Ingredients

  • 4 cups of low-sodium vegetable broth, possibly more if required
  • 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil for a delicate touch
  • Just under a full cup of Arborio rice for that perfect risotto texture
  • A generous ¾ cup of Prosecco for a touch of effervescence
  • 1 cup of freshly chopped strawberries for a burst of fruity sweetness
  • 2 tablespoons of creamy goat cheese to add a tangy note
  • A quarter cup of grated Grana Padano cheese for a rich, nutty flavor
  • 2 teaspoons of balsamic vinegar to bring a hint of acidity

Step 1

Gently heat the broth in a saucepan on low flame to prepare its warmth. Meanwhile, in a separate large saucepan, let the olive oil come to life over medium-high heat. Introduce the rice and swirl it around until each grain is enveloped in the oil, turning a pale gold hue, which should take roughly 2 minutes. It's time to add a splash of Prosecco; keep stirring diligently until the wine merges seamlessly with the rice.

Step 2

Begin the infusion process by incorporating 1/2 cup of the warm broth, stirring until it's fully absorbed. Follow it up with another 1/2 cup of broth along with the vibrant strawberries, ensuring each addition is fully integrated. The next step involves adding 1/2 cup of broth, a blend of Grana Padana cheese and creamy goat cheese, allowing them to meld into a luscious concoction. Continue this ritual of adding broth in 1/2 cup increments, stirring continuously, until the liquid is soaked up, and the rice attains that perfect al dente texture. This gradual absorption should take approximately 18 minutes. Once done, turn off the heat and let the risotto rest for 2 minutes before plating.

Step 3

Serve this delectable creation by dividing the risotto onto two plates and crowning each portion with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, adding that final touch of tangy sweetness.
