If you’re looking to add some healthy and unique flavors to your risotto recipe collection, look no further than nettle risotto with smoked buffalo ricotta. This dish is not only delicious but is also packed with nutrients and is gluten-free.

Nettles are an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron, calcium, and other minerals. The plant has a slightly bitter taste similar to spinach or kale. If you’re lucky enough to have access to fresh nettles, be sure to wear gloves when handling them as they can cause a stinging sensation on the skin. Alternatively, you can use dried nettles which are available in most health food stores.

Ingredients:
– 1 cup Arborio rice
– 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
– 1 cup fresh or dried nettle leaves
– 1 shallot, finely chopped
– 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
– 1/2 cup white wine
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 oz smoked buffalo ricotta
– 2 tbsp butter
– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. In a large pan, heat the broth over medium-low heat until simmering.

2. In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the chopped shallot until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

3. Add the Arborio rice to the pan with the shallot and garlic and stir to coat the rice in butter. Toast the rice for 1-2 minutes without allowing it to brown.

4. Pour in the white wine and stir constantly until it has been absorbed by the rice.

5. Add the nettle leaves to the pan and stir. Gradually add the hot broth to the rice, stirring constantly and allowing each addition of broth to be absorbed before adding the next.

6. Continue to stir the rice until it is cooked to al dente, which should take about 20-25 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.

7. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it has melted and evenly distributed throughout the rice.

8. Serve the nettle risotto hot, topped with crumbled smoked buffalo ricotta cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.

This recipe is perfect for a dinner party or a cozy night in. The nettle adds a unique depth of flavor to the risotto, while the smoked buffalo ricotta provides a creamy and salty contrast. If you’re feeling adventurous, try experimenting with different types of ricotta cheese or even different types of herbs to create your own twist on this recipe.

With a bit of patience and a few simple ingredients, you’ll have a flavorful and nutrient-packed dish that will satisfy your taste buds and keep you feeling healthy and energized.
