Chestnut and Bacon Risotto With Savoy Cabbage image

This combination is so autumnal. Roast your own chestnuts if you wish or you can buy cooked vacuum-packed chestnuts at specialty stores. This is rich, filling risotto from Food and Drink. This will serve two as a main course, or four as a side dish. :)

Time 30m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 1/2 ounces side bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 small onion, finely diced
4 celery ribs, finely diced
3/4 cup arborio rice
2 tablespoons dry vermouth
7 ounces cooked chestnuts
1 cup savoy cabbage, finely shredded
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

  • Pour the chicken stock into a saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium saucepan.
  • Add the bacon, onion and celery, cooking gently until the onion is translucent and the bacon is cooked.
  • Add the rice and stir so that the rice becomes coated in the oil.
  • Add the vermouth and stir until the rice has absorbed all the liquid.
  • Now add a ladleful of stock and continue to stir until all the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Continue this process for 15 minutes, adding stock by the ladleful.
  • Then add the chestnuts and cabbage and continue to cook, adding stock by the ladleful until all the rice is creamy but still has bite - about another 5 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the butter.
  • Divide between serving bowls and pass the Parmesan cheese.
