Risotto with Black Truffle

From Sentidos Truferos and with the help of @cookerysunday we want to drive you crazy with a recipe that will make all the difference.

The Black Truffle of Teruel is a special ingredient that each cook can use to their liking (except freezing it, that's a sin). Today we want to show you a recipe that will not leave anyone indifferent, as it takes us to Tuscany, the most traditional Italy, with a simple recipe and seasonal products.

We are going to prepare a typical Italian dish, beetroot risotto, to which we will add Gorgonzola cream and our Tuber Melanosporum from Teruel , which will make this dish unforgettable.

Elaboration:

1. We'll start with the gorgonzola cream. Put the cream and cheese in a saucepan and heat gently until combined. Season with salt and pepper, blend until smooth, and set aside.
2. We roast the thoroughly cleaned beets in an ovenproof dish on a layer of coarse salt and bake for 1 hour at 200ºC. We let them cool, peel them, and cut them into cubes.
3. Finely chop the shallot and sauté it in a saucepan with half the butter. Add the rice and sauté until it begins to turn translucent. Add the wine and let it evaporate.
4. Add the beetroot and a couple of ladles of stock, which you will have heated beforehand, and stir continuously.
5. As the broth evaporates, continue adding ladles. Repeat this process for about 18 minutes.
6. We take the risotto off the heat, add the rest of the butter and 3/4 of the Parmesan cheese.
7. We serve the risotto and finish with a few lines of gorgonzola cream, some shavings of black truffle and the rest of the parmesan.

Tips :
You can use cooked beets, but the flavor is better when they are roasted.
If you can't find Vialone Nano rice, you can use other varieties of risotto rice.
