A simplified risotto technique saves much time and effort. Seek out radicchio di Treviso, a slender, elongated variety that is available at some farmers' markets.
Ingredients
6–8 first-course servings
Melt 1 tablespoon butter with olive oil in heavy large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and radicchio; sauté until beginning to brown, about 18 minutes. Add rice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; stir until rice is translucent at edges but still opaque in center, about 3 minutes. Add wine; simmer until wine is absorbed, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Add 5 1/2 cups broth; increase heat and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until rice is tender and risotto is creamy, stirring occasionally and adding more broth as needed, about 18 minutes. Remove risotto from heat; stir in remaining 3 tablespoons butter and Parmesan cheese. Season risotto to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

Back to TopI love bitter - but this was not bitter at all - not sure what the other reviewer did to theirs - but the caramelized onions and radicchio made a sweet and somewhat bland risotto - maybe I cut the radicchio too finely and that made it loose flavor and crunch - so i will try it again. Like the idea - just a bit boring.

Excellent and classic risotto recipe that makes wonderful use of radicchio's bitter flavor that gets more mellow when it caramelizes. Love how the leaves get softened when they cook and mix with the rice, plus the red makes for a gorgeous dish. Will absolutely make it again.

This may taste better if radicchio was replaced with something less bitter. We didn't care for this recipe.
