Preparation

How to prepare Risotto pannerone e pere

To prepare pannerone and pear risotto, start by preparing the Vegetable broth. Once ready, finely chop the onion 1, add both the butter and the oil to a pan 2, heat it up, and add the onion 3.

Add a ladle of hot broth 4 and let the sauté soften; then add the rice 5 and toast it, stirring often. Only when it has changed color, you can deglaze with the white wine 6.

Continue cooking the rice by adding a ladle of broth from time to time 7 and stirring it frequently. In the meantime, cut the pannerone: first into strips 8 and then into cubes 9.

Wash the pears, divide them into 4, and remove the central core with a small knife without removing the skin 10, then cut each slice into cubes 11. When the rice is almost cooked, add the diced pears 12

and the pannerone cubes 13. Mix everything well 14 and serve your pannerone and pear risotto 15.

Storage

Store the pannerone and pear risotto for up to one day in the refrigerator, closed in an airtight container. Freezing is not recommended.

Advice

To achieve a creamier risotto, you can add 3-4 tablespoons of fresh cream at the end of cooking! If you wish, you can replace the pannerone with taleggio or gorgonzola, not because they resemble it in taste, but because they go well with rice and pears.
