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).

Steps:
- In a saucepan, warm the broth over low heat.
- Warm 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the mushrooms, and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Remove mushrooms and their liquid, and set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to skillet, and stir in the shallots. Cook 1 minute. Add rice, stirring to coat with oil, about 2 minutes. When the rice has taken on a pale, golden color, pour in wine, stirring constantly until the wine is fully absorbed. Add 1/2 cup broth to the rice, and stir until the broth is absorbed. Continue adding broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring continuously, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is al dente, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat, and stir in mushrooms with their liquid, butter, chives, and parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:
- Sauté the onion in half of the butter until it is translucent.
- Add the mushrooms and cook 2-3 minutes.
- Add the rice and cook,while stirring, until the rice gets shiny and translucent around the edges.
- Add a ladle of bouillon and cook until it is absorbed.
- Add the safron.
- Continue adding the bouillon (one ladle at a time and cooking until absorbed) until the rice is cooked and all the bouillon is absorbed.
- Add the remaining butter and parmesan, stir.
- Serve topped with chopped parsley.
Tips:
- Use the right rice: Arborio or Carnaroli rice are the best choices for risotto, as they absorb liquid well and hold their shape.
- Toast the rice: This helps to release the starch and create a creamy texture.
- Add liquid gradually: Add the liquid in small increments, stirring constantly. This will help the rice to absorb the liquid evenly and prevent it from becoming too mushy.
- Cook the risotto until it is al dente: The rice should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
- Stir in your desired ingredients: Once the risotto is cooked, stir in your desired ingredients, such as vegetables, meat, or seafood. Avoid overcrowding the risotto, you don’t want to dilute the flavor.
- Finish with butter and cheese: Butter and cheese are essential for creating a creamy and flavorful risotto. Stir them in just before serving.
- Serve immediately: Risotto is best served immediately, as it will start to lose its creaminess as it cools.
