Il radicchio risotto it's a first course traditional that was born many years ago in the Treviso area. From the simple preparation and the very particular flavor, this recipe is often enriched in its variations by the addition of cheeses, meats or dried fruit. What we propose is the vegetarian version risotto with radicchio that will amaze you with its delicate and creamy flavor.
Based on vegetable broth, early red radicchio di Treviso PGI and rice, this recipe involves creaming with a little clarified butter that will sweeten the slightly bitter aftertaste typical of this vegetable. If you follow a vegan diet you can replace it with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
