Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoon butter (or other vegan butter substitute)
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme (dried thyme also works)
a pinch or two of salt and pepper
1/4 cup white wine
1 cup arborio rice (also called risotto rice)
1 1/2 cups chopped white mushrooms
4 cups hot chicken or vegetable stock
fresh parsley or thyme and Parmesan cheese for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter.
  • Once the butter is melted, add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is soft and translucent.
  • Add the lemon juice, thyme and salt and pepper.
  • Add the wine and stir as the wine reduces (cook for about 5 minutes until the wine reduces).

  • Stir in the mushrooms.
  • Add the hot chicken stock (or vegetable stock) about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and waiting until the stock is absorbed by the rice until you add another 1/2 cup.
  • Repeat the process above until all the stock has been added and absorbed by the rice and a creamy sauce has formed, stirring constantly throughout.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 to 8 cups chicken stock
5 ounces dried mushrooms (porcini or other wild dried mushrooms)
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 shallots, minced
2 cups arborio rice
1/2 cup white vermouth
2/3 cup grated Parmesan, plus extra for serving
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the stock and ladle 2 cups into a medium bowl. Add dried mushrooms and let soak for 20 minutes, then drain, reserving the liquid. Pour liquid through a fine sieve lined with cheesecloth or paper towels to catch any grit. Add mushroom liquid back to warm stock. Keep stock heated over medium heat. Pat soaked mushrooms dry and saute in a large skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Heat remaining olive oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until softened. Add rice and cook, stirring, until the rice becomes translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add vermouth and stir until absorbed by rice. Add warm mushroom stock to rice, 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly. All stock must be fully absorbed before the next cup of stock is added. After about 20 minutes, the rice should be tender but not mushy, it should have a creamy texture. Add more stock if needed. Fold in Sauteed mushrooms, Parmesan, and season with salt and pepper. Let stand for a minute before serving. Sprinkle with Parmesan, if desired.

  • Scoop cream of mushroom soup into a bowl, and gradually stir in boiling water until mixture is smooth but not runny.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the stock to a gentle simmer.
  • Heat butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in onion, garlic, and chopped mushrooms; cook about 3 minutes. Gradually stir in rice; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly to coat rice with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in thyme and basil to taste.
  • Pour in the mushroom soup mixture, stirring until absorbed. Gradually add 1/3 stock, stirring until liquid is absorbed.

MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Barney guides you through a step-by-step guide to making a mushroom risotto - you might even find it relaxing!

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Starter, Supper

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

50g dried porcini mushrooms
1 vegetable stock cube
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
250g pack chestnut mushrooms, chopped
300g risotto rice, such as arborio
1 x 175ml glass white wine
25g butter
handful parsley leaves, chopped
50g parmesan or Grana Padano, freshly grated

Steps:

  • Put 50g dried porcini mushrooms into a large bowl and pour over 1 litre boiling water. Soak for 20 mins, then drain into a bowl, discarding the last few tbsp of liquid left in the bowl.
  • Crumble 1 vegetable stock cube into the mushroom liquid, then squeeze the mushrooms gently to remove any liquid.
  • Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a shallow saucepan or deep frying pan over a medium flame. Add 1 finely chopped onion and 2 finely chopped garlic cloves, then fry for about 5 mins until soft.
  • Stir in 250g chopped chestnut mushrooms and the dried mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and continue to cook for 8 mins until the fresh mushrooms have softened.
  • Tip 300g risotto rice into the pan and cook for 1 min. Pour over a 175ml glass of white wine and let it bubble to nothing so the alcohol evaporates.
  • Keep the pan over a medium heat and pour in a quarter of the mushroom stock. Simmer the rice, stirring often, until the rice has absorbed all the liquid.
  • Add about the same amount of stock again and continue to simmer and stir - it should start to become creamy, plump and tender. By the time the final quarter of stock is added, the rice should be almost cooked.
  • Continue stirring until the rice is cooked. If the rice is still undercooked, add a splash of water. Take the pan off the heat, add 25g butter and scatter over 25g grated parmesan or Grana Padano cheese and half a handful of chopped parsley leaves.
  • Cover and leave for a few mins so that the rice can take up any excess liquid as it cools a bit. Give the risotto a final stir, spoon into bowls and scatter with the remaining 25g grated cheese and the remaining chopped parsley leaves.

MUSHROOM RISOTTO



Mushroom Risotto image

This is a very easy risotto. It was published in The Canberra Times Sunday magazine during July. It's the first, and only, one I've ever made because I always felt very intimidated by risotto. All of the recipes I'd ever seen made it seem as if it was really easy to have a culinary disaster and that put me off. But this recipe seemed so easy and foolproof that I decided to try it. And it is as easy as it seems. I would have used more mushrooms and cheese than the recipe says because I don't recognise the phrases 'too many mushrooms' and 'too much cheese'. They are oxymoronic. There is no such thing as too many mushrooms or too much cheese. So use as many mushrooms and as much cheese as you like; or you could use the amounts specified in the recipe. I gave some to LeggyPeggy who also thought it was very nice. So, if you are intimidated by risotto, try this recipe. You'll be glad you did.

HOW TO COOK A PERFECT RISOTTO RECIPE BY TASTY



How To Cook A Perfect Risotto Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: low-sodium chicken stock, olive oil, shallot, shiitake mushroom, unsalted butter, garlic, fresh thyme, salt, pepper, arborio rice, white wine, grated parmesan cheese, fresh parsley

Provided by Matt Ciampa

Categories     Lunch

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 cups low-sodium chicken stock, or vegetable stock
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 lb shiitake mushroom, stemmed and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 ½ cups arborio rice
½ cup white wine
1 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
¼ cup fresh parsley, for serving

Steps:

  • Add the stock to a medium pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Once the stock is boiling, reduce the heat to low or remove the pan from the heat and keep nearby.
  • Heat the olive oil in a wide, tall pot over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the shallot and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent.
  • Add the shiitake mushrooms and butter. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have cooked down.
  • Add the garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper, stir, and cook for 1 minute, until the butter has melted and the garlic is aromatic.
  • Add the rice and stir until fully coated in the mushroom mixture. Let the rice toast for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Add the white wine and cook until the wine has evaporated, stirring occasionally.
  • Add 1 cup (240 ml) of the hot stock and stir to combine. Cook, stirring frequently, until the stock is fully absorbed.
  • Continue to add the stock, ½ cup (120 ml) at a time, stirring continuously, until the broth is fully absorbed, for 15-20 minutes. Depending on how fast the rice cooks, there may be leftover stock.
  • Once the rice is al dente, remove from the heat. Add the Parmesan and stir to combine.
  • Top with parsley, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. Risotto is a fast-paced dish, and you don't want to be scrambling to find ingredients while you're cooking.
  • Use a wide, shallow pan: This will help the rice cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Toast the rice: This step is essential for developing the risotto's signature nutty flavor. Be sure to toast the rice until it is fragrant and golden brown.
  • Add the liquid gradually: Don't dump all of the liquid into the pan at once. Add it in small increments, stirring constantly. This will help the rice absorb the liquid evenly and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Stir constantly: Stirring the risotto constantly is essential for preventing it from sticking to the bottom of the pan and for ensuring that it cooks evenly.
  • Taste the risotto frequently: As the risotto cooks, taste it frequently to check the flavor. Season it with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Let the risotto rest before serving: Once the risotto is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the rice to absorb any remaining liquid and will help the risotto to develop a creamy texture.

Conclusion:

Mushroom risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. It's a great way to use up leftover mushrooms, and it's also a good source of protein and fiber. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect mushroom risotto every time.
