Rice with shrimp,
green peppers & amarena cherries

by Enrico Bartolini

In my original region, Tuscany, rice is often served boiled on detox days or in salads in the summer. With my work between Veneto and Lombardy I discovered the elegance, technique, and pleasantness not only of Risotto but of the preparations that accompany rice. Today, in Milan, I have been cooking it with love for about 20 years.

RECIPE DEVELOPMENT

— SOUR CHERRY SAUCE

Cut the shallot into julienne strips and sweat it in a pana with a knob of butter. Add the sour cherry puree and reduce to a creamy consistency. Season with salt and red wine vinegar.

 

2 — SAGE CREAM

Put the cream, milk and sage in a saucepan and reduce to a creamy consistency.

 

3 — GREEN PEPPER SAUCE

Remove the seeds from the green peppers. Put them through the extractor and recover the juice. Once the juice has been put into the saucepan, reduce it with the glucose to a honey-like consistency. Bind with a little xanthan gum.

 

4 — LAPSANG AND JUNIPER BUTTER

Toast the pepper, juniper and lapsang in a frying pan to release the aromas and essential oils. Then put everything into a Pacojet with the softened butter, mix and blast chill. Pulse 5 times until the butter is smooth and fragrant.

 

5 — BARBECUE SAUCE

Roast the ribs first on the grill and then in the oven. Brown the onions in a saucepan and add the sugar. Add the ribs and bacon, then the peeled tomatoes and dates and finish cooking. Strain, add Worcestershire and salt. Finally add the caramel and bring to the desired consistency.

 

6 — RISOTTO

Cook the rice for about 12 minutes in boiling water. When cooked, stir in butter, parmesan cheese and lemon.
