Time 40m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 of a 1/2-ounce package of dried porcini or other wild mushrooms
4 cups no-salt-added chicken stock
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons olive oil
8 ounces fresh mixed wild mushrooms or plain white mushrooms
1 cup Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 cup frozen small peas
1 ounce Parmigiano Reggiano (1/3 cup coarsely grated)
1/8 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Soak dried mushrooms in very hot water.
  • Heat chicken stock to a simmer in a saucepan.
  • Chop onion. Heat oil in a deep heavy-bottom nonstick pan until it is medium hot. Add onion, and saute until it begins to take on a little color.
  • Meanwhile, wash and slice fresh mushrooms and add to onion.
  • Add rice to mixture, and stir until it is well coated.
  • Add wine, and stir until it cooks away, about 2 minutes.
  • Add about a cup of the simmering stock to rice mixture, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until liquid has been absorbed.
  • Continue adding broth as it is absorbed into the rice, stirring often.
  • Just before adding the last liquid, drain soaking mushrooms well, reserve liquid and add mushrooms to rice. For last liquid addition, use mushroom liquid.
  • Add peas and cook a minute, until they are tender.
  • Grate cheese. When rice is tender and there is broth left to make it slightly runny, season with salt and pepper, and serve. Top with cheese.

I was a little skeptical about using frozen peas, but they worked out great. They were still slightly crunchy, which I liked.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect. I used a variety of mushrooms, including shiitake, cremini, and oyster. The peas added a nice pop of color and sweetness.
