Preparation

  1. STEP 1 OF 5

    I started with a vegetable broth. I used carrot, onion, orange peels, and a bunch of parsley. I covered with water and brought to a boil.

  2. STEP 2 OF 5

    Meanwhile, I prepared a sautéed onion in which I toasted the rice. Once toasted, I poured in the juice of an orange.

  3. STEP 3 OF 5

    Then I started the classic risotto cooking by adding vegetable broth little by little and stirring often.

  4. STEP 4 OF 5

    When the rice was almost cooked, I added the grated zest of an orange. I adjusted with salt and pepper, turned off the heat, and continued stirring.

  5. STEP 5 OF 5

    I incorporated the pistachio crumbs and some chopped fresh parsley. I mixed again and plated, garnishing everything with more pistachio crumbs and more orange zest.
