MUSHROOM RISOTTO WITH PEAS



Mushroom Risotto With Peas image

If you are ever at a loss for what to make for an impromptu dinner party, especially if there will be vegetarians at the table, consider this luxurious mushroom risotto. I added peas because I wanted to introduce some color, and also because the sweetness of the peas fits right in with the flavors of this dish. But this satisfying, elegant dish is fine without peas, too. You'll get a vibrant dash of green from the parsley added at the end of cooking.

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 to 7 cups chicken, vegetable or garlic broth or stock, as needed
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion, or 2 shallots, minced
3/4 to 1 pound wild mushrooms, cleaned if necessary and torn or sliced into smaller pieces if thick (small wild mushrooms should be left whole, mushrooms like maitake can just be separated into small pieces)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves or chopped sage
1 1/2 cups arborio or carnaroli rice
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc
1 cup frozen peas, thawed (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or a mixture of Parmesan and Pecorino Romano

Steps:

  • Bring stock or broth to a simmer in a saucepan, with a ladle nearby. Make sure stock is well seasoned, and keep it simmering on the stove.
  • Heat oil in a wide, heavy nonstick skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add onions or shallots and cook gently until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Turn up heat and add mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until they begin to sweat, about 3 minutes, then add garlic and thyme or sage. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper and continue to cook over medium heat until they are soft. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Add rice and stir until grains begin to crackle. Add wine and cook, stirring, until wine is no longer visible in pan. Stir in enough simmering stock to just cover the rice. The stock should bubble slowly. Cook, stirring often and vigorously, until stock is just about absorbed. Add another ladleful or two of stock and continue cooking, not too fast and not too slowly, stirring often and adding more stock when rice is almost dry, for 15 minutes.
  • Add peas, if using, and continue adding stock and stirring for another 10 minutes. Rice should be tender all the way through but still al dente. Taste now and adjust seasoning.
  • Add another ladleful or two of stock to rice. Stir in parsley and Parmesan, and remove from heat. Season with black pepper and serve right away in wide soup bowls or on plates.

RISOTTO WITH TURKEY, MUSHROOMS AND PEAS



Risotto With Turkey, Mushrooms and Peas image

Turkey makes an unexpected but welcome addition to this traditional risotto.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, appetizer, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield Serves four to six

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms (about 1 cup)
5 cups well-seasoned chicken or vegetable stock
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup minced onion
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
1 to 2 garlic cloves to taste, minced
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc
1 1/2 cups diced turkey
1 cup thawed frozen peas or cooked fresh peas
2 tablespoons minced chives
1/4 to 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (1 to 2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Place the mushrooms in a large Pyrex measuring cup, and pour in 2 cups boiling water. Allow to sit for 30 minutes. Line a strainer with cheesecloth, place it over a bowl and strain the mushrooms. Squeeze the mushrooms over the strainer then rinse several times to rid them of sand. Set aside. Combine the mushroom soaking liquid with the stock in a saucepan.
  • Bring the stock to a simmer over low heat, with a ladle nearby or in the pot. Make sure that the stock is well seasoned.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a wide, heavy nonstick skillet or a wide, heavy saucepan. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt, and cook gently until the onion is just tender, about three minutes. Do not brown.
  • Stir in the rice, porcinis and garlic. Stir until the grains separate and begin to crackle. Add the wine, and stir until it is no longer visible in the pan. Begin adding the simmering stock a couple of ladlefuls (about 1/2 cup) at a time. The stock should just cover the rice and should be bubbling neither too slowly nor too quickly. Cook, stirring often, until it is just about absorbed. Add another ladleful or two of the stock, and continue to cook in this fashion, adding more stock and stirring when the rice is almost dry. You do not have to stir constantly, but stir often. After 15 minutes, stir in the turkey and the peas, and continue to add stock as instructed above. The risotto is done in 20 to 25 minutes, when the rice is just tender all the way through but still chewy. Taste now and adjust seasoning.
  • Add another ladleful or two of stock to the rice. Stir in the chives and Parmesan, and remove from the heat. The mixture should be creamy (add more stock if it isn't). Serve right away in wide soup bowls or on plates, spreading the risotto in a thin layer rather than a mound.

RISOTTO WITH WILD MUSHROOMS AND PEAS



Risotto with Wild Mushrooms and Peas image

This is a great dish to serve on Sunday night when The Sopranos come on. It's classy and understated. A good way to add more intense mushroom flavor is to throw the mushroom stems in with the chicken stock. Just be sure to brush the mushroom stems first for any loose dirt.

