Tomato and chilli pepper risotto and quenelle of Nonno Nanni Fresco Spalmabile

Ingredients for 4 persons

250g of wholemeal rice

1/2 bottle of tomato sauce

One fresh chilli pepper

One onion

Olive oil as needed

Salt and pepper

1 Fresco Spalmabile package

Nonno Nanni Fresco Spalmabile is a fresh, soft and spreadable cheese, with a lively but delicate flavour.

Method

Wash the rice under running water. Cook the rice in a pressure cooker with just enough water to cover the rice and a little more. Enough salt without overdoing it. When the pan starts to whistle, allow the rice to cook for another 25 minutes.

 

Prepare the spicy sauce: fry the chopped onion in a pan together with the chilli pepper without seeds in a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Add the tomato sauce.

Season with salt and allow the sauce to reduce.

 

As soon as the rice is ready, add to the spicy sauce and mix well for a few seconds. Take the heart-shaped moulds and spoon the rice into them. Brush the rice with a little oil. After a few minutes, turn them out onto a plate. Decorate with some quenelle of Fresco Spalmabile and serve immediately.
