Best 13 Wild Mushroom And Orzo Risotto Recipes

ORZO RISOTTO WITH WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Cover dried mushrooms with 1 1/2 cups boiling water in a heatproof bowl; let soak 20 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer mushrooms to a cutting board and roughly chop. Strain soaking liquid; add to a large pot along with stock, milk, and cardamom. Bring to a low simmer over medium heat and keep stock warm.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a medium pot over medium-high. Add wild mushrooms and chopped dried mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove mushrooms from pan; set aside.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in same pot over medium heat. Cook garlic, shallot, leek, coriander, and red-pepper flakes until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in orzo until well combined.
• Ladle 2 cups reserved stock over orzo and cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until almost completely absorbed. Continue adding stock, 1 cup at a time, stirring often and waiting for each addition to be almost completely absorbed before adding the next, until orzo is just al dente, about 20 minutes. Stir in sauteed mushrooms and continue to cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in fava beans, 1/4 cup parsley, 2 tablespoons dill, lemon zest and juice, and remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon orzo into serving bowls, top each with a soft-poached egg, and sprinkle with remaining herbs.

MUSHROOM ORZO RISOTTO

Steps:

• Sauté the mushrooms: (SEE NOTES before proceeding) Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, add half the mushrooms and cook, UNDISTURBED, for 4-5 minutes, or until they begin to turn golden and release their liquid. Stir and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are crisp but still moist, about 3-4 additional minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper. Use a slotted spoon to remove the mushrooms and transfer them to a bowl. Repeat with another tablespoon of butter and remaining mushrooms. Set bowl of mushrooms aside.
• Sauté vegetables: Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in the same pan you used to cook the mushrooms. Add in the shallots. Sauté, stirring occasionally until softened, about 2 minutes. Add in the garlic and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Toast orzo: Add in the orzo and thyme. Stir and cook until the orzo is golden and toasted, about 2-3 minutes.
• Add liquid: Add in ½ cup of broth to deglaze the pan. Use the back of a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits that are stuck to the bottom of the pan. Stir in the lemon juice and zest. Season with salt and pepper. Slowly pour in the remaining 3 ¼ cups of broth. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat. Simmer, stirring often, for 9-11 minutes or until orzo is al dente and pasta is creamy.
• Add cream: Stir in the cream and parmesan. Cook, stirring, until liquid is creamy, about 2 minutes. If orzo thickens up, add a bit of cream or broth - you want the pasta to be creamy, yet not too thick.
• Add mushrooms: Turn off the heat and add the mushrooms and parsley. Stir gently to combine.
• Serve: Remove from heat and drizzle with truffle oil to taste. Taste orzo and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve with additional parmesan, fresh herbs and truffle oil on the side. Enjoy!

WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Place the dried morels in a bowl and pour 2 cups boiling water over them. Set aside for 30 minutes. Scoop the morels from the water with a slotted spoon, reserving the liquid. You should have 2 cups; if not, add water to make 2 cups. Drain the morels and rinse once more. If some of the mushrooms are large, cut into 2 or 3 pieces. Pour the mushroom liquid through a coffee filter or paper towel, discarding the gritty solids. Set the mushrooms and the liquid aside separately.
• Meanwhile, remove and discard the stems of the porcini and rub any dirt off the caps with a damp paper towel. Dont rinse them! Slice thickly and set aside.
• In a small saucepan, heat the chicken stock with the 2 cups of reserved mushroom liquid and bring to a simmer.
• In a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter and saute the pancetta and shallots over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Add the morels and porcini and saute for another 5 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat the grains with butter. Add the wine and cook for 2 minutes. Add 2 full ladles of the chicken stock mixture to the rice plus the saffron, salt, and pepper. Stir and simmer over low heat until the stock is absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes. Continue to add the stock mixture, 2 ladles at a time, stirring every few minutes. Each time, cook until the mixture seems a little dry before adding more of the stock mixture. Continue until the rice is cooked through, but still al dente, about 25 to 30 minutes total. When done, the risotto should be thick and creamy and not at all dry. Off the heat, stir in the Parmesan cheese. Serve hot in bowls with extra cheese.

WILD MUSHROOM AND ORZO "RISOTTO"

Steps:

• Rinse mushrooms briefly with cold water. Place in small bowl. Add 1 1/2 cups hot water and let soak until softened, about 30 minutes. Drain mushrooms, reserving soaking liquid. Squeeze mushrooms and chop.
• Heat oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until tender, about 8 minutes. Add orzo and stir until coated with oil. Mix in chopped mushrooms.
• Meanwhile combine 4 cups broth other medium saucepan. Bring to simmer. Reduce heat to low and keep hot.
• Add 1 cup liquid to orzo, adjust heat so liquid simmers slowly and cook until orzo absorbs liquid, stirring occasionally. Continue adding liquid 1 cup at a time, simmering until each addition is absorbed before adding next and stirring occasionally until orzo is just tender and liquid is creamy, about 30 minutes. Stir in Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley.

WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Coat a large saute pan generously with olive oil and add the smashed garlic cloves. Bring to a medium-high heat. When the garlic cloves have begun to brown and are very aromatic remove and discard them. Add the assorted fresh mushrooms to the pan and season with salt. Saute the mushrooms until they are soft and pliable. Turn off the heat and reserve.
• Using your hand, carefully scoop the porcini mushrooms out of the hot water. (At this point the water should have cooled off significantly. If it is still too hot for your hand, use a slotted spoon.) Pour the top 2/3 of the mushroom water into another container and reserve for use while making the risotto. Discard the bottom third. It contains a lot of sand and dirt from the mushrooms. Puree the rehydrated mushrooms with a little of the reserved mushroom water to make a smooth mushroom paste. This will not look good but it will certainly taste good! Reserve.
• Coat a large saucepot abundantly with olive oil. Add the onions and season generously with salt. Bring the pot to a medium-high heat. Cook the onions, stirring frequently until they are very soft and aromatic but have no color. Add the rice and stir to coat with the olive oil. Cook the rice for 2 to 3 minutes to toast, stirring frequently. Add wine to cover the surface of the rice and stir frequently until it has completely absorbed. Add the reserved mushroom water and then add chicken stock until the liquid has covered the surface of the rice. Stir frequently until the stock has absorbed into the rice. Repeat this process 2 more times. Check for seasoning, you probably will need to add salt.
• During the third addition of stock, add the reserved sauteed mushrooms and 2 tablespoons of the pureed porcini mushrooms. When the stock has absorbed into the rice and the rice is cooked but still "al dente", remove the pot from the heat. Add the butter and cheese and whip until well combined. This will set the perfect consistency of the rice. The rice should flow and not be able to hold its shape and look very creamy. Serve immediately garnished with chives.

ORZO AND MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• In a 12 inch non-stick skillet over medium heat melt butter with oil and sauté mushrooms and onions until tender, remove from heat.
• In a 2-quart saucepan over medium high heat, add the olive oil and butter. Once the oil is hot and the butter is melted, add the orzo and stir until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring. Add the wine, stir, and cook to deglaze the pan.
• Once the wine has nearly evaporated, add the mushrooms, onions and 1 cup of the stock, stirring constantly until the stock is absorbed by the orzo, about 10 minutes, repeat 1 cup of stock at a time stirring constantly and add the salt, and white pepper with last cup. When the last cup of stock is absorbed stir in the butter and adjust the seasoning, to taste.

BAKED WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO

• Add the rice and cook until the kernels are well coated with the oil and mushrooms, about 2 minutes. Add wine, balsamic vinegar, broth and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Bring the liquid to a boil and then remove from heat. Transfer the mixture to a deep 9x13-inch baking dish. Wrap the top tightly with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil. Bake for 30 minutes until the rice is tender but al dente.
• Remove baking dish from oven and add the Parmesan and sage. Stir, adjust seasoning if necessary and serve immediately.

LUKE'S WILD MUSHROOM ORZO

Steps:

• TO PREPARE THE MUSHROOM STOCK:
• 1. In a small pot, immerse the dried porcinis in 4 1/2 cups of water. Add the sprig of thyme whole.
• 2. Bring the mushroom mixture to a boil over high heat, then remove immediately from the stove and set aside for 5 minutes.
• TO PREPARE THE ORZO:
• 1. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepot. Add the onion and cook over medium heat until it takes on a light golden color, about 3 minutes, stirring regularly to prevent burning.
• 2. Add the mixed wild mushrooms and stir well to combine. Saut&ecute; on medium-high heat for 1 to 2 minutes, until the mushrooms are just starting to color. At this point, but not before, add the salt and pepper (if you do it earlier, before the mushrooms have opened up, the salt will pull out all the moisture). Mix well to combine and continue cooking for another 30 seconds, until the mushrooms have started to reduce and color.
• 3. Move the pan well away from the heat (so you don't catch fire) and add the vermouth. Stir to combine and then return to the heat for just a few seconds, until the vermouth and mushroom juices form a syrupy mixture in the bottom of the pan.
• 4. Remove the pan from the heat, add the orzo, and mix well, so the grains are all coated with the pan juices.
• 5. Remove the thyme sprig from the porcini mixture and discard. Pour the porcinis and liquid over the orzo.
• 6. Return the pan to medium-high heat and bring up to a low boil, stirring well to combine. Turn the heat down to low, and keep the mixture at a very lazy bubble for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The orzo is done when it's swelled up and become tender, but still has a bit of a bounce between the teeth. There should be just a little bit of syrupy liquid on the bottom, but the orzo mixture should be a bit wet. (If you cook it till the liquid is completely absorbed, you'll have a sticky mess.)
• TO FINISH THE DISH:
• 1. Remove the pot from the heat. Add the butter and mix in well; then add the Parmigiano-Reggiano and continue stirring. Add the parsley and thyme leaves and mix well, until the texture of the dish is softer and richer from the butter and cheese and all the ingredients are well combined. If you're using the truffle oil, add it and mix well so the oil is absorbed.
• 2. Serve as quickly as possible, topped with a little more of the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.

WILD MUSHROOM ORZO

Steps:

• Bring broth and water to a simmer in saucepan.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet. Add mushrooms; cover and cook 2 minutes.
• Add orzo and cook another 2 minutes, stirring, until pasta is lightly toasted.
• Begin ladling hot liquid into pasta mixture, about a cup at a time. Stirring frequently, allow each ladleful to absorb before adding another. When all liquid has been used, the mixture will be thick and creamy.
• Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan. Serve topped with crushed black pepper, if desired.

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.

RISOTTO WITH WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Cut the mushrooms into one-inch pieces. There should be about four cups.

• 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.

MUSHROOM ORZO
