Mushroom Risotto


Use This:

  • 1 cup Arborio rice

  • 4 cups mixed wild mushrooms (shiitake, oyster, chanterelle), cleaned and sliced

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/2 cup dry white wine

  • 6 cups vegetable or chicken broth, kept warm

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tablespoon truffle oil

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Do This:

  1. Sauté and Shimmer: In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic, allowing it to shimmer and release its aromatic essence.

  2. Mushroom Magic: Add the wild mushrooms to the pan, sautéing until they release their moisture and develop a golden brown color. Set aside a handful of mushrooms for garnish later.

  3. Risotto Revelation: Stir in the Arborio rice, ensuring each grain is coated with the fragrant mixture. Let it toast for a minute or two, absorbing the flavors.

  4. Wine Whirlwind: Pour in the white wine, stirring continuously until it evaporates. This step adds a burst of acidity that elevates the risotto.

  5. Ladle by Ladle: Begin adding the warm broth one ladle at a time, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid before adding the next. Stir continuously, coaxing out the risotto's creamy consistency.

  6. Mushroom Infusion: When the rice is almost cooked, fold in the sautéed wild mushrooms, infusing the dish with their robust flavor. Continue adding broth until the risotto reaches al dente perfection.

  7. Cheese Embrace: Stir in the Parmesan cheese and butter, creating a velvety texture that wraps each grain of rice in a luscious embrace.

  8. Truffle Symphony: Drizzle truffle oil over the risotto, stirring gently to distribute the truffle magic evenly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  9. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the Wild Mushroom Risotto to serving plates, topping each portion with the reserved sautéed mushrooms. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.
