Categories     Side

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh chervil
1 to 2 Tbs. chopped fresh tarragon
6 Tbs. olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
3 oz. pancetta, diced
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
4 leeks, white and light green portions, rinsed well and thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
6 cups chicken broth, warmed
2 Tbs. unsalted butter, cut into 2 pieces
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Put the parsley, chervil, tarragon, 4 Tbs. of the olive oil, salt and pepper in a bowl. Using an immersion blender, blend until a smooth paste forms. Set the fines herbes puree aside. In a sauté pan or a risotto pan over medium heat, sauté the pancetta until crisp, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a small bowl. Pour off all but 1 Tbs. of the fat from the pan and add the remaining 2 Tbs. oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 7 minutes. Add the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, 15 to 17 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the rice and pancetta and stir well. Cook, stirring, until the rice is translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the wine and stir until it is absorbed, about 1 minute. Add the broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until it is almost completely absorbed before adding more. When the rice is tender but firm to the bite, after 20 to 25 minutes, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the butter, cheese and fines herbes puree, and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6

The leek and pancetta risotto was a disappointment. The rice was overcooked and the flavors were bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

This risotto was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I would recommend using less pancetta next time.

This leek and pancetta risotto was a delight! The flavors of the leek and pancetta complemented each other perfectly, and the arborio rice was cooked to perfection. I added a bit of extra Parmesan cheese, and it was divine. My family and friends love
