Red Wine Risotto
Warm up this winter with a rich hearty risotto, infused with robust red wine. Our Vialone Nano rice is simmered with Aneto chicken broth, and finished with a generous drizzle of Organic Aged Balsamic Vinegar from La Vecchia Dispensa, Lorenzo No 1 Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Cravero Parmigiano Reggiano.
Ingredients
- 30g Lescure butter
- 1 brown onion, finely diced
- 1½ cups SIMON JOHNSON Vialone Nano rice
- 1 cup red wine, (adjust if you'd prefer more)
- 2–3 cups Aneto Chicken Broth
- 3 tbsp Cravero Parmigiano Reggiano, grated (plus extra for serving)
- Tasman Sea Salt, to taste
To Serve - drizzle over the risotto
- Lorenzo Olive Oil No. 1
- La Vecchia Dispensa 8 Yr Organic Balsamic Vinegar ‘High Density’
- fresh herbs to garnish (chopped chives and oregano)
Instructions
- Melt the butter over medium heat in a pan. Add the onion, cook gently until soft and translucent.
- Add the Vialone Nano rice and cook for 1–2 minutes, allowing the grains to absorb the butter and lightly toast.
- Add red wine, stir until it has been mostly absorbed by the rice. Add some chicken broth and stir again. Continue to add the broth, a little at a time, allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more. (Adjust with a little more red wine if needed).
- Cook through for approximately 18–20 minutes, or until al dente. Stir in the grated Parmigiano Reggiano and season with sea salt to taste.
To Serve
- Spoon the risotto into warm bowls. Drizzle generously with Lorenzo Olive Oil No. 1, add a few drops of La Vecchia Dispensa ‘High Density’ Organic Balsamic Vinegar.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and extra Parmigiano.
