Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 quart (950ml) homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock or vegetable stock
1 ounce (30g) dried porcini mushrooms (optional)
4 tablespoons (60ml) extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons (50g) unsalted butter
1 1/2 pounds (700g) mixed mushrooms, such as shiitake, cremini, oyster, and chanterelle, trimmed and thinly sliced, stems reserved
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped (about 6 ounces; 170g)
2 medium cloves garlic, finely minced
1 1/2 cups (about 300g) risotto rice, such as arborio or vialone nano
2 teaspoons (10ml) soy sauce
1 tablespoon (15ml) light miso paste
3/4 cup (175ml) dry white wine
1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream (optional; see note)
1 ounce (30g) finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for serving
Handful finely minced mixed fresh herbs, such as parsley, chervil, tarragon, and/or chives

Steps:

  • Place chicken stock and dried mushrooms (if using) in a microwave-safe container and microwave on high power until simmering, about 5 minutes. Remove from microwave. Using a slotted spoon, transfer porcini to a cutting board and roughly chop. Add fresh mushroom scraps to container with porcini-infused stock and set aside. Alternatively, heat stock and dried mushrooms (if using) in a small saucepan until simmering, then remove from heat, transfer porcini to a cutting board and roughly chop; add fresh mushroom scraps to saucepan and set aside to infuse.
  • Heat olive oil and butter in the base of a pressure cooker over high heat, swirling, until foaming subsides. Add fresh mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until excess moisture has evaporated and mushrooms are well browned, about 8 minutes.
  • Add onion, garlic, and chopped porcini (if using) and cook, stirring frequently, until onions are softened and aromatic, about 4 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, until rice is evenly coated in oil and toasted but not browned, 3 to 4 minutes. (Rice grains should start to look like tiny ice cubes: translucent around the edges and cloudy in the center.) Stir in soy sauce and miso paste until evenly incorporated.
  • Add wine and cook, stirring, until raw alcohol smell has cooked off and wine has almost fully evaporated, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour stock into pot through a fine-mesh strainer, discarding mushroom stems. Scrape any grains of rice or pieces of onion from side of pressure cooker so that they are fully submerged. Close pressure cooker and bring up to low pressure (10 psi on most units). Cook at low pressure for 5 minutes, then depressurize cooker, either by running it under cold water if it is not electric or using the steam-release valve if it is electric.
  • Open pressure cooker and stir to combine rice and cooking liquid; a creamy consistency should begin to develop. Stir in cream (if using), cheese, and herbs. If risotto is too soupy, cook for a few minutes longer, stirring, until it begins to thicken more. If it is too thick, stir in some hot water. It should flow slowly when you drag a trail through it with a spoon. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately on hot plates, passing extra cheese at the table.

MUSHROOM RISOTTO



Mushroom risotto image

Barney guides you through a step-by-step guide to making a mushroom risotto - you might even find it relaxing!

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Starter, Supper

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

50g dried porcini mushrooms
1 vegetable stock cube
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
250g pack chestnut mushrooms, chopped
300g risotto rice, such as arborio
1 x 175ml glass white wine
25g butter
handful parsley leaves, chopped
50g parmesan or Grana Padano, freshly grated

Steps:

  • Put 50g dried porcini mushrooms into a large bowl and pour over 1 litre boiling water. Soak for 20 mins, then drain into a bowl, discarding the last few tbsp of liquid left in the bowl.
  • Crumble 1 vegetable stock cube into the mushroom liquid, then squeeze the mushrooms gently to remove any liquid.
  • Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a shallow saucepan or deep frying pan over a medium flame. Add 1 finely chopped onion and 2 finely chopped garlic cloves, then fry for about 5 mins until soft.
  • Stir in 250g chopped chestnut mushrooms and the dried mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and continue to cook for 8 mins until the fresh mushrooms have softened.
  • Tip 300g risotto rice into the pan and cook for 1 min. Pour over a 175ml glass of white wine and let it bubble to nothing so the alcohol evaporates.
  • Keep the pan over a medium heat and pour in a quarter of the mushroom stock. Simmer the rice, stirring often, until the rice has absorbed all the liquid.
  • Add about the same amount of stock again and continue to simmer and stir - it should start to become creamy, plump and tender. By the time the final quarter of stock is added, the rice should be almost cooked.
  • Continue stirring until the rice is cooked. If the rice is still undercooked, add a splash of water. Take the pan off the heat, add 25g butter and scatter over 25g grated parmesan or Grana Padano cheese and half a handful of chopped parsley leaves.
  • Cover and leave for a few mins so that the rice can take up any excess liquid as it cools a bit. Give the risotto a final stir, spoon into bowls and scatter with the remaining 25g grated cheese and the remaining chopped parsley leaves.

