Roasted-Garlic Risotto with Mushrooms image

Roasted-garlic puree enriches this earthy mushroom risotto. The puree is introduced at the start of the recipe, in the stock, and returns at the end for a final flourish. (You might not need to use all of the stock.) Just-right risotto should be creamy--not too soupy, and not too dry.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 quarts homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock, skimmed of fat
Roasted-Garlic Puree, 1/4 cup
12 ounces assorted mushrooms, such as chanterelle, cremini, and portobello
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 cup Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring stock to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low; whisk in 1 tablespoon garlic puree, and continue to simmer.
  • Remove stems from mushrooms, and finely chop. Cut mushroom caps into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add caps, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 5 to 7 minutes; transfer to a bowl.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon butter to pan. Add shallots and mushroom stems, and cook, stirring, until shallots are soft, about 2 minutes. Add rice; cook, stirring, until coated with oil and butter, 3 to 4 minutes. Add wine; stir until completely absorbed.
  • Stirring constantly, add 3/4 cup simmering stock at a time, letting rice absorb each addition before adding the next. Continue to add stock until rice is creamy but al dente, 17 to 20 minutes.
  • Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons garlic puree and 4 tablespoons butter, along with the cheese, chives, and reserved cooked mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish risotto with additional cheese and chives.

I didn't have any mushrooms on hand, so I used a cup of chopped zucchini instead. It turned out great! The zucchini added a nice sweetness to the risotto.

This risotto was a disaster! It was too salty, too mushy, and it had a weird aftertaste. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I'm not going to try this recipe again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my risotto turned out mushy. I think I added too much liquid. I'll definitely try this recipe again, but I'll be more careful with the amount of liquid I add.

The risotto was good, but I think it could have been better if I had used a different type of rice. I used arborio rice, but I think a carnaroli rice would have been a better choice.

I found this risotto to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more garlic and mushrooms. I also added a bit of white wine to the broth, which helped to brighten up the flavor.

This risotto was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I added too much Parmesan cheese. Next time I'll use less cheese and see how it turns out.

I love the simplicity of this recipe. It's just a few ingredients, but they come together to create a really delicious dish. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables and it was a perfect meal.

This risotto is a great way to use up leftover rice. I had some cooked brown rice in the fridge and it worked perfectly. The risotto was creamy and flavorful. I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and they added a nice pop of color and flavor.

This risotto was delicious! I used cremini mushrooms and they were perfect. The roasted garlic added a nice touch of sweetness. I served it with a side of grilled chicken and it was a perfect meal.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a fan of mushrooms. But I'm so glad I did! The mushrooms added a lovely umami flavor to the risotto. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not usually a fan of risotto, but this recipe changed my mind. The combination of roasted garlic, mushrooms, and Parmesan cheese was divine. I loved the creamy texture and the subtle garlicky flavor. Highly recommend!
