Italian essence

We at Cullera de Boix are not too lazy to keep stirring, hence our risottos are amazingly successful

If the Cullera de Boix chef is specialising in something, this is rice. Therefore, do not be surprised if Xavier Matarrodona expands his valuable paella cookbook with foreign formulas that are as resolute as Italian risotto. Catalans are increasingly spending time to get better at cooking a good risotto, and here they will find a great challenge: the chef suggests an essentially Italian recipe (starring Gorgonzola), but cooked with mushrooms from our land and rice from the Ebro delta.
