Truffle Risotto
This is a simple, but elegant white truffle risotto. I use Oregon white truffles, but obviously European truffles are great, too.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups risotto rice Arborio, Carnaroli, Vialone Nano
- 2 shallots, minced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- salt
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, grated
- White truffle oil, at least 2 tablespoons
- 1 white truffle
Instructions
- Pour 6 cups of water into a pot and bring to a simmer.
- Heat the butter in another pot over medium-high heat and saute the shallots for 2 minutes. Do not let them brown. Add the rice and stir well, then cook for 2 minutes, stirring often, until the rice is well coated and hot.
- Pour in the white wine and bring to a strong boil. Stir often and let this cook down. When it is almost dry, pour in 2 ladles' worth of the simmering water and sprinkle about a teaspoon of salt over the rice. Stir constantly until this has almost boiled away.
- Add 2 more ladles' worth of the water and continue. Repeat until the rice is al dente. Taste for salt and add some if needed. Pour in a little more water and stir in the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. Let this cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring often.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the truffle oil. Use as much as you want, but at least a couple tablespoons. I would not use more than 3 tablespoons, though.
- Serve in shallow bowls and shave the truffle over the top at the last moment.

Notes
- An excellent main course to go with this would be venison Steak Diane or duck with turnips.
