Mediterranean gurnard risotto
At the Raffilù restaurant in Peschiera del Garda, Italy, almost nothing of the fish is thrown away. Take this Mediterranean gurnard risotto, in which all of the parts of the fish are used, including what many consider waste, but which for chef Ignazio Leone are precious ingredients.

Step 01
Step 02
Now transfer the roasted carcasses and vegetables to a pan, bring to temperature and deglaze with dry white wine. Once the alcohol has evaporated, add the tomato paste and cold water, or rather, ice.
Step 03
Let it simmer for about 4 to 5 hours and add water if necessary. Then strain through a fine-mesh strainer to create a gel.
Step 04
Toast the rice in a saucepan with a little oil and cook it with pre-prepared fish stock.
Step 05
Season with salt and pepper. Once the rice is cooked, turn off the flame and add the Grana Padano and butter. Mix well until creamy.
Step 06
At the base of the plate lay the risotto and garnish with gurnard sashimi seasoned with a little salt and pepper and a small grating of lime. Add the gel prepared earlier with the addition of a pinch of agar agar.