Yield serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

Extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound assorted mushrooms, such as Portobello, crimini, and chanterelle, stems removed, sliced
Leaves from 3 sprigs fresh thyme
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 bay leaves
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
8 cups Chicken Stock (page 156), heated
1 cup frozen sweet peas, run under cool water to thaw
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place a large, deep skillet over medium heat and drizzle with a 3-count of oil. Add the onion and garlic, and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, until soft. Toss in the mushrooms and herbs; cook down until the mushrooms lose their liquid and are lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the rice and stir for a minute or two, until the grains are well coated and opaque. Season again; seasoning in stages makes the rice taste good from the inside out. Stir in the wine and cook a minute to evaporate the alcohol. Pour in 1 cup of the warm stock. Stir with a wooden spoon until the rice has absorbed all the liquid; then add another cup. Keep stirring while adding the stock a cup at a time, allowing the rice to drink it in before adding more. You may not need all the stock. Taste the risotto. It should be slightly firm but creamy-definitely not mushy, but not raw either. Fold in the peas, butter, and Parmigiano cheese. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with parsley to finish the dish up. Risotto doesn't like to sit around, so serve it immediately.

CAULIFLOWER "RISOTTO" WITH PORCINI MUSHROOMS AND PEAS



Cauliflower

Risotto is a Northern Italian rice dish that is cooked for a long time, stirring often. A traditional risotto is cooked with a warm broth, added slowly, to create a creamy consistency. I remember my Nana would make a cup of coffee and grab her stool and sit at a stove for an hour while preparing risotto! As a paleo dish, it takes less time to prepare and the cauliflower gives it a perfect risotto feel.

MUSHROOM AND PEA RISOTTO



Mushroom and Pea Risotto image

My very first risotto recipe and I must say, it's pretty legit. Rich and creamy with loads of mushrooms, peas, and cheese. Absolutely delicious and honestly, quite easy to whip up. Serve and garnish with additional grated cheese and chopped parsley.

Provided by Jonathan Charbz

Categories     Risotto

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 cups vegetable broth
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 medium yellow onion, minced
4 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
2 cups cremini mushrooms, sliced
¾ cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
½ teaspoon ground thyme
2 cups Arborio rice
1 large bay leaf
½ cup dry white wine
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup shredded Pecorino Romano cheese
⅓ cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Bring regular and low-sodium vegetable broth to a slow boil in a medium pot over medium heat. Reduce heat slightly and keep warm.
  • Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add cremini and shiitake mushrooms, fresh and dried thyme, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cook and stir until mushrooms have released their liquid and caramelized a bit, about 5 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a plate and set aside.
  • Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet and return to the heat to melt. Add Arborio rice and stir until rice gives off a toasty smell and appears a little paler in color, about 2 minutes. Add bay leaf, pour in wine, and stir until liquid is absorbed, about 3 minutes.
  • Use a ladle to scoop some hot broth into the skillet. Cook and stir until all liquid is absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes, before adding another ladle of broth. Continue this process until risotto is just about finished, about 15 minutes. With the final ladle of broth, add frozen peas and return cooked vegetables to the pan.
  • Remove from the heat once the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, yet firm to the bite. Stir in Pecorino Romano cheese and parsley. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.

Tips:

  • Use the right rice: Arborio or carnaroli rice are the best choices for risotto because they have a high starch content that helps create a creamy texture.
  • Toast the rice: Toasting the rice in a little butter or oil before adding the liquid helps to bring out its flavor and prevent it from sticking together.
  • Add the liquid gradually: Add the liquid in small increments, stirring constantly, to allow the rice to absorb it evenly and cook through.
  • Keep the risotto simmering: Risotto should be cooked at a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil. This will help to prevent the rice from overcooking and becoming mushy.
  • Stir the risotto frequently: Stirring the risotto frequently will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the pan and will also help to create a creamy texture.
  • Add the cheese and butter at the end: Stir in the cheese and butter just before serving to create a rich and creamy sauce.
  • Serve the risotto immediately: Risotto is best served immediately after it is cooked, as it will start to lose its creamy texture as it cools.

Conclusion:

Risotto with mushrooms and peas is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. It is a great way to use up leftover rice, and it can also be made with a variety of different vegetables, meats, and cheeses. With a little practice, you can easily make a delicious risotto at home.
