Ingredients

6 cups chicken stock unsalted
2 cups Arborio risotto rice
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese grated
1 black truffle
2 teaspoons kosher salt

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Gather all the tools and ingredients for making truffle risotto.
Grate parmesan cheese.

Cooking Instructions

Heat the stock in a separate pot. It must be hot when added to the risotto.
Heat a large pan and add the rice. Toast the rice for 2-3 minutes.
Add the stock in ½ cup intervals. You will add stock more quickly in the first 10 minutes. Do not allow the pan to dry; stir frequently to prevent sticking.
Add in the salt after 15 minutes of cooking.
Cook, stirring constantly, until the rice is al dente, approximately 20-25 minutes. Remove from the heat when cooked.
Add the butter and parmesan. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Using a microplane grater, grate some of your truffle into the risotto. Mix well.
Ladle the risotto into bowls and top with thin slices of truffle. Serve immediately.

Notes

You may use beef or vegetable stock if you would like. Just make sure that there is no sodium!

Your rice may need more than the six cups of stock, or less. It all depends on the rice and how you like it cooked. I prepared eight cups of stock and used just over six.

If you let your risotto sit, it will turn from creamy to gummy in a heartbeat. Make sure that you serve it quickly after cooking.

Looking to reheat your truffle risotto? Easy. Use a non-stick pan and heat the risotto first. Once it is hot, add in water in 1/2 cup increments until it is creamy and delicious again.
