Pancetta And Cabbage Risotto Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Katerina / All my dishes 2 years, 10 months ago The smoky flavour of the pancetta makes a beautiful contrast to the Savoy Cabbage. I like this as a main - but then it may not serve as many. Prep:5m Cook:40m Servings:4	Katerina

Ingredients

1 small onion, finely diced

1/2C pancetta or bacon, cut into thin strips

1T veg oil

3T butter

1 Savoy Cabbage, stalk removed, finely shredded.

Meat broth, simmering

1 1/2C arborio rice

1/2C parmesan, grated

salt and pepper

Directions

In a large dutch oven melt 2T of the butter with the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and the pancetta and cook until the onion is lightly browned, do not let burn.

Add the cabbage and turn the heat down to medium low. Turn a few times and cover. Cook until the cabbage becomes "colored a rich nut brown" stirring every few minutes to prevent burning.

Add the rice to the pot, turn the heat back up to medium and stir quickly, start adding ladlefuls of broth one at a time as they get absorbed. Stir continuously. Continue doing this until the rice is soft but still a little al dente.

Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining butter, parmesan and season to taste.

Husband and I just made a risotto recipe for the first time the other night and I think I am hooked. Your recipe looks like another one that I will just have to try.

Risotto is one of my favorite things to prepare.
I like using the pancetta,it seems to caramelize with the onions in this dish and give the Risotto a richness that makes a wonderful compliment to the cabbage.
Very good

Count me in on the risotto love. The carmelized onions and cabbage make this an irresitable combination. Yum.

Use chicken or vegetable broth instead of beef broth. Add 1 small clove of garlic to be added at the end of cooking onions (30 seconds). Use bacon, preferably.
