Description

This is one of my favorite rissotto recipes to make for my family, it's super delicious and great with roasted chicken.

Ingredients

  • 10 c homemade chicken stock
  • 2 c cooked and chopped frozen spinach, well drained
  • 2 T minced garlic
  • 1 pn fresh nutmeg
  • 1 stick un-salted butter
  • 3 T olive oil
  • 0.5 c minced pancetta
  • 1 T fresh thyme
  • 4 minced shallots
  • 3 c arborio rice
  • 1 c crème fraiche
  • 12 oz ground aged reggianno parmesan of the highest quality

Instructions

Heat the stock to @ 200 degrees, reserve.
Puree the spinach and reserve.
In a large heavy pot, combine the pancetta, nutmeg, garlic, thyme, shallots, ¾ of the butter and oil over low heat until the shallots are cooked through. Add the rice, stirring well to coat the rice with the oil, for 2 minutes.
When the rice becomes vaguely translucent add a few ladles of the stock to cover the rice barely, stir over the heat and keep adding stock as need to cover rice with a veil of liquid.
Keep cooking until rice is creamy, grains are distinct and separate and just al dente.
Stir in spinach and crème fraiche.
Cook for a few minutes more.
Add the rest of the butter and ½ the cheese, stirring gently.
Let sit for 60 seconds and serve passing the rest of the cheese.
