Categories     appetizer

Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 20

1-ounce dried porcini
5 1/2 cups mushroom stock, recipe follows, or vegetable stock
1 tablespoon butter, plus 2 tablespoons
2 tablespoons shallots, finely diced
1 1/2 cups aborio rice
1/2 cup dry red wine
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/2 to 1-ounce dried porcini, about 1/2 to 1 cup
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 carrots, diced
2 celery ribs, diced
1 cup chopped leek greens and leek roots, if available
2 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
4 sprigs thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried
Bouquet Garni that includes 10 sage leaves
2 teaspoons salt
9 cups water

Steps:

  • Soak the dried mushrooms in 1 cup warm water for 30 minutes, then lift them out and strain the liquid. Finely chop the mushrooms. Add the soaking liquid to the mushroom stock in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer.
  • Heat the butter in a wide soup pot, add the diced shallots, and cook over medium heat until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and wine and simmer until the wine is absorbed, stirring a few times, then add 2 cups stock, cover and cook at a lively simmer until it's absorbed. Begin adding the stock in 1/2 cup increments, stirring constantly until each addition is absorbed before adding the next. When the rice is cooked, stir in the parsley, cheese, and an additional 1 or 2 tablespoons of butter. Taste for salt and season with pepper.
  • Soak porcini in a bowl of warm water for 30 minutes. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a soup pot. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Saute over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is well browned, about 15 minutes. Scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen juices that have collected there. Add porcini, soaking liquid, remaining ingredients and 9 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer, partially covered, for 45 minutes. Strain.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup farro
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cups assorted wild mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, oyster, wood ear), cleaned and roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, finely diced
1/2 cup dry white wine
6 cups (1 1/2 quarts) low-sodium chicken stock, warmed
1/2 cup diced rehydrated sun-dried tomatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
1/2 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Place the farro in a large pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes to par-cook the farro, and then drain and set aside.
  • In a heavy-based pot, add the butter and oil. Add the mushrooms, garlic and shallots and saute until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Deglaze with the white wine. Add the drained farro and stir to combine. Add the chicken stock to the pot a little at a time, ensuring at each addition that the liquid has been completely absorbed by the farro. Keep stirring and adding the stock until the mixture is thick and creamy.
  • Add the sun-dried tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper, and then add the Parmesan, sour cream and parsley.

LOBSTER, SUN-DRIED TOMATO & WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO



LOBSTER, SUN-DRIED TOMATO & WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO image

Categories     Rice     Shellfish     Vegetarian

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup hot water
1/2 cup dried porchini mushrooms
1 small, sweet onion, finely diced
1/4 cup diced fennel
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil, drained and chopped
1/4 pound unsalted butter
7 cups fish stock*
1 cup chopped assorted wild mushrooms (oyster, crimini, shiitake, etc.)
1 cup Arborio rice (Italian short-grain)
1 cooked lobster tail, chopped into small pieces
2 ounces freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
1/4 cup chopped thyme
*can use chicken broth.

Steps:

  • In a 2-cup glass measuring cup, pour hot water over dried porcini mushrooms. Let sit 15 minutes to reconstitute. Remove plump mushrooms from water (saving water), dice and set aside. Strain "mushroom water" through a fine strainer or cheesecloth and set aside. In a large, heavy sauce pot, melt half of the butter and saute the onions, fennel and sun-dried tomatoes until the onions are almost golden brown. Add the rice and stir to coat the grains, then add the fresh mushrooms. Add the "mushroom water" and stir until it has been absorbed. Add 2 cups of the stock and simmer until absorbed. When the stock is absorbed, add 2 more cups, stirring constantly, until all the stock has been absorbed by the rice. When the rice is tender and all the stock has been used, add the porcini mushrooms, lobster, cheese, the remaining butter and the cream. Garnish the rice with the chopped herbs.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality vegetable broth for the best flavor. If you don't have vegetable broth, you can use water, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Soak the dried wild mushrooms in hot water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help to rehydrate them and bring out their flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms. If you do, they will steam instead of sautéing, and they won't have as much flavor.
  • Add the rice to the pan and stir it constantly. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
  • Add the wine to the pan and let it simmer for a few minutes. This will help to deglaze the pan and add flavor to the risotto.
  • Add the broth to the pan one cup at a time, stirring constantly. This will help to create a creamy and flavorful risotto.
  • Let the risotto simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and creamy. Stir it occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Once the risotto is cooked, stir in the butter, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. This will add richness and flavor to the risotto.
  • Serve the risotto immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley, if desired.

Conclusion:

Dried wild mushroom risotto is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a risotto that is both flavorful and satisfying.
