Risotto alla pilota
Gen 4th, 2010 by Uvetta
Questa è la ricetta di famiglia del risotto così come lo si fa nelle grandi occasioni, come pranzi di Natale, feste del tutto eccezionali, apertura di vecchie bottiglie messe in cantina per feste di laurea e mai aperte, e cose così. La ricetta è di mio papà ed io ignoro quanto ci sia di veramente originale e quanto di aggiunto o semplificato da lui, so che negli anni mi è capitato di visionare altre versioni su libri di cucina e su internet, che mai ho realmente preso in considerazione, perchè per me il risotto alla pilota è quello che prepara mio papà e basta. Va detto che trovo questa preparazione estremamente moderna e attuale, soprattutto per l’uso abbondante di spezie. Ne avevo già parlato qui, a proposito di varietà e lavorazione del riso, ma questa che vedete nella foto è la mia vera prima volta del risotto alla pilota, nel senso che quest’anno l’onere e l’onore di prepararlo per Natale è toccato a me. Ammetto di aver avuto un po’ di tremarella, soprattutto per via della imponderabilità del giudizio di mio padre, che mi aspettavo a dir poco severo e logorroico, ma invece il suo responso è stato ‘ah però, Silvanina quando ci si mette…’
La ricetta è di quelle che richiedono cura, amore e pazienza, ma ricca di soddisfazione e soprattutto di piacere per il palato. E’ tipica della bassa veronese, luogo di produzione del famoso riso Vialone Nano che è strettamente raccomandato necessario per la buona riuscita e per le caratteristiche tradizionali del piatto. Il risultato infatti deve essere quello di un risotto ben sgranato, e per questo ci vuole un riso che rilasci poco amido in cottura. Altra caratteristica particolare è quella della tecnica di cottura, qui si tratta di mettere il riso a bollire nella giusta quantità di brodo facendo in modo che si assorba tutta per fine cottura. Nel caso si trovi difficile regolarsi, meglio mettere un po’ di brodo in meno ed eventualmente aggiungerlo già bollente come per un risotto classico. Ora, i passaggi sono semplici: bisogna preparare il brodo un giorno prima e farlo raffreddare completamente in modo da poter togliere tutto il grasso che affiora in superficie. Poi bisogna preparare il tastasal, ovvero il condimento del risotto a base di carne di maiale e spezie. Infine si procede alla cottura del riso nel brodo e si condisce il tutto con parmigiano e cannella.
Ingredienti per circa 4 porzioni e 300 gr di riso
per il brodo (da preparare il giorno prima)
1 kg di punta di petto di manzo o bue
1/2 gallina o cappone (quest’anno abbiamo usato la gallina bianca di Saluzzo)
ossa da bollito con il midollo
sale, acqua, 1 cipolla, 1 carota, un pezzetto di sedano
Lessare tutto in una grande pentola partendo da acqua fredda. Far raffreddare per tutta una notte e sgrassare.
Per il tastasal (ovvero il condimento del risotto)
Abbondante olio evo
3 o 4 rametti di rosmarino, deve essere molto abbondante
5 o 6 chiodi di garofano
una manciata di pepe nero in grani
1 fetta di capocollo di maiale (circa 150 gr)
1 fetta di lonza di maiale (circa 150 gr)
sale
due dita di cognac per sfumare
per servire
cannella macinata
parmigiano reggiano grattugiato
Predisporre una piccola pentola di terracotta sul fuoco molto basso e con la retina spargifiamma, mettervi l’olio e il rosmarino (tritato se preferite), aggiungere il pepe abbondante e i chiodi di garofano, intanto che il tutto si scalda un po’ (senza soffriggere) tagliare le due carni a piccoli pezzi con un paio di forbici e metterle in pentola, mescolare bene, salare e far cuocere a fuoco bassissimo e con il coperchio per circa due ore mescolando di tanto in tanto. La carne deve risultare sempre coperta quasi a filo dall’olio. A fine cottura aggiungere il cognac e lasciar consumare quasi completamente. Si ottiene una sorta di ragù speziato e profumatissimo con la carne bella morbida. Prelevare il brodo necessario (circa 1.250 ml) e portarlo ad ebollizione in una pentola, aggiustare di sale se necessario e farvi cuocere il riso. Ultimata la cottura condire con il tastasal, mescolare bene e impiattare. Unire una generosa spolverata di cannella e di parmigiano reggiano.
beh…manco a dirlo di secondo si mangia il bollito! ;-)
no…il risotto col tastasal noooo!! è troppo buono…. :-(
una favola!!
devo assolutamente farlo subito! il condimento così profumato…conoscevo la ricetta solo di nome, sapevo solo che ci voleva il vialone nano ma è una vera scoperta!
Mitico! Il risotto alla pilota è tra i miei preferiti! E poi l’hai postato proprio nel giorno del mio compleanno…sarà destino!

