- Prepare a vegetable broth using scraps of celery, carrot, onion, and optionally artichoke peels.
- Finely chop a white onion (or shallot).
- In a saucepan, melt a knob of butter and sauté the chopped onion until soft and translucent.
- Add Carnaroli rice and toast it, stirring constantly, until the grains become translucent around the edges.
- Add a generous amount of white wine and let the alcohol evaporate completely.
- Add a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add boiling vegetable broth, one ladleful at a time, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 14–15 minutes, tasting the rice for doneness.
- While the risotto cooks, place a few cubes of salted butter in the freezer.
- When the rice is al dente, remove from heat and add the frozen butter and a generous amount of aged Parmigiano Reggiano (24 months). Stir vigorously to mantecare (creaming).
- Plate the risotto and shave an entire white truffle generously over the top. Serve immediately.
