Chestnut risotto with leek and fried sage is a perfect recipe for a cozy night in. This hearty and comforting dish is surprisingly easy to make, and is sure to impress your friends and family.

To start, gather all the ingredients you will need. You will need 2 cups of chopped chestnuts, 1 large leek (white and light green parts only), 2 cups of arborio rice, 6 cups of chicken or vegetable broth, 1/2 cup dry white wine, 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

Begin by frying the sage leaves. In a small pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sage leaves, and fry them until they are crispy and fragrant. Once they are done, remove them from the pan, and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Next, prepare the leek by thoroughly washing it, and slicing it thinly. Then, melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sliced leek, and cook it until it has softened and turned translucent.

Add the arborio rice to the pot and stir it together with the leek until the rice has become slightly toasted. Then, pour in the white wine, and stir until the liquid has been fully absorbed.

Now, it’s time to start adding the chicken or vegetable broth. Pour in the broth, one cup at a time, and stir constantly until the liquid has been fully absorbed before adding more. Repeat this process until you have used all six cups of broth. The rice should be tender but still slightly firm in the center after this step.

Add the chopped chestnuts to the pot, and stir them in with the rice. Finally, add the grated parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper, and continue stirring until everything is fully combined. At this point, your chestnut risotto is ready to serve.

Spoon the risotto into bowls, and top each serving with a few fried sage leaves. The sage adds a deliciously savory and fragrant touch to the dish, while the chestnuts lend a subtle sweetness and nutty flavor. The leeks provide a delicate flavor that balances the dish out nicely.

In conclusion, chestnut risotto with leek and fried sage is a wholesome and satisfying meal that is perfect for fall and winter. The combination of the earthy chestnuts and herbs, along with the creamy and rich risotto, make this dish truly irresistible. It’s easy to make, yet it looks and tastes like something you would order at a fancy restaurant. Try this recipe out at your next dinner party, and watch your guests delight in the complex flavors and textures. Bon appétit!
