Cooking Steps

Prepare
1
  • Crush or mince the garlic and prepare the stock.
  • Melt a generous knob of butter in a large deep frying pan over medium-high heat. 
  • Fry the sage leaves for 4 - 5 minutes, or until crispy, then transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper.
  • Fry the garlic, the mushrooms, the risotto rice and the Italian seasoning in the butter for 2 minutes.
Make the risotto
2
  • Deglaze with half of the white balsamic vinegar, then gradually add the stock one ladle at a time.
  • Allow the stock to slowly incorporate, stirring regularly.
  • The risotto is done when the rice is soft but still al dente, which should take around 18 - 20 minutes.
  • Add extra water and cook longer if you’d prefer the risotto to be less al dente.
Fry the meatballs
3
  • Meanwhile, slice the shallot into half-rings.
  • Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the meatballs with the shallot for 8 - 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, roughly chop the sage.
  • Grate the Parmigiano Reggiano.
Make the dressing
4
  • Zest and quarter the lemon.
  • In a salad bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil with the rest of the white balsamic vinegar and some lemon zest as preferred. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Roughly chop the hazelnuts.
Finish
5
  • Remove the meatballs from the pan and set aside.
  • Transfer the shallot to the risotto, along with the demi-glace, the sage and half of the Parmigiano Reggiano.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper, then mix well to combine.
  • Shortly before serving, transfer the arugula to the salad bowl and toss well to combine with the dressing.
Serve
6
  • Serve the risotto on deep plates, topped with the meatballs, the arugula and the hazelnuts.
  • Garnish with the rest of the Parmigiano Reggiano.
  • Serve the lemon wedges alongside.
