Risotto con porcini - (creamy rice with \"piglet mushrooms\")
4 servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | tablespoons | Olive oil |
| 1 | cup | Minced onion |
| 2 | tablespoons | Minced shallots |
| 12 | ounces | Fresh porcini mushrooms; sliced |
| (or use mixed wild mushrooms) | ||
| 2 | cups | Arborio rice |
| ½ | cup | Dry white wine |
| 6½ | cup | Hot chicken or veal stock |
| ½ | teaspoon | Salt |
| 2 | tablespoons | Butter; cut into bits |
| ½ | cup | Freshly-grated Parmigiano-Reggiano |
| Freshly-ground black pepper; to taste | ||
Directions
In a medium casserole, heat the olive oil and saute the onion and shallots until golden. Add the mushrooms and saute until tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the rice and stir to coat it with oil. Add the wine, stir well, and add ½ cup of the hot chicken stock and the salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until all the liquid has been absorbed. Continue to add hot stock in small batches (just enough to completely moisten the rice) and cook until each successive batch has been absorbed, stirring constantly, until the rice mixture is creamy al dente. Remove from the heat, beat in the butter and cheese, season with pepper to taste and serve immediately. This recipe yields 4 servings.
