With Marisma and Bomba, the most used kind of rice used in traditional Catalan cuisine, I had the chance of experiencing Carnaroli, one of the ideal kind of rice for risottos.
Obviously, I cooked:
Mussels risotto
Steam cook 24 mussels. Put out shells and strain the cooking water. Fry a medium spring onion and a little green pepper cut little in a bit of oil. When they are fried, add a garlic clove cut tiny and one soup-spoon of parsley. Later, add two glasses of rice. Move. Add half a glass of beer. When it is reduced, add some saffron threads and mussels water, fish stock or water little by little. Control the level of salt. When rice is almost cooked, add mussels and finish it with a full soup-spoon of mascarpone.
White and green risotto
Fry half a fennel bulb cut in julienne, a medium spring onion and a little green pepper cut little in a bit of oil. When they are fried, add a garlic clove cut tiny and one soup-spoon of parsley. Later, add two glasses of rice. Move. Add half a glass of beer. When it is reduced, add vegetables stock or water little by little. When rice is half cooked, add some cut asparagus and some broccoli. Control the level of salt. When rice is cooked, add a soup-spoon of mascarpone.
Sweet risotto
In a pot, boil four glasses of milk, one stick of cinnamon, one vanilla branch and the peel of a lemon (just the yellow part). When it starts boiling, turn the fire off. Also, make a syrup with one glass of sugar and six sugar soupspoons. In a frying pan, add a little bit of butter and one glass of rice. After a minute, add milk slowly and some saffron threads, Move it constantly. When rice is almost cooked, all the syrup. Finish with a little bit of butter and a soupspoon of mascarpone cheese, mixing all in a bain marie with cold water. If it is too thick, add some cold water until it becomes creamy. Serve cold.
