Carbonara Risotto!

By



Ingredients

½ lb guanciale, diced
1 small shallot, finely diced
1 ½ arborio rice
¾ white wine
6 cups good vegetable stock
4 egg yolks
2 cups grated pecorino romano (plus more for garnish)
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
Salt & pepper

Add the vegetable stock to a pot over low heat until needed.

Add the diced guanciale to a cold medium pot, set over medium-low and cook, stirring often for 8-10 minutes until fully rendered and crispy.

Remove the guanciale to a paper towel lined plate and set aside.

Next remove and reserve all but 2 Tbsp of the guanciale fat from the pan.

Return the pan to medium-low, add the shallots, season with salt and cook, stirring often for 1-2 minutes until softened and translucent.

Add the arborio rice and toast, stirring often for 2 minutes until fragrant then add the white wine, turn the heat to medium and cook until the rice has absorbed the wine.

Add a ladle or two of hot stock and cook stirring very often until the rice absorbs the stock.

Repeat the previous step until the rice is fully cooked but still al dente. You may not use all of the stock.

In a small bowl mix together, egg yolks, grated pecorino romano, 2 Tbsp guanciale fat and fresh cracked black pepper.

Turn the heat on the risotto to very low, add the egg mixture with a small ladle of stock and stir constantly until it slightly thickens. Don’t cook the eggs fully. Lastly add the butter along with half of the guanciale. Mix until the butter is melted. Season to taste with salt & pepper

To plate, add some risotto to a plate and hit the bottom of the plate to spread it out. Garnish with more guanciale and pecorino.

    Kian! I love your videos. I commented on your French Dip video not too long ago. I have another Chef tip for you on this one. Once you finish the risotto, let it sit in the pan. Then simply add a generous amount of thin knobs of butter and a good pinch of the cheese of your liking. Just let the butter and cheese sit on top and slowly melt into the risotto. Marco Pierre White has a great demonstration on this and I promise you it makes a huge difference. It will create a layer of fat and add richness and a velvety texture ( I put the link below).

    That being said… this will also make your risotto a bit more wet. And that's a texture that some like and others don't.

    For plating more elevated: You could simply take a couple of slices of your guanciale/pancetta, and lay them on top (crossing eachother). And shave some thin slices of your cheese and have them on top as well.

    Great work again, keep it up!

    Hi 🙂 Everyone, thank you Kian. Let me share with you two of my favorite Bible verses: Lord, I have given up my pride and turned away from my arrogance. I am not concerned with great matters or with subjects too difficult for me. Instead, I am content and at peace. As a child lies quietly in its mother's arms, so my heart is quiet within me, Psalms 131:1,2.

    My parents were both born in China, their fathers were good friends, and they decided that if their wives would give birth to a boy and a girl, the two would be married.

    Here is a photo taken at Paris Studio, of my family, beside my father is his little sister. I am between my father and my mother, with my 4 brothers and 4 sisters. Jesus said, "No one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again, John 3:3. You must be born again" John 3:7.

    I was the first one to be born again into God's family, John 1:12, when I started to follow Jesus, John 21:22, to heaven, John 14:6, on the 17th November 1979. I love my family a lot and I don't want anyone to go to hell but to heaven. So I started praying, sharing and writing letters to those abroad.

    Later when I started to speak in tongues, 1 Corinthians 14, it was just as Jesus said, "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth." Acts 1:8.

    All I wanted was what my Daddy God wants, that every person on earth be saved, 1 Timothy 2:4, from going to hell where he will be constantly tortured as Jesus said in Luke 16:23, in the sea of ever-burning fire which is the second death, Revelation 21:8.

    I wrote Jesus' Good News in our Mauritian Creole, had them printed on small papers and shared thousands of them between bus stations. Daddy God, may all Mauritians hear the Good News 🙂 And now through Facebook, let our posts with Jesus' Good News go to the ends of the earth, so be it in Jesus' name Hallelujah!

    Do you know the Good News of how you can go to heaven? Believe now and say, "I have decided to follow Jesus, because he is the ONLY way to heaven, John 14:6. I turn away from all my sins, because Jesus said, 'From now on don't sin, John 8:11, a sinner REPENTS and becomes SAVED.' Luke 15:10. So be it in Jesus' name, Hallelujah!"

    Congrats Kian! You’ve hit your three year anniversary on YouTube! You’ve grown up so much and I remember you by your collaboration with QCP to make the lasagna sandwich, and I’ll be the first to say that you’ve come a huge way from where you started, very well deserved Kian! I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say that we’re proud of what your channel has become
