Angelo Sabatelli's cheese risotto recipe features an unusual combination of ingredients, including dried apricots, bitter coffee and celery powder. Caciocavallo, a majestic southern Italian cheese which is hung from a rope to drain as it ages, adds a unique salty flavour to the finished dish – the old the cheese, the stronger the flavour so choose according to your own personal tastes when sourcing the cheese. Using water to make risottos is common practice in Italy, although you could use vegetable or chicken stock for a richer flavour if you wish.
It took Angelo Sabatelli a good few years working around the world to realise his true calling was to cook the traditional cuisine of Puglia, but when he returned home to open his first restaurant, the wait was worth it.
