Preparation

Artichoke risotto

1

First of all, start by cleaning the artichokes . Remove all the external leaves and tips, cut them in half to remove the internal beard and finally separate the hearts from the stems. Slice them finely and put them in cold water and lemon, so as not to let them oxidize and blacken.

2

In the meantime, also prepare the vegetable broth you will need for this recipe. Alternatively you can opt for a stock cube or an artichoke stock , prepared using the scraps.

3

In a pan, sauté the artichokes in a pan with salt, pepper and oil . Help yourself with some hot broth to cook them. For a creamy artichoke risotto you can blend part of them and keep it aside, adding it once cooked, before stirring.

4

In another pan, start preparing the risotto: brown the chopped shallot in oil , then add the rice and toast it for a couple of minutes before adding the wine , allowing the alcohol to evaporate.

5

Cook the rice by adding the boiling broth little by little so that it is always covered flush. It will take approximately 16-18 minutes . Halfway through cooking, around ten minutes, also add the previously cooked artichokes .

6

Stir in the butter and parmesan , flavor with freshly chopped parsley and serve.

As you can see, the process is really simple and think that you can make it even quicker thanks to the recipe for artichoke risotto with the Thermomix .

Among the tastiest variations of the dish we would like to recommend the one with sausage , with bacon or the simplest one which involves the addition of saffron during cooking.

Conservation

Risotto is a dish that should be eaten immediately and the one with artichokes is no exception: however, with the leftover rice and well preserved for a day in the refrigerator in an airtight container , you can create recovery recipes, such as meatballs for example.
