RISOTTO WITH MUSHROOMS AND THYME



Risotto With Mushrooms and Thyme image

The Italian word for the ideal risotto texture is all'onda-literally, "like a wave." Risotto should spread and move and undulate. If you can stand a spoon up in it, it needs more liquid.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Risotto:
1 Tbsp. kosher salt, plus more
6 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
½ large white onion, finely chopped
2 cups carnaroli or Japanese sushi rice
1 cup dry white wine
5 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 oz. Parmesan, finely grated
Assembly:
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 lb. mushrooms (such as shiitake, crimini, or maitake), trimmed, caps torn into (2") pieces
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
5 sprigs thyme
5 garlic cloves, crushed
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar or fresh lemon juice
1 oz. Parmesan, finely grated

Steps:

  • Risotto:
  • Combine 1 Tbsp. salt and 10 cups water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium to maintain a bare simmer.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a 6-qt. Dutch oven over medium. Add onion and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent and starting to soften, 6-8 minutes. Add ½ cup water and cook, stirring often, until water evaporates and onion is sizzling in oil and tender, about 5 minutes. Taste onion; if it's still firm at all, add a splash of water and continue to cook until meltingly soft.
  • Add rice and stir well to coat with oil. Cook, stirring constantly, until grains are translucent around the edges and make a clattering sound when they hit against the pot, about 5 minutes. (Coating grains with oil before adding any liquid helps the rice cook evenly so that the outside does not become mushy before the center is tender.) Add wine and another pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until wine evaporates, about 2 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium, then add hot salted water to rice in ¾-cup increments, stirring constantly and allowing liquid to absorb fully before adding more, until rice is al dente and suspended in a fluid, not-too-thick creamy liquid, 25-30 minutes. It should take 2-3 minutes for each addition to be absorbed; if things are moving faster than this, reduce heat to medium-low. Gradual absorption and constant agitation are key to encouraging starches to release from risotto, creating its trademark creamy consistency. You may not need all of the hot water, but the finished texture should be more of a liquid than a solid. Start checking rice about 15 minutes after the first water addition; the grains should be tender but not mushy, with a slightly firm center that doesn't leave a chalky residue between your teeth after tasting. Do not overcook!
  • Remove pot from heat, add butter, and stir until melted. Gradually add Parmesan, stirring until cheese is melted and liquid is creamy but very loose; stir in more hot salted water if needed. Taste and season with more salt.
  • Assembly:
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add mushrooms; cook, tossing occasionally, until they begin to soften and release some liquid, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; cook, tossing occasionally, until deeply browned and tender, 8-10 minutes. Add thyme, garlic, and butter and cook, tossing occasionally, until garlic softens and butter is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add vinegar. Toss to coat, scraping up any browned bits. Pluck out thyme.
  • Divide risotto among warm bowls. Top each with a few grinds of pepper and spoon mushroom mixture over. Serve with Parmesan alongside.

GOURMET MUSHROOM RISOTTO



Gourmet Mushroom Risotto image

Authentic Italian-style risotto cooked the slow and painful way, but oh so worth it. Complements grilled meats and chicken dishes very well. Check the rice by biting into it. It should be slightly al dente (or resist slightly to the tooth but not be hard in the center).

RISOTTO : MUSHROOMS WITH GARLIC, THYME AND PARSLEY



Risotto : Mushrooms With Garlic, Thyme and Parsley image

This is an addition to a good basic risotto recipe. I add this to a double batch of my Basic Risotto (recipe #145066). The mushroom mixture is ridiculously flavorful.

Provided by dividend

Categories     Rice

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

9 ounces fresh mushrooms (I like a mix of different kinds, oyster, shiitake, cremini, chanterelles, reconstituted dried porcin)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
fresh thyme, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
salt
flat leaf parsley, chopped
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
lemon juice
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Thinly slice or tear the mushrooms.
  • In a very hot pan, heat the olive oil, and add the mushrooms and thyme. Cook for 1 minute, toss them, then add the garlic and a pinch of salt.
  • Cook for 2 or 3 more minutes, taste them to make sure they're cooked through. Add some parsley, a pinch of chili powder, a squeeze of lemon juice, and some pepper. Toss about another minute more, and remove from the heat.
  • Finely chop half the cooked mushroom mixture. Add the chopped half to the basic risotto recipe at step 8 (the same time you add liquid or stock).
  • Add the other half of the mushroom mixture at step 12 (with the butter and cheese at the very end).

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the flavor of your risotto. Use the best mushrooms you can find, and make sure your broth is flavorful.
  • Toast the rice: Toasting the rice before cooking it helps to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Add the liquid gradually: Adding the liquid gradually and stirring constantly will help the rice to absorb the liquid evenly and prevent it from becoming lumpy.
  • Cook the risotto until it is creamy and al dente: The risotto should be cooked until it is creamy and the rice is al dente, with a slight bite to it.
  • Stir in the cheese and butter: Stirring in the cheese and butter at the end of cooking will make the risotto creamy and rich.
  • Serve immediately: Risotto is best served immediately after it is cooked, when it is still creamy and hot.

Conclusion:

Risotto with mushrooms and thyme is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover mushrooms, and it can also be made with other vegetables, such as peas or asparagus. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect risotto that will impress your friends and family.
