Making a risotto with truffle sauce is an excellent idea to enjoy an elegant and delicious dish. Here is a simple recipe to prepare a Risotto with Truffle Sauce:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of Arborio or Carnaroli rice (rice for risotto)
- 1/2 cup of dry white wine
- 4 cups of chicken broth or hot vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1/2 finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves of minced garlic
- 1/2 cup of prepared truffle sauce
- 1/4 cup of Grated parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley (optional, to decorate)
Instructions:
Heat the broth: In a large saucepan, heat the broth of chicken or vegetable broth over medium heat. Keep the broth warm while you prepare the risotto.
Saute the onion and garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until tender and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the rice and wine: Add the Arborio or Carnaroli rice to the pan with the onion and garlic, and stir for 1-2 minutes until the rice grains are lightly toasted. Then, pour in the white wine and cook, stirring constantly, until the wine is absorbed into the rice.
Cook the risotto: Start adding the hot broth, one ladle at a time, to the rice. Cook over medium-low heat and stir constantly. As the broth is absorbed, add more broth and continue cooking and stirring for about 18-20 minutes, until the rice is tender and has a creamy texture.
Add the truffle sauce: When the risotto is almost ready, add the prepared truffle sauce and mix well. The truffle sauce will give the risotto an intense flavor and aroma. If you prefer, you can adjust the amount of truffle sauce according to your taste.
Add the cheese and butter: Remove the pan from the heat and Mix the grated Parmesan cheese and the remaining tablespoon of butter into the risotto. Continue mixing until the cheese is melted and the risotto is very creamy.
Season and serve: Season the risotto with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot in individual plates, and if you wish, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top to give it a touch of color and freshness.
Enjoy this exquisite risotto with truffle sauce ! It is a stunning dish that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
