Nonno Nanni Squaquerello is a fresh, distinctly flavoured soft cheese.
Method
Boil soup. Toast rice with a spoon of oil in a pressure cooker. After a few minutes turn off the flame and put the rice aside. Chop onion and brown in a pot with two tablespoons of oil on a low flame. Add rice and stir. Wet with some white wine and let it evaporate. Combine fig peels but keep a few to be used as a decoration. Pour soup and close the pressure cooker. When it reaches the whistle count half the time indicated on the rice package (in my case they were about 12 or 25 minutes in a pressure cooker). After this time has gone by, open the pot, check the cooking (cook a few more minutes if necessary). Then add squacquerone and stir. Season with salt and pepper and divide it on dishes. Complete with some peels as a decoration and, if you wish, use some fig slices. Serve immediately and enjoy.
