RISOTTO WITH FENNEL & VODKA RECIPE - (4.1/5)
Provided by ltrodrigu
Number Of Ingredients 14
Steps:
- Remove and discard outer leaves of fennel bulbs and finely chop bulbs. Chop fennel tops and reserve. Use a mortar and pestle to crush garlic, chilies, fennel seeds and 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt, forming a paste. In a medium-size, nonreactive bowl, mix together vodka, lemon juice and chopped fennel tops. Set aside to macerate. In a medium stockpot, bring broth to a simmer over high heat. Reduce heat to low. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, melt half of butter along with oil. Add onions and sweat 2 minutes. Add fennel seed paste and stir to combine. Add chopped fennel bulb and cook, stirring, until soft, 7 minutes. Add rice and stir to coat. Start adding broth, one ladle at a time. Stir continuously, allowing each ladleful to be absorbed by rice before adding the next. Continue until rice is al dente, about 20 minutes. Stir in remaining butter, fennel-vodka mixture and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
