Instructions: Spelt risotto with radicchio and taleggio cheese

For this recipe I used spelt from Cerreto. After cooking the spellt remained intact and rich in flavor.

Rinse the spelt under cold running water and set aside.

Slice the ​​red onion. Discard the core from the radicchio and cut it into juliene then set aside about a quarter. Melt 15 g of butter toghether with the oil in a pan. Add onion and raricchio and cook on medium – low heat until the vegetable are tender and the onion becomes slightly translucent (about 5 min).

At this point add a pinch of salt and spelt. Cook over a high flame for a couple of minutes, then add white wine and cook stirring often for another 2 to 3 minutes.

Gradually begin to add previously heated vegetable broth by adding about a ladle each time. Procede this way until the spelt becomes fully cooked (my took about 20 minutes) by adding more or less broth if necessary.

Toward the end of the cooking add the rest of the radicchio and cook for another 30 seconds. Combine the butter, mix and cook another 30 seconds.

At this point turn off the flame and add taleggio cheese (previously cut into squeres). Cover the pan with the lid and let it rest for 2 minutes then stir well to make the cheese melt and make the spelt risotto rich and creamy.

Taste, adjust with salt if necessary and serve.
