Cooking Steps
- Prepare the stock.
- Melt half of the butter in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the mince for 3 minutes, separating it as you do so, then remove from the pan and set aside.
- Meanwhile, chop the onion and crush or mince the garlic. Dice the carrot.
- Melt the rest of the butter in the same pan over medium-high heat. Fry the garlic, onion and carrot for 6 - 8 minutes, then deglaze with the balsamic vinegar.
- Stir in the risotto rice and toast the grains for 1 minute.
- Add the tomatoes, rosemary and bay leaf, then pour in a third of the stock. Allow the stock to slowly incorporate, stirring regularly.
- Repeat with the rest of the stock, adding it in two more batches. The risotto is done when the rice is soft but still al dente. This should take around 25 - 30 minutes.
- Add extra water and cook longer if you'd prefer the risotto to be less al dente.
- Grate the Parmigiano Reggiano and chop the basil.
- When the risotto is done, remove the rosemary and the bay leaf.
- Add the mince and the Sicilian-style herbs, then mix well and cook for 1 more minute.
- Take the pan off the heat, then stir in the mascarpone and half of the Parmigiano Reggiano. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve the risotto on deep plates.
- Garnish with the basil and the rest of the Parmigiano Reggiano.
