Wild Mushroom Risotto Recipe by Chef Sarah French
Wild Mushroom Risotto by Chef Sarah French uses a combination of porcini and enoki mushrooms cooked with onion, garlic, and ginger, then combined with arborio rice and white wine. Gradually adding warm chicken stock while stirring produces a creamy texture. Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, and fresh coriander finish the dish, enhanced by butter and a splash of black truffle oil. The risotto features an earthy mushroom flavor balanced by citrus and herbs, offering a richly layered main or side course.
