Best 7 Lemon Risotto With Bacon Mushroom Recipes

LEMON RISOTTO WITH BACON & MUSHROOM

Steps:

• In a small pot combine lemon juice and stock and bring to a simmer.

• Lightly spray olive oil in another large heavy based pot.
• Add the onion and bacon and cook over a medium heat until onion is softened.
• Add arborio rice and cook over medium heat until rice warms for about 5 minutes (don't allow to brown).
• Add 1 cup of the hot lemon stock to the rice, stirring well with a wooden spoon.
• Once the stock has absorbed, add the mushrooms and another cup of hot stock.
• Stir well and wait until the stock has been absorbed before adding another cup of the hot stock.

• Remove from heat and stir in parmesan cheese.
• Cover with lid and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

RISOTTO WITH PARMESAN AND LEMON

Steps:

• Bring the chicken stock to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium heat.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a separate large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and a touch of salt and cook, stirring often, until the onion is tender, about 8 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook until evaporated, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Add 1 cup simmering chicken stock to the rice and cook, stirring constantly, until absorbed. Repeat, adding the stock 1 cup at a time, until the rice is al dente and creamy in texture, about 20 minutes. (You might not use all of the stock.)
• When the rice is al dente, remove from the heat and stir in the cheese, chives and lemon juice. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil.
• Divide the risotto among shallow bowls. Drizzle with olive oil, top with the lemon zest and more chives, and season with salt and pepper.

BACON RISOTTO

Steps:

• Cook and stir the diced bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon and reserve.
• Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a saucepan over high heat; reduce heat to low to keep the chicken stock hot.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion begins to turn golden brown at the edges, about 2 minutes. Pour in the rice and stir until the rice is coated in butter and has started to toast, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; stir in one-third of the hot chicken stock and continue stirring until the rice has absorbed the liquid and turned creamy. Repeat this process twice more, stirring constantly. Stirring in the broth should take 15 to 20 minutes in all. When finished, the rice should be tender, yet slightly firm.
• Remove the risotto from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, the Parmesan cheese, and the reserved bacon. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

LEMONY MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Pour 2/3 cup hot water over porcini in a heatproof cup and let stand until softened, about 10 minutes. Lift porcini out of water, squeezing excess liquid back into cup, and rinse well to remove any grit. Coarsely chop porcini. Pour soaking liquid through a paper-towel-lined sieve into a glass measure and reserve.
• Meanwhile, bring broth and remaining 2 cups hot water to a simmer. Keep at a bare simmer, covered.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté cremini, stirring, until browned, about 7 minutes. Add porcini and reserved soaking liquid to skillet and boil, stirring, 1 minute. Remove from heat.
• Cook onion in 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add rice and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Add wine and simmer, stirring constantly, until absorbed.
• Stir in 1/2 cup simmering broth mixture and cook at a strong simmer, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed. Continue simmering and adding broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently and letting each addition become absorbed before adding the next, until rice is tender but still al dente and creamy (it should be the consistency of a thick soup), 18 minutes. (There will be leftover broth.)
• Stir in zest, mushrooms, remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, parmesan, parsley, and pepper to taste. (If necessary, thin risotto with some of remaining broth.) Serve immediately.

SLOW-COOKER BACON AND MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Spray 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
• Heat 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook 10 to 13 minutes, stirring frequently, until bacon is crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to slow cooker.
• Add mushrooms to drippings in skillet. Increase heat to medium-high; cook 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Add shallots to skillet and cook 2 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until shallots are softened and mushrooms are browned. Add rice and salt and cook about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until rice becomes opaque. Add wine; cook and stir until most of the liquid is absorbed. Transfer to slow cooker.
• Add broth to slow cooker; stir. Cover and cook on High heat setting 30 minutes. Stir; cook 40 to 60 minutes longer or until rice is just tender but not mushy, and liquid is absorbed.

LEMON-PARMESAN RISOTTO

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, heat broth, water and salt to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low to keep broth warm.
• In 4- to 5-quart Dutch oven, heat butter and oil over medium heat until butter stops sizzling. Stir in rice until coated and heat, stirring constantly, until kernels are slightly translucent around edges. Add wine and heat 3 minutes longer, stirring constantly, until rice absorbs liquid.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and stir well. Add 1 cup broth (a 1/2-cup ladle works well for adding the broth) to rice so there is just enough to barely cover the rice. Continue cooking and stirring about 5 minutes or until rice has absorbed most of the broth. Add another 1 cup broth and cook about 5 minutes longer, stirring constantly, until broth is almost absorbed. Repeat twice, adding 1 cup broth each time and cooking until broth is almost absorbed and rice is al dente (firm to the bite) and creamy. Stir in cheese, lemon peel and lemon juice. Remove from heat and sprinkle with parsley.
