    • Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and stir well.
    • Deglaze with the white wine and allow it to evaporate.
    • Start adding the hot broth, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously. Add more broth only when the previous ladleful has been absorbed.
    • Cook the risotto for about 16-18 minutes, stirring often.
  3. Prepare the parsley green sauce: 
    • In a blender, finely blend the parsley with the capers, an anchovy fillet, and a teaspoon of its preserved oil.
    • Gradually add white vinegar and extra virgin olive oil until a creamy and smooth sauce is achieved.
    • Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Finish the risotto: 
    • Once the risotto is cooked, turn off the heat and add the butter and grated Parmesan.
    • Stir vigorously to incorporate and let the risotto rest, covered, for a couple of minutes.
  5. Plating: 
    • Divide the risotto evenly onto plates. Top each serving with thin shavings of white truffle.
    • Place two truffle-infused anchovy fillets on each plate.
    • Finish with a few drops of the parsley green sauce for an elegant touch.
