GOURMET MUSHROOM RISOTTO



Gourmet Mushroom Risotto image

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).

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound chicken livers
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 1/2 to 4 cups well-seasoned chicken stock
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
10 ounces coarsely chopped cremini mushrooms
1 1/3 cups arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon finely minced fresh thyme
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Rinse the chicken livers. Cut them in small pieces, about half-inch squares, removing any sinew or membrane. Dry them on paper towels.
  • Heat two tablespoons of the oil in a heavy four-quart saucepan. Add the chicken livers and saute, stirring, until they are lightly browned.
  • While the chicken livers are cooking, bring the stock to a simmer in another saucepan.
  • When the livers are done, remove them from the pan and set them aside. Add the remaining oil to the pan, along with the onion and mushrooms. Saute over medium heat until the onion is tender. Stir in the rice and cook for a minute or so; then stir in the wine. Cook over medium heat until the wine has been absorbed. Stir in the thyme.
  • Begin to add the stock half a cup at a time, stirring constantly. As the stock is absorbed, add more. After about 20 minutes the rice should be tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Fold in the chicken livers, and cook another minute or so, until they are heated through. Serve at once with Parmesan cheese on the side.

CHICKEN & MUSHROOM RISOTTO



Chicken & mushroom risotto image

Learn to make this creamy, comforting risotto with our easy, step-by-step recipe - great for using up leftover chicken

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Supper

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

50g butter
85g smoked bacon lardons
1 large onion, halved and finely chopped
250g chestnut mushrooms, thickly sliced
300g arborio risotto rice
150ml dry white wine
1.4l hot chicken stock
140g cooked chicken, chopped
50g grated parmesan, plus extra to serve (optional)
½ small pack of flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a large pan. Add the lardons and fry for 5 mins over a low-medium heat. Stir in the onion and fry for 10 mins more until the onion is soft but not coloured.
  • Stir in the mushrooms and continue cooking, stirring, for 5 mins. Stir in the risotto rice and cook over a medium heat for 2 mins until the rice has started to turn translucent.
  • Pour in the wine and allow it to bubble away over the heat. Pour in a quarter of the chicken stock and set a timer for 20 mins.
  • Continue cooking, stirring very frequently, topping up with a splash more stock as it gets absorbed - this is best done in three more stages, until the rice is cooked and most of the stock has been absorbed (you may not need all the stock). The texture now should be creamy, like rice pudding.
  • Stir through the chicken, warm briefly, then turn off the heat. Stir through the parmesan and parsley, cover and leave to rest for 5 mins to allow more liquid to be absorbed into the rice. Season to taste and serve with extra parmesan, if you like.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH RISOTTO AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS



Roasted Chicken with Risotto and Caramelized Onions image

Moist roasted chicken gets the royal treatment with caramelized onions, balsamic vinegar and creamy risotto. You may choose to roast your own chicken or purchase a rotisserie chicken from a grocery store. A little grated cheese such as Parmesan or Pecorino Romano before serving is also a nice touch.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons butter
2 1/2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 -2 piece skinless chicken breast (cut into 1/2 inch pieces, if you hagve a large piece, then 1 piece will be sufficient)
5 1/2 cups chicken stock (heated)
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your risotto. Choose fresh, flavorful chicken, mushrooms, and vegetables.
  • Cook the rice properly. Arborio rice is the traditional choice for risotto because it has a high starch content, which helps to create a creamy sauce. Cook the rice according to the package directions, making sure to stir it frequently so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth you use will also add flavor to your risotto. Choose a flavorful broth, such as chicken broth or vegetable broth.
  • Add the ingredients gradually. Don't add all of the ingredients to the pot at once. Add the chicken and mushrooms first, then gradually add the rice and broth. This will help to prevent the risotto from becoming too thick or soupy.
  • Stir the risotto frequently. Stirring the risotto frequently will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and will also help to create a creamy sauce.
  • Cook the risotto until it is al dente. Risotto should be cooked until it is al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. It should not be overcooked or it will become mushy.

Conclusion:

Risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. By following these tips, you can make a perfect risotto every time. With its creamy texture and flavorful ingredients, risotto is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a special meal, give risotto a try.
