Quote from Rara - My mum and i were given some zucchini flowers.
My mum found this recipe (not sure where) yesterday which I made for dinner tonight,
RISOTTO AI FIORI DI ZUCCA
300GR RICE
1 ZUCCHINO
10 FLOWERS
40 GR OIL
1 ONION
½ MC WHITE WINE
660 GR WATER
1 STOCK CUBE
BUTTER AND PARMIGGIANO TO TASTE
WITH THE BLADES MOVING AT SPEED 6 PUT THROUGH THE ONION
ADD THE OIL AND FRY 3 MIN 100* SPEED 1
ADD THE ZUCCHINO AND THE FLOWERS CUT INTO PIECES
COOK 3 MIN 100* SPEED 1
INSERT THE BUTTERFLY ADD THE RICE THE WINE AND TOAST
2 MIN 100* SPEED 1
ADD WATER AND STOCK CUBE AND COOK 16MIN 100* SPEED 1 WITH THE MC ON THE SIDE
THE LAST 2 MIN ADD THE BUTTER AND THE PARMIGGIANO
I COOKED THE RICE AS THE PACKET SAID WHICH WAS 13MIN AND LEFT IT FOR COUPLE OF MINUTES
IN THE BOWL
The only thing I did different was chop the zucchini for 5 sec on speed 5 (kids don't like chunky zucchini) and added about 20 zucchini flowers. Also added salt and pepper and used my own stock. I cooked my rice for 15 min.
Very nice!!
OH and miss 10 HATE risotto but both went back for seconds.....go figure
