Preparation

Step 1

Hazelnuts:
Preheat the oven to 180 ° C. Coarsely chop the hazelnuts and place them on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper. Let them roast for 10 minutes checking regularly and let them cool, then rub them in a cloth to remove the brown skin. Reserve.
The asparagus:
Peel the green asparagus steam cook for 15 minutes. Cut off the heads and keep the rest of the asparagus for another use.

Squids:
Halve each small squid and remove the tentacles and interior. Rinse well under cold water. Blot them on paper towels. Cut into thin strips. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan with the shallot, peeled and chopped. Add the chopped squid, salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Reserve.

Rice:
Peel the shallots and chop finely. Heat in a pan a drizzle of olive oil and add the shallots. Cook, stirring, without browning. Add the rice in the pan, and coat well with olive oil and shallots. The rice should cook a few minutes on low heat without browning. When the rice is pearly, deglaze with the white wine and lemon juice, boil and evaporate completely. Pour a ladleful of a hot spicy bouillon stock, enough to cover all the rice, stirring constantly, cook again until there is no liquid left, and repeat the same operation as many times as necessary, always stirring constantly, over low heat. The rice is cooked when the grains are still slightly soft and firm inside. Stir in the cream, ricotta, a little freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped chives. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Reheat gently straightening the squid. Divide the risotto into 4 shallow bowls. Lay on top some squid, some heads of asparagus, crushed hazelnuts, parmesan and garnish with lemon zest, chives and pink peppercorns. Serve immediately!!!!!

Step 2
