8 servings
30 minutes
One of the main figures in the new Moscow gastronomy, chef of the United Kitchen restaurant Andrey Ryvkin teaches how to make a pie, which in Italy is made with the remains of yesterday's dinner. This pie is so delicious that it is worthy of the risotto with ratatouille made especially for it.
1
First, prepare ratatouille for the risotto. Cut the eggplant, red onion, zucchini, and bell pepper into medium cubes. Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a pan, add the eggplant, then, with a small interval, add the zucchini, pepper, and onion. Sauté for about three minutes, then drizzle with olive oil infused with thyme, rosemary, and garlic, and season with salt and pepper.

- Olive oil with herbs: 1 teaspoon

Finely chop the shallots and garlic. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a saucepan, add the shallots, garlic, and thyme, and sauté. Add the rice and sauté it a bit as well. Pour in the wine and let it evaporate. Gradually add hot broth, allowing each portion to evaporate. Once it evaporates, stir in the parmesan and add the ratatouille. Mix gently, but not too much: otherwise, the rice will become mushy.
- Shallots: 1 head
- Garlic: 1 clove
- Olive oil: 3 tablespoons
- Thyme: 1 stem
- Arborio rice: 100 g
- Dry white wine: 100 ml

Add cream to the risotto, mix, season with salt and pepper, and remove from heat. When it cools slightly, stir in an egg (as a binding agent). Grease two small pans, place the risotto in them, and put in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for about 10-12 minutes. The risotto should form a crust on top while remaining semi-liquid inside.
- Cream 33%: 25 ml
- Salt: to taste
- Ground black pepper: to taste
- Chicken egg: 1 piece
