MUSHROOM RISOTTO WITH PEAS
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.

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.

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.

WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO WITH PEAS (SHRIMP TOO!)
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.

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.

RISOTTO WITH WILD MUSHROOMS AND PEAS
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.

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.

CAULIFLOWER "RISOTTO" WITH PORCINI MUSHROOMS AND PEAS
Risotto is a Northern Italian rice dish that is cooked for a long time, stirring often. A traditional risotto is cooked with a warm broth, added slowly, to create a creamy consistency. I remember my Nana would make a cup of coffee and grab her stool and sit at a stove for an hour while preparing risotto! As a paleo dish, it takes less time to prepare and the cauliflower gives it a perfect risotto feel.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the risotto will be. Use Arborio or Carnaroli rice, which are short-grain varieties that hold their shape well when cooked. Use fresh mushrooms and peas, and a flavorful broth.
- Toast the rice: Toasting the rice before adding the liquid helps to bring out its nutty flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Add the liquid gradually: Add the broth to the rice a little at a time, stirring constantly. This will help the rice to absorb the liquid evenly and prevent it from becoming too soupy.
- Cook the risotto until it is al dente: Risotto should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. This usually takes about 18-20 minutes.
- Stir the risotto frequently: Stirring the risotto helps to prevent the rice from sticking together and also helps to release the starch in the rice, which gives the risotto its creamy texture.
- Add the cheese and butter at the end: Once the risotto is cooked, stir in the cheese and butter. This will help to add flavor and richness to the dish.
- Serve the risotto immediately: Risotto is best served immediately after it is cooked. It can be garnished with additional cheese, herbs, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Risotto with mushrooms and peas is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is a great way to use up leftover rice, and it can also be made with a variety of different vegetables and proteins. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect risotto at home.
