Instructions
1
Begin by preparing the savoy cabbage: remove the tough stalk and slice the leaves into thin strips. Next, peel and finely dice the onions.
2
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until they are translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
3
Stir in the sliced savoy cabbage and the risotto rice, sautéing everything together for an additional 3 minutes. This will help the rice absorb the flavors and give it a slight toast.
4
Deglaze the pot with white wine, allowing it to simmer for about 2 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated.
5
Gradually add half of the vegetable broth, stirring consistently. Allow the mixture to simmer on medium heat for about 20 minutes, adding the remaining broth slowly. Continue to stir frequently to achieve a creamy texture.
6
Once the rice has absorbed nearly all of the liquid and is al dente, stir in the diced red camembert cheese and butter. Mix well until the cheese has melted into the risotto.
7
Season with fresh dill and pepper to taste. For an added crunch and flavor, you can also sprinkle some chopped walnuts on top before serving. Enjoy your delicious risotto!
