Ingredients

For the risotto :

  • 300 g Carnaroli rice
  • 200 g Ripe Kaiser variety pears
  • Red Wine to taste
  • About 1 l. Vegetable Broth
  • 200 g Provolone Auricchio
  • E.V.O. Oil
  • 1/4 White Onion
  • Salt to taste and if necessary

Instructions

In a saucepan fry the onion in oil. When the onion is golden, pour the rice and toast it. When the rice is toasted, pour the wine and let it evaporate. When the wine has faded, start pouring the broth, little by little and if necessary so that you can control the cooking point. About halfway through cooking, pour the pears cut into cubes into the pot. While you finish cooking, start cut into cubes the sweet provolone. When the rice has cooked, season with salt if necessary and stir.
