Risotto Pheasant and Truffle
Ingredients
Serves: 8 people
 1lt jar – Speducci Pheasant Ragu
 150ml – white wine
 700g – Canaroli Rice
 2L – boiling water
 60g – butter
 20ml – olive oil
 100g – grated Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese
 80g – truffle paste
 salt to taste
Risotto
Add olive oil, all the rice to the risotto pan and, without adding any liquid, cook it over medium-
high heat for 3-4 minutes, until you notice a translucent appearance of the grains.
Blend with the remaining white wine and let it evaporate.
In this phase, the heat of the pan changes the surface of the beans making it
more resistant, the acidity of the wine makes it waterproof and with those two
steps the beans do not break and do not lose crunchiness during cooking.
In addition, the release of starch during cooking will be much more gradual,
helping you to obtain a denser and creamier risotto.
Add the boiling cooking water to cover the rice and start cooking it, add cooking water as you need, always keep the rice wet enough, do not let it dry too much.
Halfway through cooking add the pheasant sauce.
Cooking time for the rice is approximately 16 minutes.
Turn off the heat.
Mantecate – cream it up adding butter, cheese, truffle paste and salt to taste.
Allow it to sit for 3 minutes and then serve.
