Best 11 Risotto With Wild Mushrooms Recipes

WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat stock in pan over medium heat. Add dried mushrooms; cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon; chop finely. Keep stock at a simmer over medium heat.
• Remove stems from fresh mushrooms; chop finely. Slice caps 1/4 inch thick. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add mushroom caps; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and soft, about 3 minutes. Transfer to bowl. To pan, add remaining 6 tablespoons oil, mushroom stems, and shallots. Cook, stirring, until translucent. Add rice; cook, stirring, until rice begins to sound like glass beads, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add wine. Cook, stirring, until wine is absorbed by rice. Using a ladle, add 3/4 cup hot stock to rice. Using a wooden spoon, stir rice constantly, at a moderate speed. When rice has absorbed most but not all of liquid and mixture is just thick enough to leave a clear wake behind the spoon when stirring, add another 3/4 cup stock.
• Continue adding stock in this manner, stirring constantly, until rice is mostly translucent but still opaque in center. Continue cooking until rice is al dente, but not crunchy. As rice nears doneness, watch carefully; add smaller amounts of liquid. The mixture should be thick enough that grains are suspended in liquid the consistency of heavy cream. The risotto will thicken slightly when removed from heat.
• Add dried mushrooms and mushroom caps; warm over low heat. Remove from heat. Stir in butter and Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Divide among four bowls; grate Parmesan over risotto. Serve immediately.

WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 of mushrooms and sprinkle with salt. Sauté mushrooms until tender and beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to medium bowl. Working in 3 more batches, repeat with 6 tablespoons butter, remaining mushrooms, and salt and pepper.
• Bring 7 cups chicken broth to simmer in medium saucepan; keep warm. Melt remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter with olive oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add leek, sprinkle with salt, and sauté until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add rice and increase heat to medium. Stir until edges of rice begin to look translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add white wine and vermouth and stir until liquid is absorbed, about 1 minute. Add 3/4 cup warm chicken broth; stir until almost all broth is absorbed, about 1 minute. Continue adding broth by 3/4 cupfuls, stirring until almost all broth is absorbed before adding more, until rice is halfway cooked, about 10 minutes. Stir in sautéed mushrooms. Continue adding broth by 3/4 cupfuls, stirring until almost all broth is absorbed before adding more, until rice is tender but still firm to bite and risotto is creamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, if using. Transfer risotto to serving bowl. Pass additional Parmesan cheese alongside, if desired.

RISOTTO WITH WILD MUSHROOMS AND SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Place a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle with a 2-count of oil. When the oil is hot, sprinkle the scallops with salt and pepper and brown well on both sides, about 2 minutes. Remove to a plate and cover to keep warm while you make the risotto.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Drizzle in another 2-count of olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes until soft. Toss in the mushrooms and herbs and cook until the mushrooms lose their liquid and are lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the rice and stir 2 minutes to coat with the oil; the grains will turn opaque. Season again. Stir in the wine and cook 1 minute to evaporate the alcohol.
• Now pour in 1 cup of the warm stock and stir with a wooden spoon until the rice has absorbed all of the liquid. Add another cup of stock. Continue in this way, stirring constantly and adding the stock 1 cup at a time, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid before adding more. (You may not need all of the stock; the risotto is done when it is slightly firm but creamy.) Fold in the scallops with the last cup of stock to warm them up. When the risotto is cooked, fold in the butter and cheese, and drizzle with a little more olive oil. Serve hot. Garnish with parsley.

WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Bring the stock to the boil, then take off the heat and add the dried mushrooms. Allow to infuse for 20 minutes, then strain, keeping the stock to make the risotto and setting the soaked mushrooms aside.
• In a large sauté pan, heat 20g of the butter and fry the onion gently until soft. Add the rice and stir until it is coated in the butter. Pour in the wine to deglaze the pan and cook off until the pan is almost dry.
• With the stock on a simmer, add a ladle at a time to the rice and stir until it has been absorbed. Keep stirring and adding more stock each time it gets absorbed (top up with hot water if you find you run out). This process means it will take about 25 minutes for the rice to cook. To test it, remove one grain and bite into it - there should be a tiny chalky middle of uncooked rice. This will slowly disappear as the rice continues to absorb moisture but will ensure that the rice remains "al dente". Remove the pan from the heat and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, take a frying pan and add 20g of the butter. Cook until it is nut brown, then add the wild mushrooms. Toss them around, with a good pinch of salt - this will extract some moisture. Cook until the moisture has been driven off (two to three minutes) then add another 20g of butter, a squeeze of lemon and a tablespoon of chopped chives. Stir to coat mushrooms and set aside.
• Add the remaining 20g of butter to the risotto with 50g of the Parmesan. Keep stirring to make sure the butter does not split. It must remain an emulsion to achieve the texture of a smooth risotto. Stir the cooked and soaked mushrooms into the risotto and serve - the texture should be like lava, slowly settling to a level on the plate - with the remaining Parmesan for people to add. Drizzle over the truffle oil if using.

