Three Cheese Risotto
- About 1 quart chicken stock, preferably organic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 medium onions, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely chopped
- 3 sticks of celery, trimmed and finely chopped
- 1 3/4 cups uncooked risotto rice
- 2 wine glasses of dry white wine
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 ounces Appenzeller or Gruyere cheese, roughly chopped
- 4 ounces Taleggio cheese, roughly chopped
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 2 ounces Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- Heat the stock in a pan over a moderate heat.
- Heat the olive oil in a separate pan.
- Add the onions, garlic and celery, and fry gently for about 5 minutes until softened.
- Add the rice to the pan and turn up the heat.
- Cook for a minute or so, stirring constantly, until the rice looks slightly translucent.
- Add the wine and keep stirring.
- Once the wine has been absorbed by the rice, add a ladle of hot stock and a good pinch of salt and pepper.
- Turn the heat down to a simmer so the rice doesnt cook too quickly on the outside.
- Add the stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each ladleful to be absorbed before adding the next, until the rice is cooked but still holds its shape this takes about 15 minutes.
- Stir in the Appenzeller or Gruyere and Taleggio.
- Remove the pan from the heat and season to taste, then beat in the butter and Parmesan.
- Place a lid on the pan and leave to rest for 2 to 3 minutes your risotto will get nice and oozy.
- Enjoy!
