Risotto Al Cioccolato Chocolate Risotto Recipes

Steps:

• Place broth in a pot and heat until boiling. Over medium heat, warm up your skillet and pour in the olive oil. Add the onions and saute until translucent. Reduce heat and add the rice, allowing it to cook for 3-4 minutes. Increase the heat to medium, add the vermouth and stir constantly with a wooden spoon. Once vermouth has evaporated, add the boiling broth to the skillet one ladle at a time. Add a dash of salt and bring rice to a boil, then reduce heat. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the skillet. Rice will take aprox 16-18 minutes to finish cooking.
• When the risotto is ready, remove it from the heat and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle and mix in parmesan cheese. To plate: Place heaping spoonful of risotto on a plate with some lovely Italian salami, a slice of fresh cheese and some pickles.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan over very high heat. Add the rice. Stir continuously until the rice is very hot (do not allow rice to brown). Add the vanilla bean, rum and water to the pan, and cook until nearly all of the liquid is evaporated.
• Add the milk gradually in small amounts, stirring in between additions until the milk is absorbed. It should take about 15 to 18 minutes of stirring to add all the milk and cook the rice.
• Once the rice is cooked and all the milk is absorbed, remove the pan from the heat. Add the cream, sugar, orange and lemon zests, and chocolate. Stir well to mix everything and distribute the melted chocolate. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Melt half of the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Simmer the onion and beef marrow in the butter for about 10 minutes. When the onion is soft, remove the onion and marrow from the pan using a slotted spoon, and set aside. (I like to leave the onions in.)
• Saute the rice in the pan over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Stir constantly so the rice will not stick and burn. Stir in one ladle of beef stock, and keep stirring until it is mostly absorbed, ladling and stirring in more of the broth as well as the white wine in the same manner, until the rice is almost al dente. Stir in the saffron, remaining butter, and 3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Turn off the heat, cover and let sit for 4 or 5 minutes.
• Serve as a bed for ossibuchi or by itself with as much of the remaining Parmesan cheese sprinkled over as you like.

Steps:

• Bring the milk, sugar and vanilla to a simmer over low heat.
• Heat 1 tablespoos of the butter in a separate, large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the rice and cook, stirring until the rice is hot, about 2 minutes.
• Begin adding the hot milk 1/2 cup at a time, stirring often and adding more milk when the previous addition has been absorbed. Adjust heat to maintain a nice simmer. It will take about 30 minutes for the rice to become creamy and al dente. It is possible you may not need all of the milk.
• Remove the risotto from the heat and stir in the remaining butter, salt to taste and chopped chocolate. Top with shaved chocolate, fruit, whipped cream or nuts.
