Equipment

  • Sous Vide

Ingredients

Risotto sous vide

  • 200 gram Risotto Rice
  • 100 gram Shallots can be replaced with regular onions
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 40 gram Butter
  • 4 gram Salt
  • 600 gram Chicken Stock can be replaced with vegetable stock or broth
  • 100 gram Parmesan freshly grated
  • 20 gram Butter

Instructions

  • Finely chop the onion and garlic.
  • Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed pan/pot over medium-high heat (8 out of 14 on my stove).
  • Add the onion, garlic, and rice and sauté it for about 10 minutes. Stir well while the onions soften and the rice absorbs the fat.
  • Put it directly into a vacuum bag and add the stock and salt.
  • The bag should not be vacuumed, but you should simply press out as much air as you can yourself and then seal/weld the bag. If you have a chamber vacuum sealer, you can of course vacuum seal it directly.
  • Put it in your sous vide water bath and cook it for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Feel free to take the bag out of the water bath twice to massage the liquid a bit.
  • Take the bag out of the water bath and directly into a bowl.
  • Add the freshly grated parmesan and butter.
  • Stir and season with salt, pepper, and possibly lemon juice/zest.
  • Serve immediately.
