Risotto on a stick

Aug 17, 2023

INGREDIENTS

  • 250 g of Carnaroli rice
  • 3 eggs
  • 50 g of parmesan cheese
  • 50 g of gorgonzola
  • 30 g of butter
  • 1/2 glass of dry white wine
  • vegetable broth to taste
  • salt to taste
  • saffron
  • dried beetroot powder (or beetroot puree)
  • blue flower pea powder or other colors/flavors like broccoli powder, spinach, etc.
  • apple cider vinegar (optional)
  • for the Gorgonzola fondue
  • 150 ml of fresh cream
  • 150 g of gorgonzola (or a mix with parmesan)
  • 1 scant teaspoon of potato starch
  • fresh or dried edible flowers for decoration
  • wooden sticks for ice cream and silicone molds

PROCEDURE

  • Prepare a risotto by toasting the rice dry. When the grains are hot and translucent, add the white wine and wait for it to evaporate.
  • Meanwhile, heat the vegetable stock and add it a ladle at a time to cook the risotto.
  • Adjust the seasoning and stir in the butter and very cold gorgonzola and the grated parmesan.
  • Let it cool and add the lightly beaten eggs.
  • If you want to prepare sticks of various colours you will have to divide the risotto into different bowls (three for me) and add the flavour/colour variant to each one.
  • Aside from saffron, if you make other colors you can add half a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to keep the color while cooking.
  • Distribute the risotto in the molds, level and insert the toothpick. Bake at 170 ° for about 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool before unmolding.
  • Prepare the Gorgonzola fondue by pouring the cream into a saucepan with a thick bottom, adding the starch and the Gorgonzola in pieces and mixing until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
  • Serve the risotto on a stick after having 'sunk' it into the fondue or distribute it only on the surface and if you like decorate with flowers or petals.
