Risotto Base

Sea Urchin Topping

Method

Beef Prosciutto Preparation

  1. 1

    Curing the Beef

    Mix kosher salt, black pepper, dried thyme, garlic powder, and curing salt. Rub the mixture thoroughly over the beef. Wrap in cheesecloth and refrigerate for at least 2 weeks.

  2. 2

    Slicing the Prosciutto

    After curing, remove the beef from the fridge, rinse off the salt mixture, and slice thinly using a sharp knife.

Risotto Preparation

  1. 3

    Cooking the Risotto

    In a saucepan, heat chicken broth and keep it warm. In a large pan, melt butter over medium heat, add shallots and garlic, sauté until translucent. Add Arborio rice, stirring for 1-2 minutes until slightly toasted. Pour in white wine, stirring until absorbed. Gradually add warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently until rice is creamy and al dente.

  2. 4

    Finishing the Risotto

    Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Plating the Dish

    Spoon a generous portion of UNI risotto onto the plate. Top with slices of beef prosciutto and carefully place fresh sea urchin on top. Garnish with lemon zest and chives.
