Ingredients

Risotto

·      250G risotto rice (Carnaroli)

·      100ml Urknall Grüner Veltliner wine

·      450Ml fish stock or vegetable stock

·      3 tbsp olive oil

·      1 garlic clove, finely chopped

·      1 shallot, finely chopped

·      20 g grated Parmesan

·      50g Butter

·      2Tbsp. Parsley pesto

Porcini mushrooms

·      100G porcini mushrooms

·      Olive oil and apple balsamic vinegar

Alpine char

·      1 alpine car, filleted and with the side bones pulled out using tweezers

·      200G nut butter (clarified brown butter)

Preparation

Risotto

Fry the garlic and shallots in hot olive oil. Add the rice, salt and douse with white wine.

Allow to reduce, until the white wine has evaporated. Pour in the hot fish stock. Simmer while stirring constantly.

When the rice has soaked up the liquid, pour in some hot fish stock several times and let the rice absorb.

After around 20 minutes the rice will be cooked, but still a little firm, stir in the Parmesan, butter and parsley pesto. Season with salt and pepper.

Char

Cut the fish fillets into 4 portions. Put 200g of nut butter into a baking dish and heat in the oven, at 80°C for approx. 20 minutes.

Put the portioned fish into the now hot butter and let it marinade for 10-12 minutes. Remove the fish from the nut butter and let it drain, season with sea salt and pepper, then it can be served on the risotto.

Porcini mushrooms

Preferably small and fine porcini mushrooms from the forest - if you find them yourself, even better!

Clean and wash the mushrooms, then dry them and lay them on paper. Finely chop the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper, and give them a spritz with apple balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

Place the raw mushrooms on top of the fish, ideally with some herbs from the garden.

Serving tip from me

Deep plate, risotto in the middle and the char carefully place on top.

Shortly before serving, spritz a small amount of apple balsamic vinegar in the risotto, which goes perfectly with the fish.
