Trying Out New Tastes: Ruby Red Grapefruit Risotto Recipe

Today, I’m excited to share a unique and refreshing dish that combines the creaminess of risotto with the tangy sweetness of ruby red grapefruit. This unconventional recipe is perfect for a sunny summer day when you’re craving something light yet satisfying. Let’s dive into the delicious world of my Ruby Red Grapefruit Risotto!

Ingredients:

• Arborio rice (300g)
• Chicken or vegetable broth (1 liter)
• Butter (50g)
• Onion (1, finely chopped)
• Ruby red grapefruit (2, juiced and zested)
• Parmesan cheese (100g, grated)
• Salt (to taste)
• Black pepper (to taste)

Kitchen Tools:

• Pot
• Wooden spoon
• Grater
• Juicer

To begin, heat the chicken or vegetable broth in a pot over medium heat until simmering. In another pot, melt the butter and sauté the finely chopped onion until translucent. Add the Arborio rice to the pot and toast it for a minute until slightly translucent.

Next, start adding the simmering broth, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously until each ladleful is absorbed. This process will take approximately 18-20 minutes until the rice is creamy and cooked to al dente.

Once the risotto reaches the desired consistency, stir in the grapefruit juice and zest, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is incorporated, and the flavors are perfectly blended.

Remove the pot from the heat and let the risotto rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve the Ruby Red Grapefruit Risotto hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1200g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 300g, and it carries an estimated calorie count of 350 per serving.

Clever Tip:

To enhance the citrusy flavor of the grapefruit, you can add a splash of grapefruit liqueur or a squeeze of fresh grapefruit juice right before serving.
