RISOTTO WITH TRUFFLES RECIPES

Steps:

• Melt two tablespoons butter in a heavy frying pan over low heat. Add the shallots and cook until transluscent, about five minutes.
• Pour in the rice and stir with a wooden spoon over medium heat until all the rice is coated with the butter. Let it cook for three to four minutes, stirring frequently so that it absorbs the butter and turns opaque.
• Add the wine, and cook till evaporated,then the chicken stock, a cup at a time, and cook the rice over medium heat, stirring constantly as the stock is absorbed by the rice. When the rice is almost tender, after about 15 minutes, add the garlic. Cook until the rice is al dente, about five to eight minutes more.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let the rice sit off heat for two to three minutes. Stir in the remaining butter. Do not return to heat or the butter will melt without binding. With a truffle cutter or sharp knife, shave off pieces of truffle and sprinkle them on the rice.

Steps:

• In a large skillet melt the butter and sauté the onion until translucent. Add the risotto rice to the pan and stir to coat in all the butter for a few minutes.
• Add the wine to the skillet and simmer until almost fully evaporated.
• Start adding the hot stock one ladle at a time making sure to cover the rice each time and maintain a constant ripple.
• Repeat the process until the rice is al dente. Remove from heat and add 1/2 ladle of stock and stir well.
• Place the truffle butter on top of the risotto and cover with a lid. Let the risotto sit covered for 5 minutes without touching it for the butter to melt from the steam.
• Stir the risotto well and add the truffle carpaccio on top making sure to reserve a few truffle slices for garnish.
• Spoon the risotto into bowls and sere garnished with the truffle slices and the minced parsley.
