1.5l vegetable stock
1 shallot or 1/2 brown onion
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
300g arborio rice
250ml prosecco wine
2 pears
40g walnuts coarsely crushed
100g creamy gorgonzola cheese
80g grated parmesan cheese
30g butter
2 tbsp Mazzetti Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
Salt & pepper to season
6 cups vegetable stock
1 shallot or 1/2 yellow onion
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
11oz arborio rice
1 cup prosecco wine
2 pears
1.5oz walnuts coarsely crushed
3.5oz creamy gorgonzola cheese
3 oz grated parmesan cheese
1oz butter
2 tbsp Mazzetti Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
Salt & pepper to season
In a pot, heat the vegetable stock and keep it boiling hot.
Finely slice the shallot and place it in a pan with the olive oil and cook until golden. Add the arborio rice to the pan and toast until grains start to become translucent. Add the Prosecco and stir until it evaporates completely. Add two scoops of hot stock to fully cover the rice. Then gradually add a scoop of stock at a time whilst stirring occasionally. The rice always needs to be fully covered with broth to ensure it cooks throughout. Cook for approx. 15 minutes (check recommended cooking time for the rice you are using).
Meanwhile, shell the walnuts and peel the pears. Blend the pears into a mixer and keep ½ pear finely sliced for the finishing.
When the rice is almost cooked, add the pureed pear and Gorgonzola. Take off the heat and add grated parmesan cheese, butter and Gold Label Balsamic Vinegar. Stir gently until the butter is completely melted and the Parmigiano becomes creamy.
Serve the Risotto on a dinner plate and add walnuts and the remaining sliced pear. Dress with Balsamic Vinegar.
