Instructions
Chop up the nuts, roast them in a pan without fat and put them aside. Warm up the vegetable stock. Peel the apples, cut them into bite-sized pieces and fry them in a pan with 2 tablespoon of olive oil and sage. Add the rice and fry it for 1 minute or until the rice grains crackle slightly. Add the wine and let the liquid evaporate.
The hot stock can now be poured in - just enough to cover the rice. Let the risotto simmer, stirring it every now and again and adding the stock until the rice is cooked. Depending on the type of rice you use, this will take about 17 to 20 minutes.
You will find there commended cooking times on the package. The rice grain should still have a little bite to it. At the end, stir with butter and grated grana cheese until the risotto is creamy. Serve with plenty of pepper and the roasted nuts. If you like, you can fry some bacon and serve it with the risotto.
