Ingredients to make Brie Cheese Risotto:
- 2 cups of arboreal rice
- 1 liter of vegetable or hot chicken broth
- ½ onion, chopped
- 3 tablespoons of butter
- 100 grams of Brie cheese
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste
- pepper to taste
How to make Brie Cheese Risotto:
- Fry the onion in a saucepan with 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil until golden brown
- Add the arboreal rice and sauté for 3 minutes until the grains begin to turn transparent.
- Add the white wine and stir well so that the alcohol evaporates completely.
- Then, you see adding ladles of vegetable or chicken broth, always without stopping stirring so that the brie cheese risotto releases the starches and thickens.
- When you see that the rice has already absorbed almost all the liquid, add another ladle of broth again until cooking is complete.
- Tip: The broth that you add to the risotto must always be hot beforehand so as not to stop the cooking of the rice at any time.
- You see repeating the process of adding broth to the easy cheese risotto until the rice is properly cooked (ideally it is al dente, neither too raw nor overcooked).
- Once it has arrived, add the Brie cheese in pieces and mix to melt well.
- Tip: Taste the rice to see if it’s al dente.
- The consistency of the grain should be slightly raw at this point.
- To finish add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, a tablespoon of butter and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir to mix everything.
- Serve the Brie cheese risotto immediately and eat it fresh because when it cools down it doesn’t look the same.
- Take advantage! And for the main course or as an accompaniment I recommend some veal scallops with lemon and for dessert, a classic tiramisu.
