Pangrattato: crunchy, flavorful breadcrumb topping.
Ingredients:
  • 1 lemon zest of
  • 3 dried bird's-eye chillies
  • 4 cloves garlic peeled
  • 6 good-quality salted anchovy fillets in oil
  • ½ large loaf ciabatta stale if possible, cut into chunks
  • 1 x
  • 700 ml organic vegetable or chicken stock hot
  • 50 g butter
  • 1 small handful Parmesan cheese freshly grated, plus a block for grating
Instructions:
  • In a food processor, blend lemon zest, dried chillies, garlic, anchovies, and bread chunks with a bit of anchovy oil until it resembles breadcrumbs. Heat a large frying pan with olive oil, fry the breadcrumbs until crispy, then drain on kitchen paper to cool. Prepare your basic risotto. In a saucepan on medium-high heat, pour in half the stock and all the risotto base. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer until most of the stock is absorbed. Gradually add the rest of the stock until the rice is cooked to a creamy consistency. Be cautious not to overcook. Turn off the heat, mix in butter and Parmesan, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Let the risotto rest for a minute covered. Serve directly from the pan or plate individually, garnish with pangrattato, Parmesan, and enjoy! Accompany with Italian white Verdicchio wine.
