STOCK MARKET
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil the kettle. Dilute the stock with 500ml of boiling water. Place the halved onions, cut-side down, on a tinfoil-lined roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Spread out evenly on the tray. Roast in the hot oven for 20-25 minutes until soft and caramelised.
A IS FOR ALMONDS
Place the chopped almonds in a pot, large enough for the risotto, over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
SAGE BUTTER
Return the pot to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and 30g of butter. Once foaming, fry the picked sage leaves until crispy, 1-2 minutes per side. (To make this easier, use tongs if you have them!). Remove the infused butter from the pot, drain the crispy sage leaves on paper towel and set aside for serving.
RISOTTO RAZZLE
Return the pot to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated garlic and the risotto rice until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the wine and simmer until almost evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Add a ladleful of the stock and allow it to be absorbed by gently simmering (stirring often). Only add the next ladle of stock when the previous one has been fully absorbed. Repeat this process until the rice is cooked al dente, 20-25 minutes. When the risotto is done, add a knob of butter. Loosen with a splash of warm water, if necessary. Season.
IT’S TIME TO DINE!
Plate up a generous helping of the creamy risotto and top with dollops of goat’s cheese, the caramelised baby onions, and a drizzle of lemon juice (to taste). Sprinkle over the crispy sage and the toasted nuts. Drizzle over the infused butter and the balsamic reduction. Enjoy, Chef!
