Instructions
  1. 1

    To prepare the apple and gorgonzola risotto, first of all, dedicate yourself to the sour butter. Finely chop the shallot 1. In a saucepan, melt the butter 2 and add the shallot 3.

  2. 2

    As soon as the shallot begins to fry, wet with white wine 4 and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat. Once ready, transfer it to a bowl 5 and let it set in the refrigerator while you continue with the recipe. Meanwhile, take care of the puree: cut 2 apples into wedges 6, remove the seeds and the central part.

  3. 3

    Transfer them to a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and season with oil 7, salt and pepper 8. Cook in a preheated fan oven at 200°C for 15 minutes. Separately, cut an apple into 2 mm thick slices 9.

    Flavour with red wine vinegar 13. Add the thyme 14 and turn off the heat. Set aside, they will be needed for plating 15.

  6. 6

    Take the baked apples and transfer them to a jug 16. Blend with the immersion blender, if necessary add a little water 17, about 20 g, until you get a homogeneous puree 18.

  7. 7

    Pour the rice into a pot 19, add the oil 20 and toast for a few minutes. Wet with vegetable broth 21 and cook, adding a ladle of broth each time the previous one is absorbed by the rice.

  8. 8

    A minute before the end of the cooking time, add the apple puree 22, the sour butter 23 and the parmesan 24. Turn off the heat and stir.
