Preparation steps

1.

For the risotto, peel the shallot and chop finely. Heat oil in a pan and saute the shallot with rice until translucent. Add in the white wine and mix. Gradually pour the broth and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is cooked al dente and the risotto is creamy.

2.

Rinse, trim and chop the zucchini into small pieces. Add the chopped zucchini to the rice during the last 5 minutes of cooking time.

Rinse and trim the zucchini blossom and fry for 1-2 minutes in hot oil. Drain on paper towels. Rinse the basil, shake dry, pluck off the leaves and chop finely (keep some leaves aside for garnish).

3.

Finally, stir the Parmesan, butter and basil into the risotto and season with salt and pepper.

4.

Transfer the risotto to plates and serve garnished with basil and zucchini flowers.
