Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information.

Chianti, Verdicchio, and Trebbiano are my top picks for Risotto. Italians know food and they know wine. Trebbiano and Verdicchio are Italian white wines that pair well with fish and white meat, while Chianti is a great Italian red for heavier, bolder dishes. The Castellare Chianti Classico Riservan Il Poggiale with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 34 dollars per bottle.

Castellare Chianti Classico Riserva Il Poggiale

Made from 90% Sangioveto, 5% Canaiolo, and 5% Ciliegiolo grown in the Il Poggiale vineyard, the grapes come from an elevation of almost 1,500 feet above sea level. The combination of high elevation and extremely low yields results in a wine thatmanages to simultaneously show both restraint and layered richness. This classic red holds great aging capability.This Riserva is a brilliant garnet color with layered aromas of red cherries, earth, rose flowers, and leather. On the palate, the wine shows excellent structure with firm, integrated tannins and is full-bodied with plenty of spice.

Instructions

In a 4 quart saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium high heat. When oil is shimmering, add diced onion. Saute onion until transparent. Add quinoa to onion mixture and stir, to toast quinoa, for 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of vegetable stock to quinoa and onions. Stir until stock is absorbed. Once stock is absorbed, add 1 cup of stock. Continue stirring until stock is absorbed. Add remaining stock in 1/2 cup intervals, stirring until all stock is absorbed. Remove from heat. While preparing the onion quinoa mixture, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a saute pan with chopped garlic (over medium high heat). Once garlic is sizzling, add chopped kale to the pan. Turn kale to coat with oil and garlic. Turn kale mixture until fragrant (approximately 2 minutes). Remove kale mixture from heat. Once quinoa is complete, add kale and salmon. Stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.
