Recipe for Seared Abanico with Green Risotto of Fresh Basil & Asparagus

Ingredients

  • 1 pack of Campo Grande Ibérico Abanico steak
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1 cup fresh parsley leaves
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 shallots, finely chopped
  • 10 asparagus, trimmed and cut into small pieces
  • 1 1/2 cups risotto (Arborio rice)
  • 4-5 cups chicken or vegetable broth, kept warm
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons extra butter (optional, for finishing)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Green Sauce:

    • In a blender or food processor, combine the basil, parsley, and olive oil.
    • Blend until smooth. Season with salt to taste. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Risotto:

    • In a large pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
    • Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté until they become translucent.
    • Stir in the asparagus pieces and cook for about 2-3 minutes.
    • Add the risotto rice and stir to coat it with the butter, shallots, and asparagus.
    • Gradually add the warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously. Allow each addition of broth to be absorbed before adding the next. Continue until the rice is creamy and cooked to your desired texture, about 18-20 minutes.
    • Stir in the green sauce and mix well.
    • Add the grated Parmesan cheese and extra butter if desired. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  3. Cook the Ibérico Abanico:

    • Clean the excess fat from the abanico and save it to cook with later.
    • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the trimmings to cook the Abanico in its own fat.
    • Season the Ibérico Abanico with salt and pepper on both sides.
    • Cook the Ibérico Abanico for 2-3 minutes per side, depending on your preferred level of doneness.this cooking time is for a medium rare doneness.
    • Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, slice it against the grain.
  4. Assemble the Dish:

    • Plate the risotto first, and the sliced abanico on top.
    • Enjoy!
