Questo piatto si prepara allo stesso modo e con gli stessi
ingredienti di quello precedente - Risotto con le seppie - soltanto che,
prima di aggiungere l'acqua, si mescola al riso il nero delle seppie.

Risoto de scampi,
although not eaten all that often by Venetians - but very
popular with Istrians - is usually associated with Venice. When properly
prepared it is delicate and delightful.
The scampi best suited to this recipe are small, the tail measuring 1-1/2
to 2 inches maximum. In the markets in Venice when they are this little they
come with the heads already detached since the claws when so small have no
commercial value. This is too bad. We think that by using the heads and
claws, the broth in which the rice is to be cooked could be made stronger
without masking the scampi flavor.
More about the broth. We use the water in which the scampi have been
boiled and supplement it with boiling water only. Some people prefer to use
fish stock in order to give the rice a more substantial flavor. We feel that
fish stock overpowers the scampi flavor and the delicateness is lost.
- 1 pound small scampi without heads
- 3 cups cold water
- Salt
- another 2-1/2 cups water, simmer in 2 ounces butter
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, peeled
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
- 1/2 medium onion
- finely chopped Pepper
- (1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese)
Rinse the scampi under running water and place them in a pot. Cover with
3 cups cold water and add a little salt. Use much less salt than you
normally would for boiling crustaceans since the rice will be cooked in this
water. Place the pot over high heat and bring the water to a boil. Cook for
7 or 8 minutes from the time the water reaches a rolling boil. If too much
foam forms during cooking, skim it and reduce the flame to a point where the
water boils less vigorously. After 7 or 8 minutes, remove the scampi from
the broth. Strain the broth through a cloth and set aside for later use.
Peel the scampi and vein them if you wish.
Return the scampi broth to a boil. In another saucepan bring 2V2
cups of water to a simmer. While the broth and water are heating, go on to
the next step.
(Read the introductory remarks about rice) Place a saucepan containing
butter and olive oil over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the
garlic and cook it until browned. Remove and discard the garlic. Add the
parsley and onion. Stir occasionally while cooking until the onion becomes
translucent, 5 minutes or so. Then add about half of the scampi and some
pepper. Mix well for a minute or so and then add the rice. Mix again and
then start adding the broth a little at a time. When the broth is exhausted,
add the simmering water as needed. After 15 minutes cooking, add the
remaining scampi and continue to cook until the rice is ready, another 3
minutes or so. The rice should be tender but not mushy.
You may add a little Parmesan cheese, but be careful not to overdo it.
Correct the seasoning and serve in soup dishes.

Risoto de bisi is prepared in exactly the
same way as the minestra called Risi e bisi
except that less broth is used. Subtracting a cup and a half of broth should
give the proper consistency.Source:

Ingredienti:
- riso
- sugo di carne
- brodo
- burro
- formaggio grattugiato
Anzitutto bisogna preparare un buon brodo ed un buon sugo. Quindi in un
tegame posto sul fuoco, si deposita qualche cucchiaio di sugo e si getta il
riso (un pugneto per persona), mescolandolo per qualche minuto
affinchè assorba il condimento. Man mano che il fondo del tegame si asciuga,
si versa qualche cazioleto di brodo bollente, avendo cura di
mescolare in continuazione. A cottura avvenuta se sonsi (si aggiunge)
qualche cucchiaio di sugo, un po' di burro ed un pizzico abbondante di
formaggio, amalgamando il tutto con un'ultima mescolata. Prima di ripartirlo
fumante nei piatti, sta bene che, per un momento, il risotto riposi.
