Risotto With Ba Ba Blue Cheese and Caramelized Pears
Ingredients
1 large shallot
2 cup risotto
2 Tbsp. butter
Directions
Place chicken broth in a stock pot and heat to a gently simmer. Keep warm throughout cooking
process.
Heat olive oil in a pan. Add shallots and cook until translucent, but do not brown. Add rice and
cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add white wine and stir until absorbed. Add warm chicken
broth ¼ cup at a time to the risotto. Stir frequently. When broth is absorbed, add additional stock.
The risotto will continue to absorb stock and cook over a period of 15-20 minutes. When the
risotto is al dente, add crumbled blue cheese and stir to incorporate. Add salt and pepper to taste.
About half way through the risotto cooking process, heat 2 tbsp. of butter in a heavy bottom pan.
Add pears and cook on each side until caramelized, about 3 minutes on each side.
To serve, plate risotto and top with 2-3 slices of caramelized pear.
