PORCINI AND PARMESAN RISOTTO

We found risotto only needs occasional stirring to cook up creamy; adding broth in large batches cuts down on fuss. Cook the rice until al dente -- you don't want it too soft.

PORCINI AND PARMESAN RISOTTO



Porcini and Parmesan Risotto image

I've never made risotto, and usually don't order it when I'm in a restaurant because I always try to eat protein and veggies as opposed to a plate of carbs like pasta or rice. However, I was CRAVING carbs and decided to venture into the unknown world of risotto making. I've heard it's not difficult to make, just time consuming...

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

14 1/2 oz chicken broth
1/2 oz dried porcini mushrooms, rinsed (i used a bag of dried mixed mushrooms with porcini, morels, chanterelles, etc - it was all i could find)
3 Tbsp butter
8 oz mixed, fresh mushrooms such as cremini, shiitake (stems removed) and oyster, all cut into 1/2 inch pieces (i used only cremini - again, it was all i could find).
salt and pepper
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1 c arborio rice (this is the only kind of rice to be used for risotto..any other will not have the same result)
1/2 c dry white wine
1/2 c grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium saucepan, combine broth, dried mushrooms and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil; cook until mushrooms are tender, about 1 minute. With a slotted spoon remove mushrooms; coarsely chop. Strain hot broth through a paper coffee filter (or fine sieve) to remove any grit from mushrooms, return broth to pan keep covered, on low heat.
  • 2. In a large saucepan, heat 1 TBL butter over medium-high heat. Add fresh mushrooms and chopped mushrooms; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until tender, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate, set aside.
  • 3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add onion and 1 TBL butter to saucepan. (At this point I also added the finely chopped shallot). Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally 3-5 minutes. Add rice, and cook stirring, about 1 minute. Add wine, and cook, stirring, until absorbed, 1 minute.
  • 4. Add 2 C of warm broth to rice mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, until absorbed, 4-5 minutes. Continue to add broth, by cupfuls (I just used a ladle) stirring occasionally and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more, until rice is al dente, about 25 minutes total (you may not need all the broth).
  • 5. Remove risotto from heat. Stir in Parmesan, remaining TBL butter, and half the sauteed mushrooms; season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with remaining mushrooms, and serve immediately, garnished with more Parmesan.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the risotto will be. Look for fresh, flavorful mushrooms, a creamy, flavorful cheese, and a good quality stock.
  • Toast the rice: This step helps to develop the rice's flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy. Be sure to toast the rice until it is golden brown.
  • Add the liquid gradually: Don't dump all of the liquid into the rice at once. Add it in small batches, stirring constantly, so that the rice has a chance to absorb the liquid and cook evenly.
  • Stir constantly: This is essential for preventing the risotto from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning. Stir the risotto constantly, especially during the first few minutes of cooking.
  • Cook the risotto until it is creamy and tender: The risotto should be cooked until it is creamy and tender, but still has a slight bite to it. This usually takes about 18-20 minutes.
  • Season the risotto to taste: Once the risotto is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and additional grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Serve the risotto immediately: Risotto is best served immediately, while it is still hot and creamy.
