Thanksgiving is all about coming together and enjoying dishes that exude warmth and cosiness. This risotto with roasted Brussels sprouts and truffle cheese fits that idea perfectly. The dish combines the full, creamy flavour of risotto with the roasted, slightly crunchy Brussels sprouts and a subtle hint of truffle. The result is a tasty addition to the Thanksgiving table, without being too complicated to make.
Wash the sprouts thoroughly. Remove the outer leaves and cut a small piece from the stalk at the bottom. Then shave the sprouts into evenly thin slices with a mandolin or sharp knife.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Put the Brussels sprouts in a large bowl and add a splash of olive oil, salt and pepper. Grate half of the truffle cheese over the sprouts. Mix well.
Cover a baking tray with baking paper. Spread the sprouts on the baking tray and roast them in the oven for 20 minutes. Keep a close eye on them during baking so they don't burn. When the truffle cheese has melted nicely and formed a crispy crust, the Brussels sprouts are ready.
Finely chop an onion and fry it gently in a frying pan with some olive oil. Then add the risotto rice and fry briefly. Deglaze the risotto with a dash of wine and keep stirring until the wine is completely absorbed by the rice.
Make a stock with hot water and the stock cube. Add the stock gradually, spoon by spoon, while continuing to stir. Repeat until the stock is almost fully absorbed and the rice is almost cooked. This process takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
When the rice is al dente, add a knob of butter and the remaining grated truffle cheese. Leave to rest briefly and then stir well again.
Spoon the risotto onto a plate and finish with a few spoonfuls of the sprouts. Enjoy your meal!

Risotto with pumpkin is the perfect dish for an atmospheric autumn or winter evening, or as a main course at a special dinner party. The combination of creamy risotto, sweet roasted pumpkin and rich organic goat cheese makes it full of flavour and deliciously warming. This dish is also surprisingly easy to make. Apart from carving the pumpkin and mushrooms, it requires little preparation. While the pumpkin roasts in the oven, you can make the risotto base by gently frying onion and garlic. Slowly add the stock to the risotto rice. This creates the creamy texture. The result is a flavourful risotto. Buon appetito!
This colourful beetroot risotto with goat cheese and lemon is not only easy to make, but also a true taste sensation. The sweet, earthy beets combine beautifully with the creamy goat cheese and a hint of fresh lemon. This dish is inspired by the Italian *tricolore*, where the colours green, white and red - represented by the fresh herbs, cheese and beetroot - come together. This makes the risotto not only pleasing to the eye, but also a particularly flavourful dish. Perfect for a festive dinner where you want to impress without spending a lot of time in the kitchen.
