(Recipe courtesy of Francesca, original recipe is called risotto aceto balsamico tradizionale modena)
Ingredients: (yield 2 servings as the first course)
- 1 cup riso carnaroli superfino
- 1 shallot, finely diced
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- few dashes of white wine
- 1 small apple, peel and diced
- 2 Tbsp heavy cream
- 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar of Modena
- a few cups vegetable broth
- 2 - 3 Tbsp parmiggiano reggiano
- 1 Tbsp butter
Directions
- Let the broth simmer in a pot throughtout all the following process. Soak the diced apple in cream.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil, saute the shallot for a minute, stir in rice and saute for another 2 minutes, add wine.
- Spoon some broth by a ladle into the rice, lower the heat to simmer, stir and add broth constantly (refer the cooking direction on the rice's pack). About half way done (10 minutes), add the apple and cream. When almost done (another 7 minutes for me), stir in cheese and butter. Drizzle balsamic vinegar to finish.

Gattina, I really would love to try this. Do you think it will be suitable for a hot day? If yes I am going to make it very soon. Out of idea for summer food now! Thanks dear. :)
Meeta, you're welcome. it's very good!
Anh, personally I feel it's more autumn. And best to eat risotto when it's very hot. Oh dear, that 39C is too hard to take...
Gattina, it's so hard to catch up with your posts, so many delish food from your 'new kitchen' these days :)
Gattina, risotto is my favorite food in the whole world!
Apples soaked in cream?? Parmesan cheese?? It doesn't get any better then that!
That is soooo good Gattina!Photos are excellent.A great dish!Enjoy.
Absolutely amazing! I'm intruiged by the fruit in a risotto idea (I've only ever had savoury risottos) but this looks too marvelous to resist!
I've been wanting to make a sweet risotto ever since the last Donna Hay event but haven't gotten around to it yet, this definitely makes me want to.
What alovely picture,hmmmmm I am just drooling, Gattina dear, you are gonna make my self control disappear with your delicious posts.Thanks for sharing & happy weekend :))
What a nice presentation! Gattina, I loved those small, cute, glass plates.
Angie, your work busy? did see you update for a while ...
Pat sweetie! same! Just give me a plate of risotto (or any rice) I'm the happiest woman in the world!
Asha, you're always so sweet!
