• Water
• Frying fat

Ten minutes before the end of the cooking time, put pee on the cabbage and cook with it .Season with spices before serving. Serve classically with boiled potatoes.

Kale Risotto With Pears And Bacon

Also hearty, but a little more modern than the classic, is a kale risotto.

Ingredients (For Four Servings)

• 200 g risotto rice
• 600 ml poultry stock
• 200g kale
• 1 ripe pear
• 3 tablespoons butter + 1 tablespoon cold butter
• 2 onions
• 100g bacon
• 50g Parmesan
• Salt pepper

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 200 °C top and bottom heat or 180 °C fan oven .Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and lightly brown the risotto rice. Please always stir so that it doesn't burn! Then pour in 400 ml of the stock and cover and let it soak in the oven for 25 minutes.

Dice the bacon and onions and chop the washed kale into bite-sized pieces. Peel the pear and cut it into cubes about 1 cm in size .Now heat the remaining butter and sauté diced onions, diced bacon and chopped kale. Add the pear cubes and heat for about five minutes.

Remove the pot from the oven and fold the kale and pear mixture into the rice. Reserve a little of the mixture for decoration .Stir in the cheese and cold butter, season with spices, decorate with the remaining kale and pear mixture and serve immediately.

Tip: Use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock and omit the bacon and the kale risotto also tastes wonderful as a vegetarian. Instead of bacon, you can fold in 2 tablespoons of roasted pumpkin seeds.
