Hello everybody, it’s Jim, welcome to our recipe page. Today, we’re going to make a distinctive dish, pear and cheddar risotto. It is one of my favorites food recipes. This time, I will make it a little bit unique. This will be really delicious.
The strong taste of risotto with gorgonzola cheese is softened by the sweet and juicy pear flavour and enriched with crunchy chopped walnuts. The fruit we used is Williams pear, but you can use the quality of the season, if you prefer. Our lactose free brown rice risotto made with Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar, herbs and sweet peas is creamy, rich and filling, just like traditional risottos, but with a minimal amount of stirring and I tried this recipe without using cheddar and with adding mushrooms.
Pear and cheddar risotto is one of the most well liked of recent trending foods in the world. It is easy, it is quick, it tastes yummy. It is enjoyed by millions every day. Pear and cheddar risotto is something that I have loved my entire life. They are fine and they look fantastic.
To begin with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook pear and cheddar risotto using 9 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Pear and cheddar risotto:
- Get risotto rice (Arborio or Carnaroli)
- Get Conference pear
- Get onion
- Make ready mature cheddar
- Take hot vegetable stock
- Take a glass of ale (or cider?)
- Prepare lemon zest or lemon thyme
- Prepare Olive oil

I like using Romano since it is a bit saltier and sharper than Parmesan, making additional salt unnecessary. Ricotta provides a lovely creaminess, while green shiso adds a citrus note. Sweet ripe pear matched with the delicate saltiness of prosciutto defines this creamy risotto that goes well with any roast meat or poultry. Pungent, crispy fried sage leaves give a special finishing touch to this dish.
Instructions to make Pear and cheddar risotto:
- Chop the onion finely.
- Heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in a non stick pan and add a pinch of salt. Fry the onions for a few minutes on low heat.
- In the meantime, chop the pear in 1 cm cubes. Once the onions are golden, add the pears to the pan.
- After a couple of minutes, add the rice and toast it for one minute or so mixing continuously.
- Remove from heat to cool down the pan. Then add the ale and mix until it stops sizzling. Return the pan on the hob, on low heat.
- Start adding stock, one ladleful at a time while stirring the risotto.
- Guess what…keep stirring! And adding more stock when the risotto gets dry. It should simmer and be moist - you'll see the starch come out and look creamier the more you stir.
- It should take about 20 minutes to cook, but you're the best judge. Keep it al dente!
- Remove from heat, add grated cheddar and lemon zest or lemon thyme. Mix well. Season with salt, pepper and olive oil.
And thus the Pear and Sharp Cheddar Grilled Cheese Sandwich was born! Oh fine, I'm sure other people have done it many times before, but it's new to me. Since I'm forever counting calories, I used only an ounce of cheese on each sandwich so it's not one of those super gooey oozy grilled cheeses. Risotto with pear and gorgonzola is a well-known dish in Italy. I had made it before, but a post by Francesca about risotto with speck and apples reminded me that I had never blogged about it.
