Try something different with risotto. For example, make this strawberry risotto. The full taste of risotto is a delicious combination with the fresh strawberries.
Ingredients for 4 people
Prepare
1. Heat the oil and butter in a heavy-bottomed frying pan and gently fry the shallot without browning. Add the risotto rice and stir for a few minutes over medium heat until all the grains are glossy.
2. Add balsamic vinegar and let it evaporate. Add half of the vegetable stock. Keep stirring and every time when almost all the stock has been absorbed by the rice, add a new splash of stock.
3. After 20 minutes the rice is almost done. Then add pieces of strawberry.
4. Remove the rice from the heat when it is 'al dente' and wait a minute.
5. Add some more butter, olive oil and the grated Parmesan cheese until it has a creamy texture.
6. Place the strawberry risotto on a heated plate. Garnish the dish with strawberry slices, a little balsamic vinegar and fresh mint.
Risotto from Riso Gallo is available at PLUS, Vomar and the larger Albert Heijn branches.
