Creamy Spelt Risotto with Truffles Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup spelt grains
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 oz truffles, sliced

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, heat the chicken or vegetable stock over low heat until warm.
2. In a separate large saucepan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until soft and translucent.
3. Add the spelt grains and stir to coat with the oil mixture. Add the white wine and stir until it has been absorbed by the grains.
4. Add a ladleful of warm stock to the spelt grain mixture and stir continuously until the stock has been absorbed. Repeat this process, stirring constantly and adding stock one ladleful at a time until the spelt is cooked through, but still slightly al dente, about 20-30 minutes.
5. Turn off the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Transfer the risotto to individual serving dishes and top with the sliced truffles. Serve immediately.
