Инструкции
- In a medium saucepan, bring the stock to a boil, reduce heat to low, and keep at a bare simmer. Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a heavy 4-qt saucepan over medium heat, add in leeks, onions, and garlic and saute/fry, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, till soft but not browned, about 6 min. Add in rice and continue stirring till the edges of the rice are translucent/soft, about 3 min. Add in wine and cook, stirring constantly, till nearly all the wine is absorbed, about 30 seconds.
- Raise the heat to medium-high, add in salt and pepper to taste, and about 1/2 c. of the simmering stock; cook, stirring constantly, till nearly all the stock is absorbed. Continue adding stock, about 1/2 c. at a time; adjust seasonings. Cook, stirring constantly, allowing each addition to be nearly absorbed before adding the next, till the rice is creamy but slightly hard in the center, about 25 min.
- Meanwhile, fry the squash blossoms. Heat extra virgin olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat till very warm but, not smoking. Prepare batter by combining egg yolk, lowfat milk, flour, and 2 Tbsp. cool water with a whisk. Dip each blossom in the batter and gently transfer to the warm oil. It will be necessary to do this in small batches. Fry till crispy and light brown, about 1 to 2 min per side.
- Roughly chop 6 of the cooked squash blossoms and gently combine with the cooked rice. Divide the risotto among 4 plates, and garnish with the remaining fried whole squash blossoms. Serve immediately.
- Makes 4 servings.
- Serving Ideas : Squash blossoms can also be served alone as an appetizer - stuff them with fillings like herbed ricotta or possibly goat's cheese before frying.
