Ingredients for 4 people
350g Arborio rice
100g mascarpone
100g diced speck
1/2 vegetable cube
1 glass of dry white wine
salt
EVO oil
Preparation
Boil approx. 1l of water and prepare the stock, stir fry the speck in a pan with some EVO oil and let it on on the lowest gas setting.
Drizzle some EVO oil on another pan, turn the heat up and put the rice; keep stirring for a couple of minutes then add the wine. Once the alcohol has evaporated start adding the stock a ladle at the time. Stir frequently and every time you add the stock.
Dilute the mascarpone with a couple of spoonfuls of stock.
Once the rice is ready, pour the mascarpone and let it simmer for a couple of minutes. Switch off the heat, add the speck and give it a good stir. Cover with a lid for 5 minutes to allow the flavours getting together nicely - we say "mantecare".
Serve immediately, I would recommend adding a generous sprinkle of grated parmesan on top.