MUSHROOM RISOTTO WITH PEAS



Mushroom Risotto With Peas image

If you are ever at a loss for what to make for an impromptu dinner party, especially if there will be vegetarians at the table, consider this luxurious mushroom risotto. I added peas because I wanted to introduce some color, and also because the sweetness of the peas fits right in with the flavors of this dish. But this satisfying, elegant dish is fine without peas, too. You'll get a vibrant dash of green from the parsley added at the end of cooking.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 to 7 cups chicken, vegetable or garlic broth or stock, as needed
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion, or 2 shallots, minced
3/4 to 1 pound wild mushrooms, cleaned if necessary and torn or sliced into smaller pieces if thick (small wild mushrooms should be left whole, mushrooms like maitake can just be separated into small pieces)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves or chopped sage
1 1/2 cups arborio or carnaroli rice
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc
1 cup frozen peas, thawed (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or a mixture of Parmesan and Pecorino Romano

Steps:

  • Bring stock or broth to a simmer in a saucepan, with a ladle nearby. Make sure stock is well seasoned, and keep it simmering on the stove.
  • Heat oil in a wide, heavy nonstick skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add onions or shallots and cook gently until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Turn up heat and add mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until they begin to sweat, about 3 minutes, then add garlic and thyme or sage. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper and continue to cook over medium heat until they are soft. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Add rice and stir until grains begin to crackle. Add wine and cook, stirring, until wine is no longer visible in pan. Stir in enough simmering stock to just cover the rice. The stock should bubble slowly. Cook, stirring often and vigorously, until stock is just about absorbed. Add another ladleful or two of stock and continue cooking, not too fast and not too slowly, stirring often and adding more stock when rice is almost dry, for 15 minutes.
  • Add peas, if using, and continue adding stock and stirring for another 10 minutes. Rice should be tender all the way through but still al dente. Taste now and adjust seasoning.
  • Add another ladleful or two of stock to rice. Stir in parsley and Parmesan, and remove from heat. Season with black pepper and serve right away in wide soup bowls or on plates.

TRUE ITALIAN PORCINI MUSHROOM RISOTTO



True Italian Porcini Mushroom Risotto image

As classically Italian as you can get, this unadulterated risotto is made in the traditional way and simply flavored with porcini mushrooms, white wine, butter and Parmesan cheese.

Provided by miche

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Rice     Risotto Recipes

Time 1h57m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
1 cup hot water
1 (32 ounce) carton beef stock
¼ cup olive oil, divided
3 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup white wine, divided
¼ cup butter, divided
1 shallot, chopped
1 ¾ cups Arborio rice
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Place porcini mushrooms in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let soak until soft, about 1 hour. Drain, reserving soaking liquid. Squeeze mushrooms to remove excess water and roughly chop.
  • Bring beef stock to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to low and cover to keep warm.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic cloves; cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook and stir until soft, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with rosemary, salt, and pepper. Discard garlic cloves; pour in 1/2 cup wine. Increase heat to medium-high and simmer until wine reduces, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil with 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir shallot until soft, about 3 minutes. Cook and stir Arborio rice until toasted and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Pour in remaining 1/2 cup wine. Simmer until wine is absorbed, about 3 minutes.
  • Ladle 1/3 of the warm stock into the saucepan; cook and stir until absorbed. Ladle in remaining stock and reserved soaking liquid in small amounts and cook, stirring constantly, until risotto is tender and creamy, 15 to 18 minutes.
  • Remove risotto from the heat; stir in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and Parmesan cheese. Let stand for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the risotto will be. Look for fresh, flavorful mushrooms, and use a good-quality stock.
  • Toast the rice before cooking. This helps to develop the flavor of the rice and prevents it from becoming mushy.
  • Add the liquid gradually. Don't add all of the liquid at once, or the risotto will become too soupy. Add it in small increments, stirring constantly, until the rice is cooked through.
  • Stir the risotto constantly. This helps to prevent the rice from sticking to the pot and ensures that it cooks evenly.
  • Season the risotto to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add grated Parmesan cheese or other garnishes.

Conclusion:

Pressure cooker porcini risotto is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The pressure cooker cooks the rice quickly and evenly, and the porcini mushrooms add a rich, earthy flavor. This risotto is sure to impress your guests!
