Powdery mildew or white sickness is a cryptogamic disease, that is of fungal origin, which can affect sage plants and occurs on the leaves. This is the most frequent pathology among those that can affect this aromatic herb and occurs in particular with mild temperatures and high humidity. It is a very simple disease to identify: because the white patches that are seen on the leaves of the sage are very characteristic. A reader of Orto Da Coltivare, Barbara, asks me exactly what her plant can have, describing the symptoms of powdery mildew. I answer publicly because I think it may be useful for many to know how to defend themselves from this problem with natural methods and above all how to prevent it. Recognizing powdery mildew on sage Those who cultivate the vegetable garden will already know powdery mildew because it is a frequent pathology also on other cultivated plants, in particular on pumpkin and courgette.

How to prepare leek and saffron risotto
Prepare the vegetable broth: clean the smells and transfer them to a small saucepan (1); cover with cold water, add salt and cook for about 30 minutes.
Clean the leeks, wash them thoroughly under cold running water and cut them into thin slices (2). Keep some aside for the final garnish.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a saucepan, add the leeks and a ladle of broth (3) and cook until they are very soft.
Remove the leeks from the pan, put it back on the heat and add the rice; toast it well, then add the white wine (4).
Blend the leeks until you get a smooth and thick cream. Add it to the rice (5) and cook, pouring the hot vegetable broth as it is absorbed: it will take about 15 minutes.
Halfway through cooking, add the saffron (6) and mix well.
Meanwhile, heat the seed oil in a pan and fry the leek strips kept aside. When they are golden and crunchy, drain them (7) and let them dry on absorbent kitchen paper.
As soon as the rice is cooked, turn off the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese (8). Season with salt if necessary.
Distribute the risotto with leeks on individual plates, garnish with a few strips of fried leek and serve (9).
Advice
To obtain an impeccable risotto with leeks, the advice is to use a Carnaroli variety of rice; alternatively, you can use the Arborio or the Vialone nano.
You can choose to prepare the risotto leaving the slices of leek whole or, as suggested in the recipe, to blend them in a kitchen mixer: in this case, the final result will be more silky and creamy.
If you want to obtain an even more enveloping creaming, in addition to the grated Parmesan, add a knob of butter. If, on the other hand, you don’t want to add more fat to the preparation, try a spoonful of robiola or ricotta.
To give a touch of pleasant crunchiness, the suggestion is to serve it with strips of leeks just fried in boiling oil; you can also add toasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped with a knife, or sliced almonds, lightly browned in a non-stick pan.
storage
Risotto with leeks and saffron can be stored in an airtight container for 1-2 days in the refrigerator.
