Angela's Italian Recipe for Risotto with Chicken Livers, Sherry and Truffle Oil

Risotto with Chicken Livers, Sherry and Truffle Oil
(Risotto con Fegatini di Pollo, Sherry e Olio di Tartufo)


Ingredients:

30 ounces chicken broth 2 cups water 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 3 green onions, chopped 1 and 1/4 cups Arborio rice or medium-grain white rice (about 8 ounces) 2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup dry Sherry 1 tablespoon butter 3/4 lb chicken livers, trimmed, lobes separated, patted dry All purpose flour 2 tablespoons truffle oil

Directions:

Reserve 1/2 cup broth. Combine remaining broth and 2 cups water in heavy medium saucepan and bring to simmer. Remove from heat. Cover to keep warm. Heat olive oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add green onions; saute 1 minute. Add rice; saute 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons Sherry and stir until absorbed. Add 3/4 cup warm broth mixture and stir until liquid is absorbed. Continue adding remaining broth mixture, 3/4 cup at a time, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender, about 30 minutes. Season risotto with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle livers with salt and pepper and dust with flour. Add livers to skillet and saute until pink in center, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to plate. Add 1/4 cup Sherry and reserved 1/2 cup broth to skillet. Boil until reduced to glaze, stirring up any browned bits, about 4 minutes. Return livers to skillet and stir to coat. Divide risotto among plates; spoon livers and pan juices over. Drizzle with truffle oil. Make 6 (first-course) servings.
