Ingredients

250 g carnaroli rice

75 cl vegetable stock

8 cl white wine

400 g late red radicchio

30 g onion

100 g butter

100 g grated parmesan

50 ml vinegar

salt as requested

Procedure for the radicchio

 

Cut the tips of the curled leaves from the heads of radicchio for a length of at least 12 cm.
Bring 2 liters of lightly salted water to the boil and add the vinegar; boil for 3 minutes the tips of the l
eaves of the radicchio, which should then be drained gently and spread out to dry on a paper towel. 
Grease the molds with the butter and then place the leaves starting the tops from the bottom center.
When the operation is complete, put all the molds in the fridge. Alternatively, leave the radicchio tips to soak 
for 20 minutes in acidified water and then bake in the steam oven according to the following procedure.

 Procedure for the risotto 

 

Bring the broth to a boil. In another saucepan, brown the finely chopped onion with 30 grams of butter. 
Then add the remaining radicchio, cut into small pieces of about 1 cm; leave to dry a few minutes and then 
add the white wine. When the white wine is faded, add the rice and then the broth, not all together, 
but adding them whenever necessary. Check the salt. Finish cooking and then stir the risotto with 
the butter and the grated cheese, then fill the molds with the freshly creamed rice, taking care not 
to move the previously placed leaves, and then let stand for 4 or 5 minutes. Then proceed with the plating. 
Alternatively and with a number of portions of more than 20, you can proceed with cooking in the oven, 
browning the onion and radicchio butter in a pan for a few minutes. After adding and allowing the wine 
to blend, rice and broth are added together. 
The pan is covered with a lid and cooked in the way indicated below. At the end whisk with butter and 
cheese and fill the molds.

Chef tips

 

Pay particular attention to the preparation of the radicchio to have a more pleasant color effect.
For a more compact timbale, we suggest to cook the risotto al dente. For this recipe, a side dish of 
tasty seasonal mushrooms is perfect.
