The rice needs to be al dente. Add cream and parmesan to finish. Stir the mushrooms and spinach into the risotto. Stew the cabbage in butter.
Duck Breast
Fry the duck breast on the skin side until it is crispy. Then cook from the other side at reduced heat so that the meat is still pink. Allow to rest for five minutes before slicing.
Arrange the cabbage on a plate and shape the risotto using a round form. Cut the duck breast into chunks and place on the risotto. Red wine sauce can be poured onto the meat.
