Steps:
- Heat a large cast iron skillet or pan over medium heat. Cook the mushrooms in 1 tablespoon of the oil for 5 minutes until they turn brown, then transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Wipe out the pan and drizzle with remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the chopped shallots or onion and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until they begin to soften. Add the roasted garlic, mashing it in a bit, and season with salt and pepper.
- Turn up the heat to medium-high and add the rice, stirring just until the grains become somewhat translucent - about 1 minute.
- Add the wine and cook, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan, until the alcohol is burned off - about 2 minutes. If not using the wine, just skip this step and add the additional water or chicken stock in the next step.
- Turn the heat down to medium-low and add 3 cups of chicken stock to the rice. Leaving the skillet uncovered, continue to cook over medium-low until most of the liquid has been absorbed, stirring just once or twice while the rice cooks.
- Test the rice by tasting a small spoonful. It should be firm, but not soft. Adjust salt & pepper, as needed, then add additional stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring in between each addition, until the rice is cooked to your taste and the liquid has been absorbed.
- Add the sauteed mushrooms back into the risotto to heat through just as the rice is almost done. When the rice is done, add another splash of chicken broth to make the risotto slightly soupy and remove the pan from the heat.
- Add the butter, Parmesan and lemon zest to the rice and stir thoroughly until the butter is completely melted and the risotto becomes nice and creamy and finishes absorbing any extra stock.
- Serve immediately, garnishing with shaved Parmesan, additional lemon zest, and micro-greens or freshly chopped parsley.

ROASTED-GARLIC RISOTTO WITH MUSHROOMS
Roasted-garlic puree enriches this earthy mushroom risotto. The puree is introduced at the start of the recipe, in the stock, and returns at the end for a final flourish. (You might not need to use all of the stock.) Just-right risotto should be creamy--not too soupy, and not too dry.

Steps:
- Bring stock to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low; whisk in 1 tablespoon garlic puree, and continue to simmer.
- Remove stems from mushrooms, and finely chop. Cut mushroom caps into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add caps, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 5 to 7 minutes; transfer to a bowl.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon butter to pan. Add shallots and mushroom stems, and cook, stirring, until shallots are soft, about 2 minutes. Add rice; cook, stirring, until coated with oil and butter, 3 to 4 minutes. Add wine; stir until completely absorbed.
- Stirring constantly, add 3/4 cup simmering stock at a time, letting rice absorb each addition before adding the next. Continue to add stock until rice is creamy but al dente, 17 to 20 minutes.
- Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons garlic puree and 4 tablespoons butter, along with the cheese, chives, and reserved cooked mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish risotto with additional cheese and chives.

Steps:
- Place racks in bottom third and middle of oven; preheat to 350°F. Toss mushrooms, garlic, thyme, red pepper flakes, 1/4 cup oil, and 1/2 tsp. salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast on bottom rack, tossing halfway through, until deeply golden brown and crisped, 25-30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large ovenproof Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until softened and slightly translucent, 3-5 minutes. Stir in rice; season with pepper and 1/2 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until some grains are translucent, about 2 minutes. Add vermouth, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until pan is almost dry, about 2 minutes. Add 2 1/2 cups stock. Bring to a simmer, then cover and bake in oven until liquid is mostly absorbed but rice is still slightly firm in the center, 16-18 minutes.
- Return pot to stove and heat over medium. Add remaining 1/2 cup stock and cook, stirring constantly, until rice is tender but still has some bite and sauce is creamy, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan, butter, and lemon zest; season to taste with salt, if needed. Add a little bit of warm water, if needed, until risotto is thick but still pourable.
- Transfer risotto to a platter. Top with crispy mushrooms and parsley. Drizzle with oil. Serve with lemon wedges alongside.

ROASTED GARLIC AND MUSHROOM RISOTTO
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Slice the top off the head of garlic. Put it on a large square of aluminum foil and drizzle 1 teaspoon of the extra-virgin olive oil over the exposed cloves. Wrap the foil around and over the garlic. Roast until it is soft, about 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Pour the 2 cans of broth into a saucepan, over low heat, and add 3 cans of water. Bring to a simmer.
- In a large, heavy bottomed skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute for 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook until the mushrooms release their juices, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and cook for 1 minute to toast.
- Add 2 ladles full of hot broth to the pan and gently stir the rice. Cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Adjust the heat so that the pan is just gently bubbling. Continue adding broth and stirring until all the broth is used and the rice is cooked but not mushy, about 20 to 25 minutes. Once the rice has absorbed all the liquid and is nice and creamy, stir in the butter, Parmesan and the garlic pulp. Cover and let rest for 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot.
- Reserve 3 cups for the round 2 recipe, Risotto Cakes.
- In a large bowl add the leftover risotto, eggs, corn, bread crumbs, and Parmesan and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Mix to combine well. Form into 12 balls about the size of a walnut, then flatten into patties and arrange on a baking sheet.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook until they are golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the patties from the oil to a baking sheet lined with a brown bag or paper towels to drain the excess oil. Transfer to a serving tray and serve hot.
Tips:
- Use Arborio rice. This short-grain rice is specifically designed for risotto and will give you the creamy, al dente texture you're looking for.
- Toast the rice before cooking. This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Add the liquid slowly. Risotto is a slow-cooked dish, so you need to add the liquid gradually, stirring constantly. This will allow the rice to absorb the liquid evenly and prevent it from becoming too watery.
- Use a wooden spoon to stir the risotto. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the pot.
- Be patient. Risotto takes time to cook, so don't rush it. It should take about 18-20 minutes to cook through.
- Season the risotto to taste. Once the risotto is cooked, season it with salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
Conclusion:
Roasted garlic risotto with mushrooms is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With a little planning and attention to detail, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you're looking for a creamy, flavorful risotto recipe, give this one a try.
