Creamy Mushroom Risotto with Rosemary Grilled Pork Tenderloin image

Provided by Dave Lieberman

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h28m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (1 1/2 to 2-pound) pork tenderloin
Olive oil
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 or 2 sprigs fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped, plus a few sprigs for garnish
1-ounce dried mushrooms
1 cup boiling water
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, minced
1 cup Arborio rice
1 cup chicken stock, heated
1/2 cup dry white wine
Few pinches salt
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup grated pecorino romano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Tenderloin:
  • Rub tenderloin with oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate for an hour or 2 in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat a couple tablespoons of olive oil in an oven-safe saute pan over high heat. Sear tenderloin on all sides until nicely colored all over. Transfer pan to oven and roast for 10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before thinly slicing on the bias. Serve with the risotto and garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary.
  • Risotto:
  • Place mushrooms in a bowl and pour boiling water over them; cover and let sit 10 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and sweat until they start to turn translucent in color, just a couple minutes. Add rice and stir around until all the grains are covered with oil. To the rice, add the stock and wine. Remove the mushrooms from their liquid, reserving the liquid, and chop them roughly. Add the mushrooms with their liquid to the pot. Add salt, raise heat to medium-high, and bring to a simmer. Stir well, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring once more after 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the butter, pecorino, and parsley. Serve with sliced tenderloin.

LYDIA BASTIANICH'S CREAMY MUSHROOM RISOTTO RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Lydia Bastianich's Creamy Mushroom Risotto Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by Lonnie

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 1/2 cups hot chicken or vegetable stock
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup minced onion
2 tablespoons minced shallots
12 ounces fresh porcini mushrooms, thickly sliced (or sub shiitake or other mushrooms)
2 cups arborio or carnaroli rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into bits, at room temperature
1/2 cup freshly grated Grana Padano
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Bring the stock to a bare simmer in a medium saucepan. Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium Dutch oven or large straight-sided skillet, and sauté the onion and shallots until golden. Add the mushrooms, and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove mushrooms and set aside. To the same pan, add the remaining olive oil and the rice. Cook and stir to coat the rice with oil, until toasted but not colored, about 3 minutes. Pour in the wine, and cook until evaporated, about 2 minutes. 2. Add ½ cup of the hot stock and the salt. (This step varies from Lidia's prep with me, where she salted each ingredient separately.) Cook, stirring constantly, until all the liquid has been absorbed. Continue to add hot stock in small batches (just enough to moisten the rice completely), stirring constantly to help absorb the liquid, until the rice mixture is creamy and al dente. With the last addition of the stock, return the mushrooms to the pot, and stir and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the risotto from the heat, beat in the butter and then the cheese, season with pepper to taste, and serve immediately. 3. Porcini is the ideal mushroom for this recipe, but any mushroom or mixture of mushrooms will yield a delicious risotto.

CREAMY CORN-MUSHROOM RISOTTO RECIPE



Creamy Corn-Mushroom risotto Recipe image

Provided by á-1569

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 1/2 cups water
2 cups fresh corn kernels (from 5 ears), divided
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh mushrooms
1 cup chopped yellow onion
1 cup uncooked Arborio rice
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, divided
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated (about 1/2 cup) and divided
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
5/8 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts

Steps:

  • Step 1 Process 4 1/2 cups water and 1 cup corn in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a large measuring cup; discard solids. Add water, if necessary, to equal 4 1/2 cups. Transfer to a saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium-high. Reduce heat to low. Step 2 Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high. Add mushrooms, onion, and remaining 1 cup corn. Cook, stirring often, until onions are translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add rice, garlic, and 2 teaspoons thyme. Cook, stirring constantly, until rice is toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add wine; bring to a boil, and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is almost evaporated. Step 3 Stir in 2 cups corn broth; reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring often, until broth is almost absorbed, about 10 minutes. Add 1 cup corn broth, and cook, stirring often, 5 minutes. Repeat with 1 cup corn broth. Remove from heat. Stir in 1/4 cup cheese, butter, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup corn broth. Divide among 4 bowls; top evenly with pine nuts, remaining 2 teaspoons thyme, and remaining 1/4 cup cheese.

Tips:

  • Use the right type of rice: Arborio or Carnaroli rice are the best choices for risotto as they hold their shape well and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Toast the rice: This helps to release the starch in the rice and gives it a nutty flavor.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is a key ingredient in risotto and it should be flavorful and of good quality.
  • Cook the risotto slowly and stir frequently: This helps to prevent the rice from sticking to the pot and allows it to absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Add the cheese and butter at the end: This helps to create a creamy and smooth risotto.
  • Serve the risotto immediately: Risotto is best served as soon as it is cooked, as it will start to lose its creamy texture if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This creamy mushroom risotto is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and tender mushrooms, this risotto is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give this creamy mushroom risotto a try.
