WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO



Wild Mushroom Risotto image

Provided by Ina Garten

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1-ounce dried morel mushrooms
1/2 pound fresh porcini or cremini mushrooms
4 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
2 ounces pancetta, diced
1/2 cup chopped shallots (3 shallots)
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving

Steps:

  • Place the dried morels in a bowl and pour 2 cups boiling water over them. Set aside for 30 minutes. Scoop the morels from the water with a slotted spoon, reserving the liquid. You should have 2 cups; if not, add water to make 2 cups. Drain the morels and rinse once more. If some of the mushrooms are large, cut into 2 or 3 pieces. Pour the mushroom liquid through a coffee filter or paper towel, discarding the gritty solids. Set the mushrooms and the liquid aside separately.
  • Meanwhile, remove and discard the stems of the porcini and rub any dirt off the caps with a damp paper towel. Dont rinse them! Slice thickly and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the chicken stock with the 2 cups of reserved mushroom liquid and bring to a simmer.
  • In a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter and saute the pancetta and shallots over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Add the morels and porcini and saute for another 5 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat the grains with butter. Add the wine and cook for 2 minutes. Add 2 full ladles of the chicken stock mixture to the rice plus the saffron, salt, and pepper. Stir and simmer over low heat until the stock is absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes. Continue to add the stock mixture, 2 ladles at a time, stirring every few minutes. Each time, cook until the mixture seems a little dry before adding more of the stock mixture. Continue until the rice is cooked through, but still al dente, about 25 to 30 minutes total. When done, the risotto should be thick and creamy and not at all dry. Off the heat, stir in the Parmesan cheese. Serve hot in bowls with extra cheese.

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.

Categories     dinner

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.

WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO WITH PEAS (SHRIMP TOO!)



Wild Mushroom Risotto With Peas (Shrimp Too!) image

Wow, if you love mushrooms, this has an amazing deep rich flavor that can't be beat! Giada's recipe from her cookbook, Everyday Italian. The secret to an intense mushroom flavor is simmering the dried Porcini mushrooms in hot chicken broth. Any dried mushrooms will do, pick your favorite or make it a mushroom combo. Can be served as a side entree or the main meal if you you add shrimp, which I like to do. Makes 6 generous side or main entree portions. Cooking time does not include cooking shrimp Add 5-7 minutes for this.

Categories     European

Time 1h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 3/4 cups chicken broth
1/2 ounce dried porcini mushrooms or 2 tablespoons dried porcini mushrooms
1/4 cup butter
2 cups onions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
10 ounces white mushrooms, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
2/3 cup dry white wine, I use Pinot Grigio
1/2 cup peas, frozen & thawed
2/3 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated, I use Parm-Regiano
pepper, several grinds to taste
salt, plenty salty with the cheese (optional)
16 -36 raw shrimp, 4-6 per person (optional)

Steps:

  • Make this portion of the recipe ahead if desired:.
  • Bring the broth to a simmer and add the dried Porcini mushrooms. Cover, remove from heat, and set aside until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the mushrooms, cool and chop fine. SAVE the broth, cover and keep warm over a very low heat.
  • Melt the butter in a large, heavy saucepan, over medium heat.
  • Add the onions and garlic and saute' until tender, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Add the white mushrooms, porcini mushrooms; saute' until the mushrooms are tender and the juices evaporate, about 7-10 minutes.
  • Stir in the rice and coat with the mushroom mixture.
  • Add the wine; cook, stirring often, until the liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes.
  • Add 1 C of hot broth to the arborio rice; simmer over med-low heat, stirring often until the liquid is absorbed, about 3 minutes. Repeat and continue to cook until the rice is just tender and the mixture is creamy, adding more hot broth by cupfuls and stirring often, about 28 minutes. You may not use all the broth. Check for desired level of doneness. Some like it al dente, I prefer it more tender, so I add more time and keep checking.
  • Stir in the peas, mix in the Parmesan cheese, season with salt & pepper.
  • OPTIONAL: *At this point I top with defrosted raw shrimp. Nestle the shrimp into the risotto and let them cook through on one side, then flip over to cook the other side. They will turn pink and opaque in color. This takes about 5-7 minutes depending on the size of the shrimp.

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.

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.

Yield Makes 6 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

9 1/2 tablespoons butter, divided
1 1/2 pounds fresh wild mushrooms
(such as cèpe [porcini], hen of the woods, chanterelle, or stemmed shiitake); large mushrooms sliced, small mushrooms halved or quartered
7 cups (about) low-salt chicken broth
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup finely chopped leek (white and pale green parts only)
1 1/4 cups arborio rice (8 to 9 ounces)
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup dry white vermouth
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese plus additional for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 of mushrooms and sprinkle with salt. Sauté mushrooms until tender and beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to medium bowl. Working in 3 more batches, repeat with 6 tablespoons butter, remaining mushrooms, and salt and pepper.
  • Bring 7 cups chicken broth to simmer in medium saucepan; keep warm. Melt remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter with olive oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add leek, sprinkle with salt, and sauté until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add rice and increase heat to medium. Stir until edges of rice begin to look translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add white wine and vermouth and stir until liquid is absorbed, about 1 minute. Add 3/4 cup warm chicken broth; stir until almost all broth is absorbed, about 1 minute. Continue adding broth by 3/4 cupfuls, stirring until almost all broth is absorbed before adding more, until rice is halfway cooked, about 10 minutes. Stir in sautéed mushrooms. Continue adding broth by 3/4 cupfuls, stirring until almost all broth is absorbed before adding more, until rice is tender but still firm to bite and risotto is creamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, if using. Transfer risotto to serving bowl. Pass additional Parmesan cheese alongside, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your risotto a more complex flavor. Some good options include shiitake, oyster, and cremini mushrooms.
  • Sauté the mushrooms until they are browned. This will help to develop their flavor and prevent them from becoming rubbery.
  • Use a good quality broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your risotto. If you don't have homemade broth, use a low-sodium store-bought broth.
  • Add the rice to the broth gradually. This will help to prevent the rice from clumping together and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Stir the risotto constantly. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Add the peas and Parmesan cheese at the end of cooking. This will help to preserve the color of the peas and prevent the cheese from becoming rubbery.

Conclusion:

Wild mushroom risotto with peas is a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your own home.
