Did you know that
In this recipe we used three typical Veneto food products. Amarone is a DOCG passito red wine, produced in Valpolicella (in the province of Verona). Vialone Nano is a starch-rich rice ideal for risottos: it is grown in areas irrigated with spring water, in the upper basin area hydrographic of the Tartaro river.
Monte Veronese is a typical cheese of Lessinia and can be added to risotto at the end of cooking.- At this point, add the Amarone wine, a little at a time, maintaining a lively flame to quickly evaporate the alcohol in the wine.
- Add a ladle of boiling broth at a time, stirring often to facilitate the escape of the starch from the rice grains. Sprinkle the rice with the broth, slowly, taking care to keep it boiling. It is advisable to leave the saucepan uncovered (without covering it with the lid) to avoid perceiving the presence of alcohol in the risotto.
- Cook the rice for 13-14 minutes, respecting the times recommended in the package.
- Meanwhile, cut the Monte Veronese cheese into cubes.
- At the end of cooking, open the lid, raise the heat and finish with the Monte Veronese cheese and a grind of black pepper. Season with salt.
- Turn off the heat, let the risotto rest for a couple of minutes and serve hot.
- Taste the risotto with a glass of Amarone della Valpolicella wine.
