PORCINI AND PARMESAN RISOTTO

We found risotto only needs occasional stirring to cook up creamy; adding broth in large batches cuts down on fuss. Cook the rice until al dente -- you don't want it too soft.

PORCINI AND PARMESAN RISOTTO



Porcini and Parmesan Risotto image

I've never made risotto, and usually don't order it when I'm in a restaurant because I always try to eat protein and veggies as opposed to a plate of carbs like pasta or rice. However, I was CRAVING carbs and decided to venture into the unknown world of risotto making. I've heard it's not difficult to make, just time consuming...

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

14 1/2 oz chicken broth
1/2 oz dried porcini mushrooms, rinsed (i used a bag of dried mixed mushrooms with porcini, morels, chanterelles, etc - it was all i could find)
3 Tbsp butter
8 oz mixed, fresh mushrooms such as cremini, shiitake (stems removed) and oyster, all cut into 1/2 inch pieces (i used only cremini - again, it was all i could find).
salt and pepper
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1 c arborio rice (this is the only kind of rice to be used for risotto..any other will not have the same result)
1/2 c dry white wine
1/2 c grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium saucepan, combine broth, dried mushrooms and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil; cook until mushrooms are tender, about 1 minute. With a slotted spoon remove mushrooms; coarsely chop.

  • 2. In a large saucepan, heat 1 TBL butter over medium-high heat. Add fresh mushrooms and chopped mushrooms; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until tender, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate, set aside.
  • 3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add onion and 1 TBL butter to saucepan. (At this point I also added the finely chopped shallot). Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally 3-5 minutes. Add rice, and cook stirring, about 1 minute. Add wine, and cook, stirring, until absorbed, 1 minute.
  • 4. Add 2 C of warm broth to rice mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, until absorbed, 4-5 minutes. Continue to add broth, by cupfuls (I just used a ladle) stirring occasionally and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more, until rice is al dente, about 25 minutes total (you may not need all the broth).
  • 5. Remove risotto from heat. Stir in Parmesan, remaining TBL butter, and half the sauteed mushrooms; season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with remaining mushrooms, and serve immediately, garnished with more Parmesan.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the porcini mushrooms and Parmesan cheese. Freshly grated Parmesan will provide the best flavor.
  • Soak the porcini mushrooms in hot water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will soften them and release their flavor.
  • Toast the rice in a little butter before adding the liquid. This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Add the liquid to the rice gradually, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking together and becoming clumpy.
  • Cook the risotto until it is al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. It should not be mushy.
  • Stir in the porcini mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, and butter just before serving. This will help to create a creamy, flavorful sauce.
  • Garnish the risotto with additional Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, or a drizzle of olive oil before serving.

Conclusion:

This porcini and Parmesan risotto is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make, but it looks and tastes like it came from a Michelin-starred restaurant.
