Total time :
Foie gras risotto for 4 people:
- 250g round rice (carnaroli* for example)
- 20cl sweet white wine (white Bordeaux or Sauternes)
- 1 onion peeled and finely diced
- 1 liter of poultry stock (prepared)
- 150g block of foie gras cut into cubes (1cm)
- 100g of fresh grated Parmesan cheese
- 30g of butter
- salt and pepper from the mill.
Progression
In a sauté pan, melt butter and add onions. Sweat gently for 5 minutes, then add rice and continue to cook until the rice turns slightly translucent.
Add white wine, stirring constantly, and let the rice absorb the liquid fully.
Slowly, ladle by ladle, incorporate the poultry stock into the rice, stirring with a spatula and allowing the rice to absorb the liquid each time. Continue until the rice is cooked and no longer able to absorb any more liquid (18 to 20 minutes).
Test the rice for doneness, it should still be slightly "al dente," and check the seasoning. Then, remove from heat and add diced foie gras and grated parmesan. Keep the foie gras risotto in a double boiler until ready to serve.
In our kitchens, we have recently received an exceptional quality rice from the brand Riso Gallo - the Carnaroli GRAN RISERVA matured for 1 year. If you see it at an Italian grocer, do not hesitate as the result is sumptuous for recipes like this.
