Ingredients (Serves 2)

• Arborio Rice: 150g.

• Black Truffle: 10g, thinly shaved (or 1 tablespoon black truffle paste).

• Chicken or Vegetable Stock: 750ml, warmed.

• Dry White Wine: 100ml.

• Shallot: 1, finely chopped.

• Garlic: 1 clove, minced.

• Unsalted Butter: 50g.

• Parmesan Cheese: 50g, freshly grated.

• Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons.

• Salt and Pepper: To taste.

• Fresh Parsley: Finely chopped, for garnish.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Stock: Heat the chicken or vegetable stock in a saucepan and keep it warm over low heat.

2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and minced garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until soft and fragrant, but not browned.

3. Toast the Rice: Add the Arborio rice to the pan, stirring for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted and coated with oil.

4. Deglaze with Wine: Pour in the white wine, stirring until it’s fully absorbed by the rice.

5. Cook the Risotto: Gradually add the warm stock, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously. Allow each ladle of stock to be absorbed before adding the next. This process takes about 18-20 minutes, until the rice is creamy and al dente.

6. Add Truffle and Finish: Stir in the butter, grated Parmesan, and half of the shaved truffle (or truffle paste). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. Serve with Elegance: Spoon the risotto into warmed Joelyns porcelain bowls, creating a smooth, creamy mound. Garnish with the remaining truffle shavings and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a vibrant touch.
