BLACK TRUFFLE RISOTTO

We were blown away by this Black Truffle Risotto while dining in Singapore and couldn't wait to recreate it at home! Hard working dad chef, Simone Loisi, was kind enough to share his recipe with us. Born in Italy, trained in France, and married to a local Singaporean, he loves teaching others how to make his homeland cuisine.
