Rice with Valdostana fondue
Preparation:
Prepare the fondue: remove the fontina crust and cut it into cubes; put the freshly cut cheese in a pan with crushed garlic and cover with milk, put everything in a cool (not cold) place for a couple of hours.
After 2 hours, put the contents of the pan in a pan together with a knob of butter; let it melt over a very low flame (or bain-marie), stirring constantly. When the consistency allows it, stir in one egg yolk at a time, mixing quickly; turn off as soon as you get a smooth and creamy sauce.
In the meantime, prepare a simple risotto: brown the chopped onion in a knob of butter and, when it becomes transparent, pour in the rice and, stirring, let it absorb the sauce. Sprinkle with a splash of white wine and let it evaporate, then add salt and cook the rice by pouring a ladle of hot broth at a time; turn it off al dente and season with a little fondue and pepper. Arrange the rice on a hot serving dish and cover it with the rest of the fondue.
