Blanch the shelled fava beans for a few minutes in boiling water, then drain and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to keep their bright green color.

Transfer the fava beans to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree them (set a few whole beans aside for garnish, if you like).

In the same skillet, toast the rice for a minute, then deglaze with the white wine. Begin cooking the rice by adding a ladleful of hot vegetable broth at a time, stirring and adding more as needed.

When the rice is almost done, stir in the fava bean puree and continue cooking, adding broth as needed.

Basic Risotto Basic Risotto
Risotto is one of those basic dishes that is great to have in your back pocket for quick dinners, and using up leftovers. Once you have the basic technique mastered, you can make it as fancy or as casual as you like.TIPS: The basic ratio for risotto is 1 part uncooked rice to 3.5 parts liquid. This will include your stock, wine and any additional liquid you are using. Keep an additional 0.5 parts liquid in reserve, as various rices absorb slightly different amounts of liquid.Most risotto recipes call for wine and stock as the liquid, but you can also make "stock" on the fly with dried mushrooms and aromatics such as carrots and celery, added at the beginning of the process with the onions.A little fat added at the end in the form of butter and/or a bit of grated hard cheese will really help give a creamy finish to your risotto.

When autumn comes you can get fresh porcini and enjoy different dishes with them. Using dried porcini, you can enjoy this risotto all year round. Even my son, who usually doesn't like mushrooms, asks for more.I use less butter and salt than is usual in Italy. Double the amount of the butter and add more salt if you want to try the authentic taste. In this recipe, you don't need any salt as the stock cube and cheese have enough salt. Check the taste first and adjust it to your liking. Recipe by SIVKO cookpad.japan -
