Scale
Vegetable Risotto
- 100 gram Spring Onion
- 200 gram Shiitake Mushrooms
- 250 gram Soybean Sprouts
- 10 gram Potato Starch
- 150 milliliter Chicken Stock
- 100 milliliter White Wine
- 1 pinch Chili Powder
- 2 pinch Ground Black Pepper
- 2 pinch Sea Salt
- 80 gram Butter (for greasing)
- 20 gram Almond Meal
- 40 gram Grated Parmesan Cheese
Omelet Mixture
- 10 Eggs
- 100 gram Cream
- 1 pinch Sea Salt
- 1 pinch Ground Black Pepper
- Olive Oil (as needed for cooking)
Garnish
- 1 bunch Fresh Chives
- 5 pieces Arugula
- Olive Oil (for drizzling)
- Optional: Chili Powder for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 160 degrees Celsius (325 degrees Fahrenheit) using True Fan Cooking mode for even heat distribution.
- Prepare Vegetables: Slice 100 grams of spring onions, discarding the stems, and place them in a large bowl. Remove stems from 200 grams of shiitake mushrooms and slice thinly, adding to the same bowl. Cut 250 grams of soybean sprouts into small rounds and add to the bowl.
- Season Vegetable Mix: Add 1 pinch chili powder, 2 pinches ground black pepper, 2 pinches sea salt, and 10 grams of potato starch to the vegetables. Pour in 100 milliliters of white wine and 150 milliliters of chicken stock, then mix everything thoroughly to combine flavors.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Using a brush, grease the bottom of an oven-proof dish with 80 grams of butter. Pour the vegetable mixture evenly into the dish.
- Bake Vegetable Risotto: Place the dish into the oven and bake at 160 degrees Celsius (325 degrees Fahrenheit) with fan cooking for 30 minutes until the mixture is cooked and slightly set.
- Chop Chives: While the risotto bakes, finely chop one bunch of fresh chives, discarding the very tops.
- Finish Risotto: Remove the baked vegetable mixture from the oven, sprinkle the chopped chives and 20 grams of almond meal over the top, and mix gently. Then sprinkle 40 grams of grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top.
- Prepare Omelet Mix: Crack 10 eggs into a mixing bowl, add 100 grams of cream, and season with 1 pinch of sea salt and 1 pinch of ground black pepper. Whisk well until combined, then sieve the mixture into another bowl to ensure smoothness.
- Cook Omelet: Heat a non-stick pan over high heat and add enough olive oil to coat the surface. Pour in the egg mixture and gently jiggle the pan while smoothing the surface with a spatula. When the eggs have curdled but still remain slightly runny on top, remove the pan from heat.
- Assemble Omelet with Risotto: Spoon the baked vegetable risotto mixture evenly over one half of the omelet in the pan.
- Fold and Serve: Carefully fold the omelet over the risotto, tap the pan to loosen the omelet, and slide it onto a serving plate.
- Garnish: Garnish with 5 pieces of fresh arugula and lightly drizzle with olive oil. For an optional spicy touch, sprinkle chili powder over the top.
Notes
- This dish combines oven baking and stovetop cooking for optimal texture in both the risotto and the omelet.
- Ensure the omelet remains slightly runny on top before folding to keep it tender and creamy.
- Using fresh chives and arugula adds a bright, fresh flavor that complements the rich ingredients.
- Chicken stock can be substituted with vegetable stock for a vegetarian version, and omit Parmesan and cream for a dairy-free adaptation.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially with chili powder, if you prefer less heat.
