Directions

  1. Prepare the broth and keep it simmering on the stove so that it remains hot and doesn’t interfere with the cooking of the rice.
  2. Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened.
  3. Add the chopped radicchio and simmer over very low heat for 15 minutes.
  4. Add the rice and just enough broth to cover, then mix well.
  5. Add a generous pinch of coarse salt and continue cooking, adding broth occasionally and stirring frequently.
  6. Once the rice is cooked (according to the manufacturer’s instructions), add the Parmesan cheese, mix well, turn off the heat, cover, and let it thicken for 2 minutes.
  7. Arrange the peppers, freshly ground black pepper, and a drizzle of raw olive oil in the center of the plate, along with the walnuts. ≈ 2 min
  8. Serve hot. ≈ 2 min
