Recipe for Champagne Risotto with Asparagus
This recipe is from Chef Giada De Laurentiis
INGREDIENTS :
4 thin slices prociutto
3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
12 asparagus spears, cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces
2 tbsp butter, divided
1 shallot, finely chopped
3/4 cup Arborio rice
3/4 cup Champagne
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
METHODS :
1. Preheat the oven to 450 degree Farenheit.
2. Place the slices of prociutto on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake until the prociutto slices are almost completely crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes. The slices will crisp up even more as they cool. Reserve for garnish.
3. In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Blanch the asparagus in the chicken broth for 2 minutes. Remove the asparagus with a slotted spoon. Set the asparagus aside and keep the chicken broth at a low simmer.
4. In another medium saucepan, melt 1 tbsp of the butter. Add the shallot and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the Arborio rice and stir to coat in the butter. Continue toasting the rice, stirring constantly, for about 3 minutes more. Add the Champagne and simmer until the liquid has almost evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the simmering chicken broth and stir until almost completely absorbed, about 2 minutes. Continue cooking the rice, adding the broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition of broth to absorb before adding the next, until the rice is tender but still firm to the bite and the mixture is creamy, about 20 minutes total. Remove from the heat. Gently stir in the asparagus, remaining butter, Parmesan, salt and pepper.
To Garnish This Entire Entree
Cut the Rolled Chicken Breast into serving bites and placed on the individual serving platter. Then spoon some tomato sauce on top of the chicken.
Spoon the Champagne Rissoto on the side of the chicken and drizzle with some Basil Oil on top of the chicken and risotto.
Garnish the risotto by breaking the crisp prociutto into smaller pieces and topped the chicken with fried basil leaves.
Serve immediately.
