    List of Ingredients




    Risotto with Zucchini Blossoms


    1/2 white onion, thinly sliced
    1 celery stalk, diced
    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    1 ½ cups Carnaroli rice (or other short-grained Italian rice)
    1 cup dry white wine
    3 small or 1 large zucchini, thinly sliced
    4 cups vegetable broth
    14 zucchini blossoms
    1/2 cup freshly grated grana padano (cheese)
    salt and freshly ground black pepper

    Recipe




    In a deep pot, sauté the onion and the celery in the olive oil until translucent, about 5 minutes over medium heat.

    Add the rice and cook 5 minutes, or until golden, stirring constantly.

    Add the wine and cook until it evaporates, about 2 minutes, still stirring.

    Add the zucchini and 1 cup of the broth.

    Stir until the broth is absorbed; cook in this manner, adding broth and stirring, until the broth is gone.

    Add the zucchini blossoms, grana, salt, and pepper.

    Stir and cook for 5 more minutes, or until the rice is done.

    Serve hot.

    Serves 4
