto, and serve with the remainder on top
- Garnish with a sprinkle of Truffled Salt and/or Truffled Oil for an extra 'hit' if you require!
Notes
- When rice is cooked - make sure it's still quite 'sloopy' as it will continue to absorb liquid - you may need to add a little extra stock
- Truffle does not need to be cooked (in fact it's much better just slightly heated through or served thinly sliced on top of hot food)
- Plain foods - fats like butter and cheese bring out the best flavours of truffle
- Remember to use a well flavoured good quality stock
