Steps:
- Start by thoroughly rinsing the dried mushrooms, to get rid of any grit.
- Place the mushrooms in a bowl and cover them with water, gently pushing them so they are submerged. Let them soak for 1 hour or until they are soft.
- Remove the mushrooms from the liquid , squeezing them lightly to remove any excess water, and transfer them to a chopping board. Roughly chop the mushrooms into smaller pieces. Reserve.
- Place a strainer over a saucepan, line with paper towel and pour the soaking water, allowing the mushroom water to drain through. Discard the paper towels. Add the beef broth to the mushroom water and bring it to the stove, over medium heat, until it starts to boil. Then, lower the heat and keep it simmering until ready to use.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet, over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the rice and stir for about a minute, until it is well coated and opaque. Then, add the porcini mushrooms and stir to combine. Stir in the wine and cook until it is nearly all evaporated.
- Start adding the broth, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly, until the rice has absorbed almost all the liquid before adding the next one. Repeat until the rice is cooked al dente. (You might not need all the broth.)
- When the rice is al dente, add a little more liquid to keep the risotto moist and then remove it from the stove. Add the butter and the parmesan cheese and mix vigorously, being careful not to break the grains and mushrooms.
- Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately!

GOURMET MUSHROOM RISOTTO
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).

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your risotto. Choose the best porcini mushrooms you can find, and use a flavorful broth.
- Toast the rice before cooking. This step helps to develop the rice's flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Add the liquid gradually. Don't dump all of the liquid into the rice at once. Add it in small increments, stirring constantly, so that the rice can absorb the liquid slowly and evenly.
- Stir the risotto frequently. This helps to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
- Cook the risotto until it is al dente. The rice should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
- Stir in the butter and cheese at the end. This will help to create a creamy, flavorful sauce.
- Serve the risotto immediately. Risotto is best enjoyed fresh out of the pot.
Conclusion:
Risotto ai funghi porcini is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover rice, and it can also be made with other types of mushrooms, such as cremini or shiitake. With a little practice, you can make a perfect risotto every time.
