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.

  • 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.

RISOTTO AI FUNGHI



Risotto ai funghi image

A rich and creamy risotto that is flavoured with a mixture of fresh mushrooms and dried porcini, seasoned with Parmigiano Reggiano

Number Of Ingredients 10

300g fresh mushrooms - Oysters, Chanterelles, Girolles
100g butter
400g risotto rice (Carnaroli or Vialone Nano)
1 white small onion, finely diced
150 ml white wine
2.5 litres water
60g dried porcini added to the water
150g Parmigiano Reggiano (grated)
2 tbsp finely chopped parsley
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Bring the water to boil, then add the dried porcini, leave to simmer for 20 minutes, add the porcini stock cube but just at the last minute because as the stock reduces down it becomes saltier so be careful.
  • Choose your favourite mushrooms, I like to use, girolles, chanterelles a few oysters and shitake but it very much depends on what mushrooms are available and are fresh. A selection of wild and cultivated works well. Brush the excess dirt off but please do not wash them, then remove the woody stalks. Now tear them with your hands. Mushrooms need to be handled as little as possibleIn a wide shallow pan melt 1 tbls of butter and a bit of oil - this will prevent the butter from browning.Add the prepared mushrooms and fry until golden brown. Try not to move them too much otherwise they will steam rather then take on a nice colour. After a minute add some very finely chopped garlic, continue to cook. Season them. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and set aside.
  • Using the same pan (do not clean or wipe out) add in another generous tbls of butter and oil, allow to melt but do not brown, add in the finely diced onion and sweat (do not brown).Add in the rice and coat the rice in the onion and butter mix, do not allow the rice to brown. This is a quick process that should not take more then 30 to 40 seconds.Add in the white wine and let it evaporate.Your porcini stock should be already boiling.Add one large ladle of the boiling porcini stock to your rice and stir immediately until the rice has been absorbed. After about 10 minutes of cooking the cooked mushrooms and continue to add in the stock until the rice is just al dente (this should take about 18 minutes). Your risotto should be soft and creamy now.
  • When the rice still has a very small pearl of starch in the middle remove from the heat and add one last ladle of stock stir, then add the cheese, finely chopped parsley, stir, then add a small quantity of chilled butter.Now stir the risotto vigorously with one hand while you shake your pan with the other until you obtain an incredibly creamy risotto. Taste it and add salt if necessary (you may not need it as the cheese is already salty).Leave to stand for 30 seconds and serve topped with extra grated Parmigiano Reggiano.

MUSHROOM RISOTTO



Mushroom Risotto image

The flavors of dried and fresh mushrooms carry through in this proper Italian risotto, made from plump Arborio rice, which absorbs plenty of mushroom stock until it's meltingly tender on the outside but still sturdy within.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains     Rice Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 quarts water
1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 stick unsalted butter
8 ounces mixed fresh mushrooms, such as porcini, chanterelle, and oyster, sliced if large
1 medium onion, finely chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups Arborio or Carnaroli rice
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Garnish: shaved Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring water, dried porcini mushrooms, and peppercorns to a boil in a medium pot. Reduce heat, and simmer gently for 1 hour. Strain stock (you should have 7 to 8 cups); discard solids. Return to pot; cover to keep warm.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook mixed mushrooms until tender and slightly browned all over, about 3 minutes; transfer to a plate.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Stir in rice, and cook until coated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add wine, and cook until almost completely absorbed, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Ladle 1 cup reserved stock over rice, and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until almost completely absorbed. Continue adding stock, 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly and waiting for each addition to be almost completely absorbed before adding the next, until grains are al dente but not crunchy, about 30 minutes. (You'll probably only use 6 to 7 cups stock. Add remaining stock to loosen the risotto, if desired.)
  • Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the grated Parmesan. Top risotto with sauteed mushrooms (reheat if necessary), and garnish with shaved Parmesan.

RISOTTO AI FUNGHI



RISOTTO AI FUNGHI image

Categories     Mushroom

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 15

80ml olive oil
4 garlic cloves, finely sliced
350g field, Swiss brown and king brown mushrooms,
sliced (or your favourite mix)
1 Tbsp dried porcini mushrooms, soaked (optional) 1/2 bunch parsley, chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1.8L chicken stock
100ml extra virgin olive oil
1 brown onion, finely diced
Extra 2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
1 bay leaf
500g arborio rice
200ml white wine
80g butter, diced
80g finely grated parmesan

Steps:

  • 1 Heat oil in a large pan. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes, then stir in mushrooms and cook until they begin to brown. Add parsley and cook for another 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. 2 Bring chicken stock to a simmer in a small heavy-based pan. 3 Heat extra virgin olive oil in a wide-based pan over a medium heat. Add onion, extra garlic and bay leaf. Cook until onion is translucent. Add rice and stir to coat every grain in oil. 4 Add wine to rice and stir with a wooden spoon until fully absorbed. Add half the stock, a ladle at a time, stirring until absorbed. Add mushroom and all juices to rice. Continue adding stock, a ladle at a time. Cook for a further 10-12 minutes until rice has a little nutty centre. 5 Stir in butter and remove from heat. Add parmesan and stir. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

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 Arborio or Carnaroli rice.
  • Toast the rice before adding the liquid. This will help to develop the rice's flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Add the liquid gradually. Don't add all of the liquid at once, or the rice will become too soupy. Add it in small increments, stirring constantly, until the rice is cooked through.
  • Stir the risotto constantly. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
  • Season the risotto to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a knob of butter or a drizzle of olive oil at the end for extra flavor.
  • Serve the risotto immediately. Risotto is best served hot and fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can reheat it gently over low heat, stirring constantly.

Conclusion:

Risotto con funghi is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover mushrooms, and it's also a good source of protein and fiber. With a little practice, you'll be able to make risotto like a pro!
