Ingredients

  • 350 g Carnaroli rice
  • Hot chili pepper
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic
  • Salt
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Sweet pepper flour or paprika (optional)
  • Bottarga (optional)
  • Parsley oil (optional)

Procedure

In a pan, brown the garlic, cut into thin slices, with the chili pepper and a drizzle of oil.

Add the rice and toast it.

Begin to cook the risotto with hot water or very light vegetable broth, if you have it.

Serve with a sprinkling of flour, a few drops of parsley oil, and grated bottarga if you like.

Note: the amount of chili pepper depends on its spiciness.
