Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 pound mixed wild mushrooms, such as oyster, morels, shiitake, and hen-of-the-woods, trimmed, and halved, if large
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 rib celery (preferably from the heart), cut in half lengthwise
1 medium carrot, cut in half crosswise
1/2 small onion, peeled
1 clove garlic, smashed and peeled
1 sprig flat-leaf parsley leaves
3 1/2 cups homemade chicken stock or low-sodium canned chicken broth
3 1/2 cups water
1 small bay leaf
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 small onion, finely diced (about 1/3 cup)
1 cup farro
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

  • For mushrooms: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add half the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender, about 7 minutes. Season with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper and transfer to a bowl. Repeat for remaining mushrooms. Keep warm until ready to serve.
  • For stock: Combine stock ingredients in a 4-quart saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, about 8 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Reduce heat to the lowest setting to keep stock hot but not evaporating.
  • For risotto: In another 4-quart pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until onion is translucent, about 2 minutes. Add farro and cook, stirring, until just starting to turn translucent (farro will start making a clicking sound), 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat if onion begins to brown.
  • Pour wine into farro and onion mixture and cook, stirring, just until absorbed (farro should still be wet and glistening, not dry). Using a ladle, add 1/2 cup hot stock to the farro. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon, at a moderate speed, until about three-quarters of the liquid is absorbed (the mixture should be thick enough to hold a trail behind the spoon). Continue adding stock 1/2 cup at a time and stirring frequently until farro is tender but still firm to the bite and the liquid is creamy in consistency. As farro nears doneness, watch carefully and add smaller amounts of liquid to make sure it doesn't overcook (you may not need to use all the broth). The process should take 30 to 35 minutes total.
  • For finishing: Stir in butter until completely melted (this is called mounting), then stir in cheese and season with salt. Serve topped with mushrooms, parsley, and pepper, and serve immediately.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover mushrooms. I had some shiitake mushrooms that were starting to go bad, so I decided to make this risotto. It turned out really well! The mushrooms were tender and flavorful, and the risotto was creamy and

I was looking for a vegetarian risotto recipe and this one caught my eye. I'm so glad I tried it! The farro was a nice change from traditional arborio rice and the mushrooms added a lot of flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
