Risotto al Radicchio e Gorgonzola

🌍 Italian, Veneto/Lombardy Difficulty: ●●●○○

Bitter radicchio and sharp Gorgonzola from the Veneto-Lombardy border. Wilt the radicchio in butter before it joins the rice — raw radicchio turns unpleasantly astringent during cooking. The Gorgonzola melts in at the very end, off the heat.

• 1 head Treviso radicchio, shredded
• 150g Gorgonzola
• 1 onion
• 100g butter
• 100ml red wine
• 1L chicken stock

Method

1. Sautéing — Sauté onion; add radicchio until wilted.
2. Toasting — Toast rice; add red wine.
3. Step 3 — Build risotto with stock.
4. Step 4 — Finish with butter and Gorgonzola.
