Ingredients
- 5 -cups chicken stock (or low salt canned broth) shopping list
- 1/4- cup unsalted butter shopping list
- 2 -Tablespoons olive oil shopping list
- 2- granny smith apples (peeled, seeded, and cubed) shopping list
- 2 -garlic cloves, minced shopping list
- 1 1/2- cups arborio rice or short grain white rice shopping list
- 2/3 -cup dry white wine shopping list
- 1/4 -lb pancetta shopping list
- 4- oz blue cheese shopping list
- salt and freshly ground black pepper, optional shopping list
How to make it
- Bring broth to a simmer in a heavy medium saucepan.
- Keep broth warm over very low heat.
- Melt butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium heat.
- Add olive oil, then diced apples and saute until tender, about 6 minutes then add garlic.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer apples to a cutting board. Cut pancetta into a small dice and add to saucepan.
- Render pancetta down until just crispy and transfer to a paper towel. Stir in rice and let it toast for a few minutes.
- Add wine to deglaze and get all of that pancetta goodness into the rice and cook until liquid is absorbed, stirring often, about 2 minutes.
- Add 1 cup of hot broth and simmer over medium-low heat until liquid is absorbed, stirring carefully and often, about 3 minutes.
- Continue to cook until rice is just tender and mixture is creamy (not dry), adding more broth by cupfuls and stirring often, about 25 minutes (the rice will absorb 5-8 cups of broth).
- Stir in crispy pancetta and Blue cheese just before plating.
- Stir to incorporate.
- Plate up immediately and finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and toasted walnuts as a great complement.
- Number of Servings: 6-8
