Ingredients

•200g high-quality Carnaroli rice
•250g sunchokes, peeled and diced
•20g fresh black winter truffle
•800ml double-strained vegetable or light chicken stock, kept at a simmer
•1 large shallot, finely minced
•60ml cold dry white wine (e.g., Gavi or Pinot Grigio)
•50g chilled unsalted cultured butter, cubed
•40g Parmigiano Reggiano, aged 36 months, finely grated
•30g toasted Piemonte hazelnuts, roughly crushed
•30ml heavy cream
•20ml premium extra virgin olive oil

Cooking Instructions

  1. 01

    To make the sunchoke purée: Boil the diced sunchokes in salted water until very tender. Drain and blend with heavy cream and a pinch of salt until perfectly smooth. Set aside and keep warm.

  2. 02

    In a wide, heavy-bottomed pan, sweat the shallots in olive oil over low heat until translucent but not browned.

  3. 03

    Increase the heat to medium. Add the Carnaroli rice and 'tostatura' (toast) the grains for 2 minutes until they are hot to the touch and smell slightly nutty.

  4. 04

    Deglaze the pan with the cold white wine, stirring constantly until the alcohol has evaporated and the liquid is absorbed.

  5. 05

    Begin adding the simmering stock one ladle at a time, stirring frequently to release the rice starch. Maintain a gentle simmer throughout the process.

  6. 06

    Halfway through the cooking process (at about 8 minutes), stir in the sunchoke purée.

  7. 07

    Continue adding stock until the rice is 'al dente'—firm to the bite but creamy (approximately 16-18 minutes total).

  8. 08

    Perform the 'Mantecatura': Remove the pan from the heat. Vigorously beat in the chilled butter and Parmigiano Reggiano to create a wave-like ('all'onda') consistency.

  9. 09

    Adjust seasoning with fine sea salt. Cover and let the risotto rest for 60 seconds.

  10. 10

    Plate the risotto on warm flat plates. Garnish with the crushed hazelnuts and shave the fresh black truffle generously over the top at the table.

The Caprese Salad Skewers recipe was a triumph! I prepared them for a party's barbecue and everyone loved them. The basil was so aromatic, the mozzarella so fresh, and the skewers were the perfect size and an appropriate.
