GOURMET MUSHROOM RISOTTO



Gourmet Mushroom Risotto image

Authentic Italian-style risotto cooked the slow and painful way, but oh so worth it. Complements grilled meats and chicken dishes very well. Check the rice by biting into it. It should be slightly al dente (or resist slightly to the tooth but not be hard in the center).

A surprising main dish with the sharp taste of apples and cheese. The first time that I was served this by my dear friend, Claire, I couldn't get enough. I begged for the recipe, made it the next evening, and feel NO guilt over eating it all! Served with steamed asparagus and a nice crisp white wine, it is the perfect meal for friends and family.

Tips:

  • Use a medium-grain rice like Arborio or Carnaroli for a creamy risotto.
  • Toast the rice in a little olive oil or butter before adding the liquid. This will help the rice absorb the flavors and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Add the liquid to the rice gradually, stirring constantly. This will help the rice cook evenly and prevent it from clumping.
  • Season the risotto to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or saffron.
  • Stir in grated cheese and butter just before serving. This will make the risotto rich and creamy.
  • Serve the risotto immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or grated cheese.
