This is one of my comfort food recipes. Most of these recipes have sultanas or raisins in them, but I don’t like it so much. I just don’t like the feel of them 😉 So I add some more nuts to give it an extra crunch. Enjoy! ♥ Joure
Recipe: Chocolate and nut Risotto
Ingredients:
600ml milk
25g sugar
50g butter
125g risotto rice
50g toasted hazelnuts, chopped
50g toasted macadamia nuts, chopped
125g dark chocolate (chilli chocolate also works great for a zing)
splash of brandy or amaretto
grated milk chocolate, to sprinkle on top
Method:
1. Heat the milk and sugar in a saucepan until it is almost boiling
2. Melt the butter in a big saucepan, add the rice and make sure the rice is coated well
3. Add the milk a bit at a time, about 1/4 cup, until it is absorbed by the rice. This will take a while but don’t hurry, it will be worth the wait
4. When the milk is all in, add the nuts and a splash of brandy or amaretto and mix it in quickly
5. Sprinkle the grated chocolate on and serve
