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.

MUSHROOM RISOTTO



Mushroom Risotto image

For an elegant main course, try Tyler Florence's Mushroom Risotto, loaded with portobellos, creminis and dried porcinis for maximum mushroom flavor.

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     side-dish

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 cups chicken broth, low sodium
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 onion, diced, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced, divided
1 pound fresh portobello and crimini mushrooms, sliced
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon truffle oil
1-ounce dried porcini mushrooms, wiped of grit
2 cups Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup fresh Parmesan cheese, grated
Fresh Italian parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the chicken broth in a medium saucepan and keep warm over low heat.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 onion and 1 clove garlic, cook, stirring, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the fresh mushrooms, herbs and butter. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes until lightly browned, season with salt and pepper. Drizzle in truffle oil then add the dried porcini mushrooms which were reconstituted in1 cup of warm chicken broth. Season again with salt and fresh cracked pepper. Saute 1 minute then remove from heat and set aside.
  • Coat a saucepan with remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Saute the remaining 1/2 onion and garlic clove. Add the rice and stir quickly until it is well-coated and opaque, 1 minute. This step cooks the starchy coating and prevents the grains from sticking. Stir in wine and cook until it is nearly all evaporated.
  • Now, with a ladle, add 1 cup of the warm broth and cook, stirring, until the rice has absorbed the liquid. Add the remaining broth, 1 cup at a time. Continue to cook and stir, allowing the rice to absorb each addition of broth before adding more. The risotto should be slightly firm and creamy, not mushy. Transfer the mushrooms to the rice mixture. Stir in Parmesan cheese, cook briefly until melted. Top with a drizzle of truffle oil and chopped parsley before serving.

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.

Tips for Making Mushroom Risotto:

  • Use fresh, high-quality mushrooms. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your risotto.
  • Toast the rice before adding the liquid. This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Add the liquid gradually, stirring constantly. This will help the rice to cook evenly and prevent it from clumping.
  • Let the risotto simmer for at least 15 minutes. This will give the rice time to absorb the liquid and develop a creamy texture.
  • Stir in the cheese and butter at the end of cooking. This will make the risotto rich and creamy.
  • Serve the risotto immediately. It is best enjoyed when it is hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Mushroom risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover mushrooms, and it can also be made with other types of vegetables, such as peas, asparagus, or zucchini. Risotto is a great choice for a special occasion dinner, but it is also easy enough to make for a weeknight meal. With a little practice, you can master the art of making risotto and impress your friends and family with this classic Italian dish.
