Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 ounce dried porcini mushrooms (available at Italian markets and specialty foods stores)
3 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup chopped onion
1 cup arborio rice or medium-grain white rice
3 1/2 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup chopped peeled carrot
1/3 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese
4 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
1 large egg, beaten to blend
Fresh tarragon sprigs
Carrot curls

Steps:

  • Place porcini in small bowl. Pour enough boiling water over just to cover. Let stand until mushrooms soften, about 30 minutes. Rinse and drain well. Chop mushrooms and reserve.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until almost tender, about 3 minutes. Add rice and stir 2 minutes. Mix in 3 cups chicken broth. Add porcini mushrooms and chopped carrot and simmer until risotto is very thick (wooden spoon drawn across bottom of pan will leave wide path) and rice is tender, stirring frequently and adding remaining chicken broth by 1/4 cupfuls if rice needs additional cooking, about 18 minutes. Mix in Pecorino Romano cheese and chopped tarragon; season risotto mixture to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl. Mix in egg. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Form mixture into six 3- to 3 1/2-inch-diameter patties, using about 1/2 cup risotto for each. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add risotto patties and cook until brown, about 5 minutes per side. transfer risotto cakes to plates. Garnish with tarragon sprigs and carrot curls.

I used a different type of mushroom in this recipe and it turned out great! I think you could use any type of mushroom you like.

I'm not a big fan of tarragon, so I omitted it from the recipe. The risotto cakes were still delicious, but I think they would have been even better with the tarragon.

These risotto cakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if I had added more liquid to the risotto before baking.

These risotto cakes were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if I had used less Parmesan cheese.

The risotto cakes were good, but they were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they had been baked instead of fried.

These risotto cakes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had added some additional herbs or spices.

I've made these risotto cakes several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. I like to add a bit of extra garlic and Parmesan cheese.
