Risotto and burrata
Ingredients
- 200 g asparagus
- 100 g cavolo nero
- 2 handfuls of peas
- 1.8 L organic vegetable stock
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 70 g parmesan cheese, plus extra to serve
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 small knobs of unsalted butter
- 400 g risotto rice
- 125 ml white wine
- ½ a lemon
- extra virgin olive oil to drizzle
- ball of burrata
- fresh basil to garnish
Method
- Prep your asparagus, season and put in a roasting tray with a little olive oil. Roast for 10-15 mins or until softened.
- Add the cavolo nero and peas to boiling water for no more than two minutes.
- Carefully relocate the greens to a blender using tongs, add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and season to taste with sea salt and black pepper. Add some of the hot water to help loosen it up in the blender.
- Finely chop your onion and garlic. Then place in a large pan on a medium heat with 1 knob of butter and a little olive oil. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the risotto rice and cook for two minutes in the onion and garlic.
- Pour in the white wine and stir until absorbed and reduced down.
- Pour in a ladle of stock, stirring constantly until it is absorbed into the rice. Repeat this process until you use up all your stock and the risotto is a lovely thick, silky consistency.
- At this point, add your green sauce mixture to the risotto, and stir together. Add a squeeze of lemon.
- Take off the heat, add a load of parmesan and stir to combine. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and season to your liking with salt and pepper.
- To serve, ladle onto a plate and top with your asparagus and torn up burrata. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and more parmesan.