The Hermes Birkin bag represents perhaps the most legendary symbol of opulence in the world of fashion. Created for actress and singer Jane Birkin, this meticulously crafted bag has risen above its
status as a mere accessory to become a cultural phenomenon and valuable asset that
often increases in worth as years go by. With prices commencing at five figures and waiting lists that can extend years,
the Birkin represents the pinnacle of prestige in premium fashion items.
The Origin and Story
The Birkin bag was created from a chance encounter in 1984 when Jane Birkin,
seated next to Hermes chief executive Jean-Louis Dumas on a flight from Paris to London, expressed
frustration over not finding a leather weekend bag that suited her
needs. Dumas immediately sketched a design on an airplane sickness bag—and
the Birkin was created.
Every Birkin is individually crafted by a single skilled worker
in France, needing between 18 and 25 hours to finish. This
painstaking craftsmanship, combined with the use of exceptional materials, contributes to both its substantial price tag and extraordinary durability.
Sizing and Models
The Birkin comes in various sizes, each indicated by
the bag’s width in centimeters:
Birkin 25cm: The most sought-after size at present, perfect for everyday essentials while remaining elegant and compact
Birkin 30cm: The traditional size that merges practicality with elegance
Birkin 35cm: A roomier option chosen for its
roominess as a day bag or for travel
Birkin 40cm: Less common, designed for trips or as a statement piece
Premium Materials and Artisanship
Hermès procures the finest materials for its Birkin bags, with options including:
Togo Calfskin: A durable, pebbled leather with a slight sheen
Clemence: A more supple leather with a flat finish
Epsom: A structured printed leather recognized for being lightweight and scratch-resistant
Swift: A smooth leather with a subtle sheen
Ostrich: Recognized for its characteristic quill bumps
Lizard: Featuring delicate, small scales in a distinctive
pattern
Crocodile and Alligator: The most prestigious and costly options, featuring larger scales and remarkable
luster
The Most Sought-After Varieties
Among enthusiasts and fans, certain Birkin editions
stand out for their remarkable rarity and allure:
Himalaya Niloticus Crocodile Birkin: Often referred to as “the Holy Grail” of handbags, this bag displays meticulously dyed crocodile skin that creates a gradient reminiscent of the Himalayan mountains.
When adorned with diamond hardware, these bags have sold
at public sales for over $300,000.
Diamond Birkins: Boasting hardware encrusted with diamonds, these embody the highest fusion of
handbag artistry and high jewelry.
Sellier vs. Retourne: Birkins come in two
principal construction styles—the firm Sellier with noticeable outside stitching or the more relaxed
Retourne with internal stitching.
Limited Editions: Exclusive collections like
the Faubourg (resembling the façade of the Hermès flagship store) or
Cargo (featuring additional external pockets) fetch significant premiums.
HSS (Horseshoe Stamp): These special-order Birkins allow clients
to customize color combinations and hardware, making them
distinctive collector’s items.
Color Spectrum
Hermes is celebrated for its extensive color palette, with certain hues reaching legendary status among collectors:
Noir (Black): The classic versatile option
Gold: A rich caramel tan that has become a signature Hermès color

The Financial Value
While luxury fashion items typically lose value after purchase, Birkins often grow more
valuable—particularly rare colors, exotic materials, or limited editions.
The pre-owned market for verified Birkins has expanded substantially, with some styles
appreciating 14% annually on average, exceeding traditional
investment classes.
Genuineness Concerns
The Birkin’s status as a symbol of luxury has unfortunately led to a substantial
market for fakes. Genuine Birkins feature perfect craftsmanship with:
Exact, even stitching
High-quality hardware with proper engravings
A exact date stamp format
Included authenticity cards and proper packaging
The distinctive Hermes saddle stitch
Market Accessibility
Purchasing a Birkin directly from an Hermes boutique remains demanding, as the bags are not exhibited for regular purchase.
Instead, they are typically provided to loyal clients
who have proven loyalty to the brand. This planned scarcity has only increased the Birkin’s legendary reputation and
allure.
Cultural Impact
The Birkin has been highlighted prominently in pop culture, perhaps
most memorably in an episode of “Sex and the City” where Samantha
uses a client’s name to avoid the waiting list, and in many celebrity photos.
It has become shorthand for unparalleled luxury and exclusivity, with collectors developing entire “collections” of different sizes, colors, and materials.
Final Thoughts
More than just a handbag, the Hermès Birkin symbolizes the convergence of masterful craftsmanship, classic design, and calculated exclusivity.
Its persistent popularity despite its considerable price point
demonstrates both its quality and the strong allure of owning something truly extraordinary.
For fashion lovers and collectors alike, the Birkin remains the supreme status symbol—a true icon that
transcends fashion trends to achieve the status of artistic masterpiece.

Small-sized bathrooms may instantly conjure images of cramped
floor spaces, messy scenes of
toiletries and bathroom essentials spread here and there, poor ventilation, lack
of natural light, and
so on. In many cases, such images are myths because compact bathrooms are not necessarily
challenging. All you need is a professional expert for bathroom remodelling in Gurgaon who can
transform your ideas into real-life scenarios.
Tips to Add Style & Functionality to Your Small Bathroom
Planned Remodelling is Crucial
The first tip for bathroom designs for small spaces is to start with planning.
Get a measuring tape to
measure the space and get an idea of the layout.
Prioritize what you want - do you need to increase
the storage space, install more lights for increased lighting,
or add modern aesthetics to the space?
With a clear and precise plan, there are fewer chances
of confusion and discrepancies arising later.
