Risotto with Radicchio

This is today’s lunch … we needed to use up what abounds in this home … radicchio! And here it is a risotto!

Ingredients:
(serves 4)
500 grams of rice (Carnaroli is the best for risotto)
1 radicchio
1 onion
extra virgin olive oil
salt
white wine
vegetable broth

Method:
Wash the radicchio, divide it into four slices and cut it into strips … sauté the chopped onion in a saucepan with olive oil and add radicchio…let it sauté, add salt and rice, stir to toast it a few minutes … then, blend it with the white wine; then, once it will have been all absorbed, just keep on cooking, adding broth, a little at a time, stirring … I had a broth where I cooked some Swiss-chard and I used that … it takes about twenty minutes and then is done!

Comments:
Tonight I have two questions for you, chefs:
1. are the lupin steaks good? Because I’ve some lupins and don’t know what to do with them … I mean, I do not know which flavor lupins have, basically …
and question number
2. what is the tastiest recipe for lentil burgers?

   @ Pizza: 😀

   I love this risotto too, and I usally add a tablespoon of unflavoured soy yogurt, just to make it creamy 😉
