Mushroom Risotto
Mushroom Risotto uses two types of sliced mushrooms sautéed before combining with arborio rice, white wine, and chicken broth to create a creamy, tender dish. Finished with butter, chives, and freshly grated Parmesan, the risotto offers a rich, savory flavor and a smooth, slightly chewy texture typical of traditional risotto.
Ingredients
- 6 cups chicken broth , divided
- 3 tablespoons olive oil , divided
- 1 pound portobello mushrooms , thinly sliced
- 1 pound white mushrooms , thinly sliced
- 2 shallot diced
- 1 1/2 cups arborio rice
- 1/2 cup white wine dry
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 3 tablespoons chives , finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese , freshly grated
Instructions
- In a saucepan, warm the broth over low heat. Keep warm while cooking.
- Warm 2 tablespoons olive oil in a separate large saucepan over medium high heat.
- Stir in the mushrooms, and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Remove mushrooms and the liquid, and set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to skillet, and stir in the shallots. Cook 1 minute.
- Add rice, stirring to coat with oil, about 2 minutes. When the rice has taken on a pale, golden color, pour in wine, stirring constantly until the wine is fully absorbed.
- Add 1/2 cup broth to the rice, and stir until the broth is absorbed. Continue adding broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring continuously, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is al dente, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat, and stir in mushrooms with their liquid, butter, chives, and parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
