Ingredients

Main Ingredients (3-4 servings)

  • Rice 200g
  • Green Peas (fresh) 50g
  • Broad Beans (boiled) 50g
  • Green Asparagus 2 stalks
  • Broccoli 4 florets
  • Green Beans 10 pods
  • Arugula 50g
  • Bacon 100g
  • Sea Bass 70g
  • Sea Bream 70g
  • Broccoli Sprouts 1 pack
  • Onion, minced
  • Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) (to taste)

Seasonings

  • Butter 50g
  • Parmesan Cheese 70g
  • Broth 1500cc-2000cc
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil (to taste)
  • Salt (to taste)

Steps

  1. Trim the ends of 10 green beans and chop them roughly.
  2. Slice 2 green asparagus stalks diagonally, reserving the tips for garnish.
  3. Cut the 4 broccoli florets into smaller pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
  4. Trim the base of 50g arugula.
  5. Cut a portion of 1 pack broccoli sprouts for garnish.
  6. In a pot, heat a small amount of extra virgin olive oil and a little butter over medium heat. Lightly sauté the minced onion.
  7. Add the 200g uncooked rice to the sautéed onions and stir to coat the grains.
  8. Deglaze with a splash of cooking sake and cook until the alcohol evaporates.
  9. In a separate pot, boil water with a pinch of salt. Blanch the arugula for the puree until tender.
  10. Add the fresh green beans, 50g green peas, and green asparagus to the pot where the rice is cooking and begin to cook.
  11. Gradually add 1500cc-2000cc of broth, simmering the rice and vegetables. (Key Tip: Using water boiled with pea pods and asparagus stems for the broth will enhance the vegetable flavor.)
  12. Combine the tender arugula and its cooking liquid in a blender and process until smooth to make arugula puree.
  13. Bake 100g bacon in an oven at 180℃ (350°F) for 10-15 minutes until crispy. Chop finely.
  14. Season 70g sea bream and 70g sea bass with salt and pan-sear until cooked through.
  15. Add the cooked broccoli and 50g broad beans to the risotto pot. Mash them slightly as you continue to cook.
  16. Season with salt to taste.
  17. Once the rice is cooked and vegetables are tender, stir in the prepared arugula puree and a little cooking liquid to achieve a vibrant green color.
  18. Just before turning off the heat, stir in 50g butter and a small amount of extra virgin olive oil.
  19. Turn off the heat and stir in 70g Parmesan cheese.
  20. Serve the risotto. Garnish one portion with the chopped crispy bacon and broccoli sprouts, and the other portion with the pan-seared sea bream and sea bass to complete the dish.
