Today’s Recipe: Saffron-infused Risotto with Grilled Peaches

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a unique and flavorful recipe that combines the delicate taste of saffron-infused risotto with the sweetness of grilled peaches. This dish is perfect for a cozy autumn evening or a special gathering with friends. Let’s dive into the details!

Ingredients:

• Arborio rice (200g)
• Saffron threads (1/4 tsp)
• Chicken broth (800ml)
• Peaches (2, halved and pitted)
• Parmesan cheese (50g, grated)
• Butter (50g)
• White wine (100ml)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• saucepan
• grill pan
• wooden spoon
• grater

To start, heat the chicken broth in a saucepan until it simmers. Add the saffron threads to infuse the broth with their vibrant color and flavor. In a separate pan, melt the butter and toast the Arborio rice until translucent. Pour in the white wine and cook until absorbed.

Slowly ladle the saffron-infused broth into the rice, stirring constantly until the liquid is absorbed before adding more. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and cooked to al dente. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.

While the risotto is cooking, preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the peach halves until they are caramelized and have beautiful grill marks. Remove from heat and slice them into bite-sized pieces.

To serve, spoon the saffron risotto onto plates and top with the grilled peach slices. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.

This saffron-infused risotto with grilled peaches is a delightful dish with a perfect balance of savory and sweet flavors. The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 800g, with 4 servings. Each serving is about 200g, with an estimated calorie count of 350.

A clever tip for this recipe is to add a pinch of cinnamon to the grilled peaches for an extra depth of flavor. It may sound unusual, but trust me, it’s a game-changer!
