take and I leave a button displays the last sweet and savory dishes. A sweet hug for everyone.
porcini risotto and artichokes.
2-3 artichokes
4 Boletus Edulis
6 cloves garlic
150 gr. Arborio rice
4-5 tablespoons olive oil 30 gr
.
butter 100 ml. of cream
50 gr. grated cheese (Grana Padano or Parmesan)
900 ml. beef broth
300 ml.
water salt.
Scrub the artichokes, discarding the tough outer leaves, stem and tip, so that we stay with the heart and the most tender central leaves, cut into quarters and dip in cold water to which add a splash of oil (the oil film will not allow the artichokes to rust).
In a saucepan heat the oil over very low heat and saute the minced garlic, chopped mushrooms and artichokes in quarters that we will well drained. Sauté over low heat for 5-6 minutes. Up to medium-high heat and add the rice, stirring continuously. With high heat add the very hot liquid (beef broth and water), salt and cook for 20 minutes, stirring regularly. We must never let the liquid is completely consumed, when the rice is cooked but broth, put out the fire without removing the pan. Then added butter, cream cheese and finally, in this case, Grana Padano, which is a little softer than Parmesan. Stir until smooth and creamy rice. Serve fresh.
With few dishes I enjoy so much as rice, whether baked, stews, etc ..., but I have a weakness for these rice cream, I love. They are also very quick to make and depending on the ingredients can be an accompaniment, or work nicely as an entree. The combinations are endless, you can use other wines like chicken or vegetables and cheeses. In this case I chose not too mask the taste of mushrooms and artichokes and joined that one part water to three parts in stock, instead of using only broth. Also substituted for Parmesan cheese Grana Padano is softer, so trying all the ingredients have their role.
Sides: None better than a loaf of fresh baked bread and a glass of good red wine ...... Hope you like it.
Spring is coming .... strawberry pastry.
1 puff pastry base
fresh strawberries or strawberry
For the pastry cream: 250
ml.
cream 500 ml .
milk 3 egg yolks 3 rounded tablespoons
cornstarch 75 gr .
sugar 1 cinnamon stick , peel of 1 lemon, vanilla (to taste).
Preheat oven to 180 º C. Unroll the puff pastry and prick with a fork so they do not grow in baking. By clicking, leave a margin of 1-1.5 cm. on the edge so that the baking on baking sheet, that edge will grow slightly. Brush with beaten egg and bake until it is golden. Remove from oven and set aside.
pastry cream always do it in the microwave, as in this recipe is the protagonist, I like it a bit more "rich" by combining cream and milk. Put the milk, cream, cinnamon, vanilla and lemon in the microwave, boil until . In another bowl beat the egg yolks, sugar and cornstarch , if necessary, add a dash milk. Withdraw the cinnamon, lemon and vanilla liquid. Mix the liquid that we boiled together with the yolk mixture and stir. Is introduced again in the microwave and heat for short periods of 30 seconds, stirring the mixture every time you stop, until it thickens. Quantities are for a consistent cream, which to reheat will thicken quickly. Cool putting cream transparent film contact over the cream so that no air is dry.
Syndicate, helping of the pastry, the pastry cream. Then place the strawberries that we will wash and cut. You can bathe with syrup and garnish with mint or mint.
advantage that we have the first strawberries and strawberries, I made this very simple recetita. It is a cake that is very fast and is very well resultón rich. For if I am going to ask, and I tell you, the dish is decorated with balsamic vinegar reduction, fits particularly well with ice cream and strawberries. Hope you like it and I feel encouraged to do it.
