50 g onion

1 garlic clove

2 tbsps oil

100 ml red wine (Lagrein or St. Magdalener)

1 l beef soup or water

salt

ground pepper

2 tbsps butter

30 g Parmesan cheese, grated

Preparation

Time to prepare: 50 min.

Wash, rinse and slice the radicchio into strips. Peel and chop the onion and garlic. Sauté in oil. Add the radicchio strips and sauté them. Deglaze with the red wine and stew until the wine has reduced nearly entirely. Add the rice, gradually pour in the beef broth and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add the cold butter and Parmesan cheese and serve immediately. Cooking time: approx. 20 minutes

You can use chicken broth instead of beef broth. If you prefer your risotto smooth, add a little liquid or whipped cream to the finished dish. Our wine recommendation: Terlaner Chardonnay
