Risotto Al Ragu Risotto With Meat Sauce Recipe

Risotto al Ragu risotto with meat sauce

From s_kat 18 years ago

Filled with pure meat-soaked, liver-chopped fun, there was no mistaking this for a demure little side: risotto al ragu is unabashed main dish fare.

In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a simmer over medium-high heat; reduce heat, but keep the stock hot.
In a large saucepan, melt half the butter in the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, celery and carrot and cook until the onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes.
Add the ground beef and cook about 3 minutes longer, until the meat begins to brown.
Add 1 cup chicken broth, the chicken livers, tomato paste, wine, pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the rice and return to a simmer. Cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid has been absorbed.
Stir the remaining hot broth into the risotto 1/2 cup at a time, making sure the previous addition has been absorbed before adding more.
Cook until the rice is al dente, about 25-30 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in remaining butter; cover and let sit for a few minutes.
Serve warm with grated Parmesan sprinkled on top of each serving.

That looks great, can't beat a good risotto. Unfortunately I live at high elevation so risotto doesn't always turn out well, takes the rice too long to cook, but I may have to give this one a try!
