Do you want to bring to your table the freshness of the summer? Try this unusual and delicate risotto recipe that successfully mixes together the taste of citruses and seafood.
Ingredients (serves 4)
2 cups rice (Arborio kind)
10 oz. natural canned tuna
2 orange fruits
2 shallots
3 cups vegetable stock
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup white wine
pepper
parsley leaves
Preparation
Peel the orange fruits, keeping apart the zest, and squeeze the juice out. Put the zest in some boiling water for a couple of minutes to soften then slice thinly half of it, keeping the rest for the final decoration.
Warm the oil in the a large pan, pour into the sliced shallots and let them cook for some minutes until golden, add the tuna, the sliced orange zest, the rice and the white wine. When the wine is absorbed add the orange juice and then some vegetable stock every time the risotto becomes too dry. Cook for about 10-15 minutes or until the stock absorbed and the rice is cooked but with grains still well separated. Dust with some pepper, decorate with the remaining orange zest an the parsley leaves and serve.

What a great combination! Can't wait to try this. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful dish... never tried orange and tuna before!
Wow, this looks very unusual but tempting!
sounds delightful cant wait to try this!
Thanks for your kind comments. I got this idea because I knew two recipes, one of risotto with orange and the other of risotto with tonno, both delightful.
So I tried to get the best from each and I must say that the taste is surprisingly delicate, not sweet at all (because of the vegetable stock and the pepper) with the flavor of orange that is different than the usual lemon used with seafood, but also similarly acid.
A great photo and the change up with orange as citrus has piqued my interest.
Hi Alessandro, I cooked your risotto yesterday - picture on my blog. It was very good! Thank you for recipe. I added your blog to my favorites, because I like italian cusine very much, good pictures too. I'm waiting for next recipes. Greetings from Warsaw.
Never thought of mixing tuna and orange in a risotto! I love mixture of orange and fish in general, and that risotto looks like a great dish, beside your pictures are always amazing, they make you want to eat the pot too.
Wow!! Really a great combination dish!
Absolutely... Awesome!
