Apple Risotto is a dish made by Sōma Yukihira during his 490th cooking duel against his father, Jōichirō Yukihira.
Description[]
With the challenge to create a breakfast dish to rejuvenate the eater, Sōma improvised this dish to revitalize Satoshi Isshiki, Fumio Daimidō, and Megumi Tadokoro. The risotto emits a refreshing aroma that's both sweet and tart. The diced apples give a crispy texture and a mellow sweetness, and the simmered onions give a silky texture to the risotto. The crunchy bacon accents the mellow apple flavor. Adding a sprinkle of black pepper will contrast the sweetness with an earthy flavor. As a secret technique, Sōma uses apple juice to enhance the apple flavor without having to cook the apple chunks, resulting in still crispy apple bits.