RISOTTO WITH WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Soak the porcini mushrooms in the cold water for 30 minutes. Lift the mushrooms from the soaking water, squeezing them over the water to return any liquid to the cup, and dice. Strain the porcini water through a fine mesh sieve and add it to the stock.
• Heat the stock until it reaches a low simmer, then adjust the heat so that it stays just at the simmering point.
• Heat the butter over low heat in a wide, heavy-bottom pan. Add the shallots and saute until they begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the rice and stir well to coat the grains. Add the porcini and portobello mushrooms and saute for 2 minutes.
• Add a ladle of stock; most soup ladles hold 1/2 cup. Stir until the liquid is absorbed. Add the salt and pepper. Keep the heat under the rice at medium and the liquid always simmering.
• After adding 3 or 4 ladles of stock, add the wine. continue to stir frequently and to add a ladle of stock at a time. When the rice is almost cooked through, in about 20 to 25 minutes, reduce the amount of stock added each time. As soon as the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat. Stir in the grated cheese and serve hot.

BARLEY RISOTTO WITH WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Combine the dried cepes and water in a saucepan. Simmer gently over medium heat until reduced to 6 cups, about 20 minutes. Drain through a sieve lined with cheesecloth, pouring the broth into a small saucepan. Finely chop the mushrooms and set aside. Keep the broth warm over low heat.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottom saucepan. Add the fresh mushrooms. Saute over high heat until golden, but not soft, about 3 minutes. Take the mushrooms out of the pan and set aside. Add the shallots and garlic to the saucepan. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the wine. Increase the heat to medium high and simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes. Add the barley and stir. Ladle in 1/2 cup of the hot broth and stir until all the liquid has been absorbed. Continue adding 1/2 cup of broth at a time, stirring until absorbed, until the barley is tender, about 30 minutes. Add both the dried cepes and fresh mushrooms and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes. Beat in the Parmesan. Divide among 4 bowls, garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil until onion is tender and garlic is lightly browned. Remove garlic, and stir in the parsley, celery, salt, and pepper. Cook until celery is tender, then add the mushrooms. Reduce heat to low, and continue cooking until the mushrooms are soft.
• Pour the milk and cream into the skillet, and stir in the rice. Heat to a simmer. Stir the vegetable stock into the rice one cup at a time, until it is absorbed.
• When the rice has finished cooking, stir in the butter and Parmesan cheese, and remove from heat. Serve hot.

GOURMET MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• In a saucepan, warm the broth over low heat.
• Warm 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the mushrooms, and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Remove mushrooms and their liquid, and set aside.
• Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to skillet, and stir in the shallots. Cook 1 minute. Add rice, stirring to coat with oil, about 2 minutes. When the rice has taken on a pale, golden color, pour in wine, stirring constantly until the wine is fully absorbed. Add 1/2 cup broth to the rice, and stir until the broth is absorbed. Continue adding broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring continuously, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is al dente, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove from heat, and stir in mushrooms with their liquid, butter, chives, and parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

RISOTTO WITH WILD MUSHROOMS AND PEAS

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.

RISOTTO WITH WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Cut the mushrooms into one-inch pieces. There should be about four cups.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the onions. Cook, stirring, until the onions are wilted. Add the rice and cook, stirring, about one minute. Add the wine and cook, stirring, about two minutes or until the wine is absorbed.
• Add the four cups of simmering broth and cook over moderately high heat.
• Heat four tablespoons of the oil in a skillet and add the garlic and bay leaves. Cook briefly and add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring, about two minutes, and sprinkle with salt, pepper and parsley. Cook about one minute more, stirring, and remove the garlic clove and bay leaves.
• When the rice has cooked eight minutes, add the mushrooms. Continue cooking, stirring often from the bottom, about two to five minutes, or until the rice is creamy but with the grains slightly resilient to the bite. Sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and stir. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese on the side.

FARRO RISOTTO WITH WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• For mushrooms: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add half the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender, about 7 minutes. Season with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper and transfer to a bowl. Repeat for remaining mushrooms. Keep warm until ready to serve.
• For stock: Combine stock ingredients in a 4-quart saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, about 8 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Reduce heat to the lowest setting to keep stock hot but not evaporating.
• For risotto: In another 4-quart pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until onion is translucent, about 2 minutes. Add farro and cook, stirring, until just starting to turn translucent (farro will start making a clicking sound), 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat if onion begins to brown.
• Pour wine into farro and onion mixture and cook, stirring, just until absorbed (farro should still be wet and glistening, not dry). Using a ladle, add 1/2 cup hot stock to the farro. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon, at a moderate speed, until about three-quarters of the liquid is absorbed (the mixture should be thick enough to hold a trail behind the spoon). Continue adding stock 1/2 cup at a time and stirring frequently until farro is tender but still firm to the bite and the liquid is creamy in consistency. As farro nears doneness, watch carefully and add smaller amounts of liquid to make sure it doesn't overcook (you may not need to use all the broth). The process should take 30 to 35 minutes total.
• For finishing: Stir in butter until completely melted (this is called mounting), then stir in cheese and season with salt. Serve topped with mushrooms, parsley, and pepper, and serve immediately.
