Ingredients
- 45 grams butter
- 50 grams onion minced
- 170 grams boneless pancetta cut into ½ cm pieces
- 100 grams mushrooms chopped
- 250 grams long grain rice
- 100 ml mavrodafni wine or other sweet red wine
- 1 dried bay leaf
- 55 grams sun-dried prunes chopped
- 3 teaspoons pine nuts
Optional:
- 50 ml heavy cream
Instructions
- Heat butter in a medium-sized saucepan over high heat.
- Caramelize the onion. Add the pancetta and cook for 2-3 minutes untill it gets a nice golden color.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add the mushrooms and rice. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the wine and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
- Pour 1 liter of warm water. Season with salt and pepper. Add the bay leaf.
- Cover with the lid and simmer for about 20 minutes.
- Add the prunes and pine nuts. Bring heat to high and stir constantly untill rice absorbs all of the remaing water.
- Once the rice starts to stick at the bottom of the pan remove from heat and set aside.
- Optional Step: At this point, you may add the cream.
- Let rice stand for about 10 minutes to release its steam.
- Transfer rice to your preferred mold, and push gently with a big spoon. Let rice stand in the mold for 2-3 minutes. Unmold on a large plate.
