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).

PORTABELLO MUSHROOM AND PEPPER RISOTTO



Portabello Mushroom and Pepper Risotto image

I haven't seen any recipes with bell peppers in it, so I decided to try this on my own. Had a 6-person dinner party that I served with some bone-in pork chops. I first thought I made too much, but all of my guests were upset that there wasn't more. Hope you like it.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
4 large portobello mushroom caps, cut into 1/2-inch slices
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups Arborio rice
¾ cup dry white wine
6 cups chicken stock, or more if needed
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook onion in hot oil until softened, about 3 minutes. Add bell pepper and portobello mushrooms to the skillet, season with kosher salt and pepper, and continue cooking another 10 minutes.
  • Stir Arborio rice into the mushroom mixture. Pour white wine into the skillet; cook and stir until the wine is warmed. Add chicken stock 1 1/2 cups at a time, stirring continually to allow each addition to absorb into the rice before adding the next, until all stock is integrated, 20 to 30 minutes. Stir heavy cream into the rice mixture; cook about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from heat and stir Parmesan cheese into the risotto. Let sit 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use Arborio or Carnaroli rice. These short-grain varieties are best for risotto because they absorb the cooking liquid and release starch, creating a creamy texture.
  • Toast the rice before adding the liquid. This helps to develop the rice's flavor and prevent it from becoming gummy.
  • Add the liquid gradually, stirring constantly. This allows the rice to absorb the liquid evenly and prevents it from becoming clumpy.
  • Cook the risotto until it is al dente. The rice should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Stir in the cheese and butter just before serving. This will create a creamy, flavorful sauce.
  • Serve the risotto immediately. It is best enjoyed fresh.

Conclusion:

Portabello mushroom and pepper risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture, savory flavors, and hearty ingredients, this risotto is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
