preparation
step 1
Start by cleaning and mincing the onion and frying it in a little extra virgin olive oil and water until it softens and becomes golden. Meanwhile rinse the brown rice under running water to remove all traces of impurities.
step 2
Then add the rice to the sauté and lightly toast it for a minute, pouring the white wine, taking care to make it evaporate almost completely.
step 3
In the meantime wash the radicchio and cut it in half and then in strips. Then add it to the rice, leaving possibly a small knife aside that you will use later almost at the end of cooking; then pour the boiling vegetable stock, previously prepared, until
step 4
almost completely cover the rice. Lower the flame and cover with a lid, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon and adding, if necessary, another broth so as not to dry out too much.
step 5
For cooking brown rice, it usually takes about 45-50 minutes depending on the quality and taste. When it is about 5 minutes to cook add the radicchio that you had put aside to get a hint of crunchy vegetables and finish cooking.
step 6
Meanwhile coarsely chop the hazelnuts and toast for a couple of minutes in the pan. Season with salt and pepper, let stand in pot for 5 minutes and serve with a sprinkling of toasted hazelnuts. Enjoy your meal!
