Gennaro Contaldo's Spring Vegetable Risotto Recipe | Citalia
Made with fresh, spring vegetables such as asparagus, peas, broad beans, and courgettes, Gennaro Contaldo’s Risotto Primavera (spring vegetable risotto) is an easy meal to prepare and provides a real taste of the season.
Risotto is mainly a northern Italian dish due to the rice growing regions of Lombardy, Piemonte and Veneto, however, it is now widely eaten all over Italy and here in the UK too.
Do you want to know how to make risotto? Gennaro Contaldo shows you how to make his delicious vegetarian risotto in this easy to follow video. Enjoy!
Ingredients
• 2 x courgettes
• 100g asparagus
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 x small onion, very finely chopped
• ½ stalk celery, very finely chopped
• 350g arborio rice
• 100g fresh peas, clean weight
• 100g fresh broad beans, clean weight
• ½ glass white wine
• 1.5 litres vegetable stock, kept gently simmering in a pan
• 25g butter
• 25g parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Method
First prepare the courgettes. Wash well and trim the ends. With a small sharp knife, cut strips lengthways of the green part and chop very finely. Discard the white middle bit (you can keep for your vegetable stocks). Then prepare the asparagus. Discard the hard part of the asparagus, finely chop the rest keeping aside the tips.
Heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Add the onion and celery and sweat on a gentle heat. Add the rice and stir well coating each grain with the oil ensuring you don't burn the rice so keep on a gentle heat and keep stirring. You will notice the rice granules become shiny. At this stage, add the white wine, keep stirring until the wine evaporates. Then add the peas, broad beans, courgettes and asparagus (not the tips), mix well, always ensuring that the vegetables do not stick.
Add a couple of ladlefuls of stock and keep stirring until the liquid evaporates. Then add more stock and continue to do so for about 20/25 minutes. About 5 minutes before the end of cooking time, add the asparagus tips. Remove from the heat, beat in the butter and parmesan.
Leave to rest for a minute and serve immediately.

Do we need to wash the risotto before using it or no need?

@@giovanni6636 Nah, he says 'or you could use mint' but doesn't mention what that was he chopped in. To me it looked like fresh basil, the leaf was too smooth for mint which has ridges on the leaf
Did anyone notice that he whispered “and plenty of olive oil” !?

He already mentioned that he used fully seasoned stock, so it would be unnecessary to add salt into the risotto again.
ARE YOU LOSE YOU MIND Gennaro ????????

John 3 (KJV) - ዮሃንስ 16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19: And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.John 14 (KJV) - ዮሃንስ 6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7: If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.Romans 10 (KJV) - ሮሜ 8: But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10: For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Lol, way too many veggies for the amount of rice.
