Categories     side dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ounces dried morels
2 cups hot water
3 1/2 to 4 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
1/3 cup dry white wine
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Put the morels in a small bowl, add the water and set aside to soak for 30 minutes. Drain the morels, reserving the liquid. Mix the liquid with the stock and place in a saucepan. Keep at a low simmer.
  • Heat the butter in a heavy saucepan, add the onion and garlic and saute over medium-low heat until tender but not brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in the rice and cook, stirring, a few minutes until the rice begins to whiten. Add the wine and the morels. Stir.
  • Gradually add the simmering stock, about half a cup at a time, stirring constantly. Add additional stock as each ladleful becomes absorbed into the rice. Continue adding the stock until the rice has swelled and is al dente. Continue to cook, stirring, another minute or so. The rice should be just tender and moistened with a thickened sauce.
  • Serve dusted with Parmesan cheese.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my risotto turned out a bit mushy. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This risotto was a little bland for my taste. I think I would have added more salt and pepper, or maybe even some grated Parmesan cheese.

I wasn't sure about using asparagus in a risotto, but it actually worked really well. The asparagus added a nice crunch and a bit of sweetness.

This risotto was a bit too rich for my taste, but the flavors were still good. I think I would have preferred it with a different type of mushroom, like shiitake or oyster mushrooms.
