Alba White Truffles Recipe

Directions for Preparing Alba White Truffles Risotto

1. 1

   Prepare the Broth

   In a saucepan, heat the chicken or vegetable broth over low heat and keep it warm while you prepare the risotto.

2. 2

   Sauté Aromatics

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and minced garlic, sautéing until they are soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3. 3

   Toast the Rice

   Add the Arborio rice to the skillet, stirring well to coat it with the oil and butter. Toast the rice for about 2 minutes until it turns slightly translucent.

4. 4

   Deglaze with Wine

   Pour in the white wine and stir constantly until it is mostly absorbed by the rice.

5. 5

   Cook the Risotto

   Begin adding the warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow each addition to be absorbed before adding the next. This process should take about 18-20 minutes until the rice is creamy and al dente.

6. 6

   Finish the Risotto

   Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

7. 7

   Serve with Truffles

   Plate the risotto and generously shave Alba white truffles over the top. Serve immediately.
