Risotto al Balsamico
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1-quart vegetable stock or low-sodium broth
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large shallot, thinly sliced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons arborio rice (about 10 ounces)
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for serving
- Salt
- Freshly ground pepper
METHOD:
In a small saucepan, boil the balsamic vinegar over moderately high heat until reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 10 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable stock to a boil. Cover and keep hot.
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil. Add the shallot and bay leaf and cook over moderate heat until the shallot is softened about 3 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until the grains are evenly coated with oil, about 1 minute. Add the wine and simmer over moderate heat until it is almost evaporated about 4 minutes. Add enough of the hot stock to just cover the rice and cook, stirring, until the stock has been absorbed. Continue adding the stock 1/2 cup at a time, and stirring constantly, until it is nearly absorbed between additions. The risotto is done when the rice is al dente and suspended in a thick, creamy sauce, for about 25 minutes.

Ortalli is tradition and Italian know-how since 1899
Stories that we tell are the ones that stand the test of time, like traditions passed from generation to generation. Ours started in Italy in 1899 with Vittorio Ortalli, who set out to make the best Aceto Balsamico di Modena for his family.
His passion nourished a dream to take the family firm to new heights and beyond distant horizons by creating new dressings to share Italian gastronomy with the rest of the world. This tradition lives on in us today. Ortalli oils and vinegars are the living embodiment of that spirit.
Ortalli enhances your dishes with Italian know-how. With the best ingredients and painstaking attention to detail from field to table, these are authentic products with exceptional flavour.
Because being true to our origins is the only way we can be true to ourselves.
