WHATS UP DOC?

Bring the chicken or vegetable stock to a gentle simmer in a medium saucepan and keep hot over low heat.

Zest and juice the lemon(s). Finely grate Pecorino Romano. Peel and devein shrimp if needed and pat dry with paper towels.

Measure out rice, wine, and other ingredients so everything is ready to add while cooking risotto.

In a small food processor or blender, combine basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, 1 tbsp grated Pecorino, lemon juice, and salt. Pulse to break down.

With the motor running, drizzle in 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil until a loose emulsion forms. Taste and adjust salt or lemon. If too thick, add 1–2 tsp warm water to loosen. Transfer to a small bowl and refrigerate until serving.

Season the shrimp with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tbsp lemon zest. Toss to coat.

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook 1–1.5 minutes per side, until just pink and opaque (do not overcook). Remove shrimp to a plate and keep warm. Reserve any pan juices for finishing if desired.

In a wide heavy-bottomed saucepan or sauté pan, heat 2 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and softened, 4–5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the Arborio rice and stir to coat the grains in fat; cook 1–2 minutes until the edges of the rice are translucent and the center is opaque.

Sweat aromatics and toast rice

Pour in 1 cup dry white wine and cook, stirring, until the wine has mostly evaporated and the rice has absorbed the liquid, about 2–3 minutes.

Deglaze with wine

Begin adding the hot stock one ladle (about 1/2 cup) at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until most of the liquid is absorbed before adding the next ladle. Continue this process for 18–20 minutes, or until the rice is creamy and al dente. Stir often to encourage creaminess and prevent sticking. Reserve a small cup of hot stock in case you need to loosen the risotto at the end.

Add stock gradually

When the rice is just tender with a slight bite, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in 3 oz finely grated Pecorino Romano, 1 tbsp butter (for finishing), 1 tbsp lemon zest, and 2 tsp fresh lemon juice. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper (adjust to taste). If the risotto seems too thick, stir in up to 1/4 cup reserved hot stock to reach a loose, creamy consistency.

Finish risotto

Taste and adjust seasoning. The risotto should be creamy and spread slightly on the plate rather than holding a rigid mound.

Fold the cooked shrimp gently into the finished risotto, reserving a few shrimp for garnish if desired.

Spoon risotto into warm shallow bowls. Drizzle about 1 tsp of basil pesto over each portion (more to taste) and finish with a light scattering of chiffonade basil and an extra sprinkle of Pecorino Romano.

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the prosciutto, salami, capicola, and bresaola. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 inch for the best texture and flavor.

Slice the cured meats

Cut the Parmesan, Gorgonzola, Mozzarella, and Pecorino cheeses into bite-sized cubes or wedges. This will make them easy to pick up and enjoy.

Cut the cheeses

On a large serving platter, arrange the sliced cured meats in one section and the cheeses in another. Make sure to leave some space in between for the accompaniments.

Arrange the platter

Place the mixed olives, cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves around the meats and cheeses. Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the tomatoes and basil for added flavor.

Add accompaniments

Slice the focaccia bread into small pieces and place it alongside the platter for dipping and enjoying with the meats and cheeses.

Balsamic vinegar

In a small bowl, mix the warm water (about 110°F) with the active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Activate the Yeast

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil.

Mix the Ingredients

Mix the ingredients with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Then transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Knead the Dough

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until it has doubled in size.

First Rise

While the dough is rising, crush the San Marzano tomatoes by hand in a bowl. Add salt to taste and mix well.

Prepare the Tomato Sauce

Slice the fresh mozzarella cheese into thin rounds and set aside.

Slice the Cheese

Preheat your oven to the highest temperature (around 475°F to 500°F) and place a pizza stone inside if you have one.

Preheat the Oven

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and let them rest for 15 minutes.

Shape the Dough

On a floured surface, gently stretch each ball of dough into a 10-12 inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.

Roll Out the Dough

Spread a thin layer of the prepared tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Arrange slices of mozzarella cheese and a few fresh basil leaves on top. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.

Add Toppings

Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone) and bake for about 8-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

Bake the Pizza

Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a minute, then add additional fresh basil if desired and slice into wedges. Serve hot.

Prepare the Cheese and Charcuterie Board

Place the prosciutto and salami around the cheeses on the platter, folding or rolling the slices for a visually appealing presentation.

Add Charcuterie

Scatter the marinated olives around the cheeses and meats. Slice the baguette into thin pieces and arrange them on the board.

Include Accompaniments

In a large pitcher, combine 1 cup of dark roast coffee grounds with 4 cups of cold water. Stir gently to ensure all coffee grounds are saturated. Cover and let it steep in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours.

Brew the Cold Brew Coffee

After steeping, strain the coffee through a fine mesh sieve or coffee filter into a clean container to remove the coffee grounds. Discard the grounds and keep the cold brew coffee in the refrigerator.

Strain the Coffee

Take a tall glass and fill it with 1 cup of ice cubes.

Prepare the Glass

Pour 1 oz of Jameson Cold Brew and 1 oz of Bailey's Irish Cream over the ice. Add 1 tbs of dark caramel syrup.

Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds until well chilled and diluted.
