Roasted-Garlic Risotto with Mushrooms image

Roasted-garlic puree enriches this earthy mushroom risotto. The puree is introduced at the start of the recipe, in the stock, and returns at the end for a final flourish. (You might not need to use all of the stock.) Just-right risotto should be creamy--not too soupy, and not too dry.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 quarts homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock, skimmed of fat
Roasted-Garlic Puree, 1/4 cup
12 ounces assorted mushrooms, such as chanterelle, cremini, and portobello
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 cup Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring stock to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low; whisk in 1 tablespoon garlic puree, and continue to simmer.
  • Remove stems from mushrooms, and finely chop. Cut mushroom caps into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add caps, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 5 to 7 minutes; transfer to a bowl.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon butter to pan. Add shallots and mushroom stems, and cook, stirring, until shallots are soft, about 2 minutes. Add rice; cook, stirring, until coated with oil and butter, 3 to 4 minutes. Add wine; stir until completely absorbed.
  • Stirring constantly, add 3/4 cup simmering stock at a time, letting rice absorb each addition before adding the next. Continue to add stock until rice is creamy but al dente, 17 to 20 minutes.
  • Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons garlic puree and 4 tablespoons butter, along with the cheese, chives, and reserved cooked mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish risotto with additional cheese and chives.

This risotto was too creamy for my liking. I prefer a risotto that is a little more al dente.

This risotto was a little bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper.
