Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 5 min.

Prepare and finely chop 1 onion.

Peel and grate 1 garlic clove, or chop very finely, and place on top of chopped onion.

Set aside.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 20 min.

Diced celeriac

Prepare 1 celeriac, then cut into very small pieces.

Stage 3

The best way to do this is to peel, wash and dry the celery.

Stage 4

Then cut into fairly thin slices.

Stage 5

Cut the slices into sticks.

Stage 6

Finally, cut the sticks into small pieces.

Stage 7

No secrets, it's quite time-consuming.

Note: You can also use a mandolin to make the sticks more quickly.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 1 min.

Cooking the risotto

Heat 5 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over high heat, then add the onion and chopped garlic.

Season with salt and pepper and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 3 min.

Add the diced celery, season with salt and pepper and stir well for 2 or 3 minutes.

Stage 10 - ⌛ 7 min.

Pour in 2 glasses dry white wine, and stir again, lower the heat a little, and let the wine evaporate almost completely, stirring occasionally.

Stage 11 - ⌛ 20 min.

Then gradually add 750 ml chicken stock, stirring regularly, until the celery is tender.

Stage 12 - ⌛ 2 min.

Add 250 g Mascarpone, stir to obtain a creamy texture (if necessary, add a little broth), and check the seasoning.

Stage 13 - ⌛ 2 min.

Finish by adding the grated Parmesan and mixing one last time.

Stage 14

Serve piping hot, perhaps with a drizzle of olive oil added at the last minute.

Remarks

You can replace the chicken stock with vegetable stock to suit your taste.

If you don't have mascarpone, use cream instead, or a mixture of half cream and half cheese.

Keeping: Enjoy immediately, but can be reheated.
