Rustic Mushroom Risotto
Rustic Mushroom Risotto
This mushroom risotto recipe goes “old school” with its traditional “stand and stir” technique. This approach may take a bit more time, but the results are well worth the effort.
Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth, heated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
- 3 cloves garlic peeled and finely minced
- ½ medium yellow onion finely chopped
- 4 oz. baby Portobello mushrooms cleaned and sliced
- 4 oz. white mushrooms cleaned and sliced
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- Sea salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- ½ cup dry white wine
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
- 2 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves finely chopped
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat chicken or vegetable broth until hot. Reduce heat to simmer and keep warm.
- Add olive oil, one tablespoon butter, and garlic to a large, high-sided skillet. Turn heat to medium and sauté for approximately one minute, or until garlic softens.
- Add onion and sauté for 2 minutes before adding the sliced mushrooms and dried thyme. Cook until mushrooms soften and release liquid, approximately 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Return pan to heat and add remaining butter. Add Arborio rice and sauté until thoroughly coated, approximately 1-2 minutes. Add white wine and stir constantly until wine is completely absorbed.
- Add one cup warm broth to pan and stir constantly until it is completely absorbed. Repeat with remaining broth, one cup at a time, until it is all incorporated and the rice has achieved a rich, creamy consistency, approximately 25-30 minutes. (For a creamier texture, add more broth until the desired results are achieved).
- Remove from heat and stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and fresh rosemary. Add mushrooms and stir until thoroughly combined. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
- Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh rosemary, if desired. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
