Procedure
To prepare the tartare
Cut the tuna into small cubes and season with salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon.
To prepare the fish stock
Sauté previously diced vegetables in a pan with garlic, parsley and extra virgin olive oil. Add the carcasses, douse with white wine and allow to evaporate. Add 1 1/2 liters of water and bring to a boil. Let simmer for half an hour and strain.
To prepare the arugula sauce
Blanch washed arugula in 5 dl of milk. Mix it in a blender with the fish stock and previously cooked potato. Correct the taste with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, salt and a little pepper. Strain through a sieve and blend again.
To prepare the chicken broth
Dice the chicken giblets and slowly brown them in a pan with extra-virgin olive oil, but without giving them color. Add the onion, celery, carrots, and mushrooms and continue browning over low heat. Wet with white wine, let it evaporate, cover the vegetables and offal with water and bring to a boil. Add the bay leaf, rosemary, and peppercorns and simmer for 1 hour. Remove the fat and foam that will form on the surface during cooking so that the bottom is clear. Strain the broth through a clean tea towel.
To prepare the tomato consommé
Blend the chicken meat with the cherry tomatoes and egg whites. Pour in the chicken broth, stir everything together and bring to a boil. Skim off the foam that will form as so that the bottom is clear.
To prepare the risotto
Toast the rice in a pan with a knob of butter, douse with the white wine and let it evaporate. Add the hot tomato consommé a little at a time, stirring constantly. When the rice is cooked al dente, stir in the grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Stir and finish cooking, adding salt if necessary.
